Governor Paterson Signs Two Bills Into Law
Governor Paterson recently signed two bills into law. The first is A8219 (Glick) Office of Professions Licensure, which authorizes the commissioner of education to impose a 15% surcharge on any professional fee imposed that is subject to deposit in the office of professions account. AIANYS supports this as the goal is to increase the Department's ability to curtail illegal practice.
The second signed into law is A7967 (Hoyt) which establishes the New York Main Street program to provide financial and technical assistance to help communities preserve and revitalize downtown business districts.
