Story broken Wed May 20 by NY1's Bernadette Hogan: the State Legislature is considering a budget-bill provision that would give Mayor Mamdani authority through Jun 1, 2026 to nullify the Charter Revision Commission former Mayor Eric Adams established on his final day in office. A broader related provision would give future incoming mayors a similar window over commissions created late in a predecessor's term. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie confirmed Mamdani requested its inclusion in the FY27 state budget. The bill could pass as soon as Thursday May 21. Adams's commission held its first meeting Apr 20 at Randy Mastro's office; four public hearings are scheduled to begin May 27 across the boroughs covering open primaries, housing/land-use, and antisemitism/hate-crime responses. Commission member Kayla Mamelak Altus (X, May 20) said any attempt to "retroactively dismantle a legally constituted Charter Revision Commission in the middle of its work would be blatantly illegal" and warned of legal remedies. A Mamdani spokesperson (Dora Pekec) said the administration and Law Department are "reviewing all options." This is significant because: (1) it is a direct Albany-NYC mayoral power transfer embedded in the same budget package that delivers the $8B state aid deal announced Wed PM, (2) it pre-empts hearings scheduled to begin in six days, (3) it intersects with Mamdani's existing in-progress promise of a counter-commission of his own, and (4) it sets a precedent for future incoming mayors.
