NYSAR’s first-time homebuyer savings program proposal (A.4427-A/S.6548) gained sponsors in both the Assembly and Senate from Assemblyman Phil Ramos (Long Island) and Senator Marc Panepinto (Buffalo). NYSAR’s agency education bill (A.9474), which would require two hours of agency-related coursework in a licensee’s initial two-year licensing term, has been introduced by Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee. NYSAR will continue to support these bills and encourage state lawmakers to pass these measures into law.
