概要

 Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed the Medical Aid in Dying Act into law, allowing terminally ill New Yorkers with less than six months to live to access aid in dying, a move praised by advocates like Compassion & Choices for providing dignified end-of-life options. According to the Governors office, State Senator Gustavo Rivera highlighted the bills compassionate intent. In politics, New York Democrats at their Syracuse convention renominated Hochul, Lieutenant Governor candidate Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, and Attorney General Letitia James for the November ballot, with Hochul securing over 85 percent of the vote amid minimal challenges, as reported by City & State New York. Democrats also swept recent special elections, strengthening their state Senate push, per the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.

The state legislature kicked off its 2026 session with days through early February, including joint budget hearings from January 27 to February 26 on Hochuls SFY 2026-27 proposal, where OASAS Commissioner Cunningham testified on over 1.3 billion in addiction services funding, including provider wage increases and prevention programs.

New York grapples with extreme cold, with an Extreme Cold Warning through Sunday afternoon and Wind Advisory until late Saturday, bringing wind chills to minus 30 degrees north and west, the coldest since 2023, CBS News New York reports. Light snow left coatings to 1 inch statewide, up to 4-7 inches on eastern Long Island. In response, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expanded safe haven beds, warming centers, and outreach, placing over 1,300 into shelter since January, via the Mayors office.

Looking Ahead: Watch for ongoing budget hearings through February 26, potential primary challenges in June, and warming temperatures into the 30s next week amid no major storms.
