13th NY State Budget Extender Passes Mon May 18 — Runs Through Wed May 20; $8B Bill, Schools Get ~$6B; Pretlow Says Total Could Be $262-266B (Below Hochul's $268B); $31.7B Total in Extenders Since April 1

NY lawmakers passed the 13th emergency budget extender Mon May 18 — S10520/A11445, ~$8B, keeps state funded through Wed May 20. Vote: Assembly 130-0, Senate 57-2. Schools receive close to $6B under this extender. Day 48+ since April 1 deadline (latest budget in 16 years). Assemblymember Gary Pretlow flagged the final number may land at $262-266B, below Hochul's announced $268B framework — 'The number has not been finalized.' Cumulative 'temporarily' appropriated since April 1: $31.7B. Hochul on Apr 30: had said deal 'this week'; that 'this week' has now slipped 3 weeks. Direct exposure: Mamdani's FY27 city budget assumes ~$4B incremental state aid and a state-enacted pied-à-terre tax (projected $500M/yr) — both contingent on the unresolved framework.
