Albany Legislator Introduces Bill to Repeal State Income Limits for Lawmakers
What happened
Clyde Vanel introduced legislation (A.11733) in Albany to repeal the outside income limits for state lawmakers established in 2022. The 2022 law raised the annual pay for lawmakers to $142,000 while capping extra earnings from fees or services at $35,000 per year. The limits took effect in 2025, with enforcement scheduled to begin on January 1, 2027.

Why it matters
The proposed legislation seeks to change the financial rules governing state lawmakers in New York. The original 2022 law was intended to prevent corruption and conflict of interest, and the new bill argues the income cap is not the correct method to achieve those goals.
Local advocates have also pushed bills to repeal parking bans and co-sponsor legislation regarding automated camera enforcement in the area.
