What the bill would do

  • The bill would codify into permanent law the provisions contained in chapter 689 of the laws of 1993.
  • In practical terms, this means the provisions that were previously enacted as a temporary or sunset-enabled measure in 1993 would continue indefinitely unless later amended or repealed by the Legislature.
  • The bill does not, based on the available information, introduce new programs or funding; it preserves the existing framework by removing the potential expiration associated with chapter 689.

Context and potential impact

  • Making a law permanent typically ensures ongoing authority, regulation, or programmatic effect without the need for periodic renewal.
  • The exact impact depends on what chapter 689 of the laws of 1993 established (regulatory authority, a tax or fee provision, a program, or an exemption). To assess fiscal or operational implications fully, the text of chapter 689 would need to be reviewed.
  • If the underlying provisions had sunset conditions or required periodic evaluation, those requirements would be eliminated or altered to provide continuous effect.

Who or what would be affected

  • Entities subject to the provisions of chapter 689 of the laws of 1993—whether individuals, businesses, state agencies, or local governments—would continue to be bound by, or eligible under, these permanent provisions.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Referred to the Senate Committee on Codes, indicating the bill will be reviewed for legal and procedural alignment, potential amendments, and applicability before advancing to floor consideration.
  • No dates for a committee vote or floor action are provided; the normal legislative process would include committee review, potential amendments, and a chamber vote, followed by cross-chamber consideration.

Key takeaways
