New York will also decrease tax rates for the middle class by $162 million by April 2023, instead of waiting until 2025 to fully phase in those long-planned tax cuts.The budget follows through with Hochul's proposal to give judges more power to jail people who were repeatedly ticketed for minor theft or property damage offenses.

The law is set to expire June 30, but New York is extending that expiration to 2027.The state will start accepting bids for three new casinos this year, one year earlier than planned.
