This week: The session ends in Albany with the RAISE Act moving to the governor’s desk. Meanwhile, significant AI bills continue to move forward in Sacramento.

The RAISE Act, passed by the New York legislature on June 12, now awaits approval or veto on the desk of Gov. Kathy Hochul. It’s one of the most significant AI measures passed during the 2025 legislative season.

New York legislators adjourned sine die in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, leaving dozens of bills out of time. Still alive: the RAISE Act, which awaits action on the desk of Gov. Kathy Hochul.
