Budget deal announced by Governor & legislative leaders

Floor action on most budget bills expected today, Tuesday, June 27

The Governor and the leaders of the Assembly and Senate announced late on Monday, June 26, that they have reached an agreement on the 2023-24 state budget. Their statement is here.

The two houses’ budget committees held hearings on Monday. (While the Assembly Budget Committee was previously announced to be “on call” for Tuesday, no additional Assembly Budget Committee hearing is expected.) Bill analyses and a summary of the June 26 budget agreement were posted on the websites of both the Assembly Budget Committee and the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review.

Approximately 20 of the 22 budget bills jr., trailer bills, and other bills authored by the Budget Committees are expected for legislative floor votes on Tuesday, June 27. (The 22 bills are listed here.)

Other policy bills that were discussed in recent weeks were mentioned in the budget deal announcement late on Monday, June 26. Newly amended policy bills may be re-referred to policy committees in the Assembly for hearings this week. The policy bills mentioned in the deal announcement — as well as the two trailer bills not eligible for legislative floor votes until after June 27 — are summarized below.
