New York S03422 mandates withholding the governor's salary until the legislative passage of the budget.

New York S03422 amends the executive law to withhold the governor's salary until the legislative passage of the budget. Effective January 1, 2026, the governor's salary will be withheld if the budget has not been passed by the legislature before the fiscal year begins. The withheld amount will be paid once the budget is passed. The bill defines "net payment" as the governor's gross salary minus deductions such as federal and state taxes, and "legislative passage of the budget" as the final action on appropriation bills by both houses of the legislature.
