good news and bad news about the New York Health Act. bad news is that its primary sponsors don't think it'll pass this session, and given that momentum is around renewing rent laws, i don't think so either. there will be hearings by the end of the month. good news is that Tim Kennedy of Buffalo and Andrew Gounardes of south Brooklyn have signed on, bringing it to 31 sponsors. DSA members will be going to Diane Savino's office to talk about it. i also encourage calling Todd Kaminsky, who supported it before and is on the health committee. James Skoufis voted for it in the Assembly and two freshmen senators on Long Island supported it on the campaign trail. burn those phones up

Little late to follow up on this but I�m not super hopeful for kaminsky to move on NYHA- he�s pretty slick and in all my interactions with him he�s been very proficient in deflecting to the �single-payer isn�t the best way, we need to look into alternatives� narrative. James Gaughran (SD5) pretty solidly supported NYHA during his candidacy, and I know a lot of constituents who are pissed that he�s reneged on that support. I�m hosting a phone bank thursday and I think we�ll be focusing on his district.

Also going to be rallying at kaminskys local office later today for universal rent control. he has a TON of tenants in his district but of course he�s been lovely about the bills.

and yeah, all the scummy lobbying groups that have had the run of things until recently are running real scared. in particular, real estate has been making GBS threads their pants about the rent laws. there's been no new news, and in this case, no news is bad news

also kevin thomas seems cool but given his pedigree and the makeup of his district he should be way better than he is. unless something has changed he only signed on to the ETPA expansion bill, which doesn�t effect his district as far as I know. honestly I don�t think he was expecting to win in the first place.

he seems like a good guy though, but we need good guys that are actually gonna be vocal about supporting good legislation.

the thing about Thomas is that he's on Long Island where the cowardly suburban mentality is strong, and by virtue of backing (if not vocally so) some good legislation, that makes him better than every other freshman dem senator from LI. it'd be nice if he were louder about it

the finalized rent package is decent. unfortunately no good cause eviction, but expanding rent regulations statewide via local opt-in will be great moving forward. IAIs and MCIs have been restricted but not eliminated

sorry for the triple post but this is a small rundown of the rent laws that have passed. it's not a complete one, though. i got an email from the Crown Heights Tenants Union that's a more thorough breakdown

quote:

Extends the Rent Regulations Laws and Makes them Permanent:

This extender makes the rent regulation system permanent, so they will not sunset at any time in the future without an act of the Legislature to repeal or terminate them.

Rent Regulation laws have been scheduled to expire every four to eight years for decades.
Repeals High Rent Vacancy Deregulation & High Income Deregulation:

Repeals the provisions that allow removal of units from rent stabilization when the rent crosses a statutory high-rent threshold and the unit becomes vacant or the tenant�s income is $200,000 or higher in the preceding two years.

Previous provisions led to the deregulation of more than 300,000 units since they were first passed in 1994.
Reforms Owner Use Exception to Rent Regulation:

Limits the use of the �owner use� provision to a single unit, requires that the owner or their immediate family use the unit as their primary residence, and protects long-term tenants from eviction under this exception by reducing the current length of tenancy required to be protected from eviction to 15 years.
Keeps Stabilized Apartments Rented by Nonprofits in the Rent Stabilization System:

Limits the temporary non-profit exception to rent stabilization by requiring units to remain rent-stabilized if they are provided to individuals who are or were homeless or are at risk of homelessness.

Provides that individuals permanently or temporarily housed by nonprofits status as tenants while ensuring that units used for these purposes remain rent stabilized.
Repeals the Vacancy Bonus & Longevity Bonus:

Repeals the �vacancy bonus� provision that allows a property owner to raise rents as much as 20% each time a unit becomes vacant.

It also repeals the �longevity bonus� provision that allows rents to be raised by additional amounts based on the duration of the previous tenancy.

Prohibits local Rent Guidelines Boards from reinstating vacancy bonus on their own.
Prohibits Rent Guidelines Board from Setting Class-Specific Renewal Increases:

Prohibits Rent Guidelines Boards from setting additional increases based on the current rental cost of a unit or the amount of time since the owner was authorized to take additional rent increases, such as a vacancy bonus.
Makes Preferential Rents the Base Rent for Lease Renewal Increases:

Prohibits owners who have offered tenants a �preferential rent� below the legal regulated rent from raising the rent to the full legal rent upon renewal.

Once the tenant vacates, the owner can charge any rent up to the full legal regulated rent, so long as the tenant did not vacate due to the owner�s failure to maintain the unit in habitable condition.

Owners with rent-setting regulatory agreements with federal or state agencies will still be permitted to use preferential rents based on their particular agreements.
Provides Relief from Large Rent Increases for Rent-Controlled Tenants:

Sets Maximum Collectible Rent increases at the average of the five most recent Rent Guidelines Board annual rent increases for one-year renewals.

This bill also prohibits fuel pass-along charges.
Extends Rent Overcharge Four-Year Look-Back Period to Six Years:

Extends the four-year look-back period to six or more years as reasonably necessary to determine a reliable base rent, extends the period for which an owner can be liable for rent overcharge claims from two to six years, and would no longer allow owners to avoid treble damages if they voluntarily return the amount of the rent overcharge prior to a decision being made by a court or Housing and Community Renewal (HCR).

Allows tenants to assert their overcharge claims in court or at HCR and states that while an owner may discard records after six years, they do so at their own risk.
Reforms Rent Increases for Major Capital Improvements (MCIs):

Lowers the rent increase cap from 6% to 2% in New York City and from 15% to 2% in other counties.

Provides the same protections of the 2% cap going forward on MCI rent increases attributable to MCIs that became effective within the prior 7 years.

Lowers increases further by lengthening the MCI formula�s amortization period.

Eliminates MCI increases after 30 years instead of allowing them to remain in effect permanently.

Significantly tightens the rules governing what spending may qualify for MCI increases and tightens enforcement of those rules by requiring that 25% of MCIs be inspected and audited.
Reforms Rent Increases for Individual Apartment Improvements (IAIs):

Caps the amount of IAI spending at $15,000 over a 15-year period and allow owners to make up to 3 IAIs during that time.

Makes IAI increases temporary for 30 years rather than permanent and requires owners to clear any hazardous violations in the apartment before collecting an increase.
Requires Annual Report From HCR On Rent Administration and Tenant Protection:

Requires the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to submit an annual report on the programs and activities undertaken by the Office of Rent Administration and the Tenant Protection Unit regarding implementation, administration, and enforcement of the rent regulation system.

The report will also include data points regarding the number of rent stabilized units within each county, applications and approvals for major capital improvements, units with preferential rents, rents charged, and overcharge complaints.
Co-Op/Condo Conversion Reforms:

Strengthens and makes permanent the system that protects tenants in buildings that owners seek to convert into co-ops or condos.

Eliminates the option of �eviction plans� and institutes reforms for non-eviction plans.

Requires 51% of tenants in residents to agree to purchase apartments before the conversion can be effective. (Currently 15% of apartments must be sold and the purchasers may be outside investors.)

For market-rate senior citizens and disabled tenants during conversion, evictions are permitted only for good cause, where an unconscionable rent increase does not constitute good cause.
Establishes Rent Stabilization as an Option for Localities Statewide:

Removes the geographical restrictions on the applicability of the rent stabilization laws, allowing any municipality that otherwise meets the statutory requirements (e.g., less than 5% vacancy in the housing stock to be regulated) to opt into rent stabilization.
Establishes Stronger Housing Security and Tenant Protections Statewide:

Creates transformational protections for all residential tenants throughout the state.

Bans the use of so-called �tenant blacklists� - protecting tenants who enforce their rights.

Limits security deposits to one month�s rent and provides required procedures to ensure the landlord promptly returns the security deposit.

Includes a wide variety of protections for tenants during the eviction process, including strengthening protections against retaliatory evictions.

Creates the crime of unlawful eviction, where a landlord illegally locks out or uses force to evict a tenant, as a Class A Misdemeanor and also punishable by a civil penalty of between $1,000 and $10,000 per violation.

Requires landlords to provide notice to tenants if they intend to increase the rent more than 5% or do not intend to renew the tenants� lease.

Provides tenants more time in eviction proceedings to get a lawyer, fix violations of the lease, or pay rent owed.

Expands the ability of the court to stay an eviction for up to one year if the tenant cannot find a similar suitable dwelling in the same neighborhood after due and reasonable efforts or the eviction would cause extreme hardship.
Implements Mobile & Manufactured Home Tenant Protections:

Limits rent increases to 3% unless the increase is justifiable, in which case the park owner may increase rent up to 6%. Should the park owner need an increase higher than 6%, the owner must apply for a hardship allowance from HCR.

Establishes new Rent-to-Own protections that would protect MMH tenants attempting to purchase a home from a MMH park owner or operator.

Adds a �Homeowner�s Bill of Rights� rider for all leases.

Strengthens protections against evictions from parks, including for seasonal residents.

Creates new protections for MMH owners if a park owner or operator decides to change the use of the park by prohibiting a park owner from starting an eviction case against a MMH for 2 years and provide a stipend up to $15,000 when they are evicted due to the change of use.

IAIs and MCIs haven't been completely eliminated and good cause eviction wasn't included, but the tenant groups i've gotten emails from have hailed this as a victory, albeit with more things to fight for in the future. making the rent laws permanent is an excellent move too, this song and dance with renewal was pretty tiresome to follow every four years

Panel at LIA meeting knocks state single-payer health care bill

quote:

The New York Health Act, which would launch state-financed single-payer health care in New York, would lead to higher taxes and deep revenue cuts at area hospitals, experts said at a Long Island Association breakfast panel held Thursday in Melville.

The act has passed the Assembly several years in a row, but has never made it through the Senate, which had been under Republican control until the most recent state elections in 2018.

With the Senate under Democratic control, "there is concern," said Kevin Dahill, the chief executive of the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, which lobbies on behalf of area hospitals. A single-payer bill "has been around for about 20 years, and we haven't worried about it for about 17 years. Now we are worried."

The law would provide health care for every resident with no copays, deductibles or premiums.

Critics of the legislation on the panel said the cost of the new plan would be exorbitant, especially if the state used Medicare rates to make payments to providers.

"Ninety-three hospitals would lose more than 10 percent of revenue," said Bill Hammond, director of health policy at the Empire Center for Public Policy, a fiscally conservative Albany think tank.

"Three-quarters of hospitals would lose money. It would have a ripple effect through the economy," Hammond added.

A study last year by the RAND Corp., a nonprofit analytical think tank, concluded that a single-payer system would force New York to raise another $139 billion in state tax revenue to cover the program for 2022, the year it modeled.

Proponents of the bill said a single-payer system would immediately cover the 1 million New Yorkers who don't currently have health insurance. Supporters also said about half of New Yorkers covered by private health insurance plans delayed or skipped basic care due to cost.

TEN PERCENT OF REVENUE

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO

working in the industry only made me more dedicated to single payer because dealing with private insurance is a tremendous pain in the rear end for the provider as well. those fuckers don't pay. hospitals will get used to it and wonder why we haven't had this sooner. i'm gonna make my move out of this industry at some point

Hey yall, there's a bill in the state legislature that would require insurance companies to cover mental health services provided by professionals licensed under Article 163 of the Education Law, which would include Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Creative Arts Therapists and Licensed Psychoanalysts -- basically everyone other than psychologists. If you think that more people having access to affordable therapy and other mental health treatment is a good thing, take a few minutes to call your state senator and assembly member and let them know that you're in favor of the amended Assembly Bill 670 (Bronson) and Senate Bill 6212 (Senator Kennedy).

he also used the chair of the NY Dems that he absolutely doesn't completely control, not one bit, to threaten the LI senators into not supporting it, while also saying it needs to be passed by the legislature. it speaks to how loving stupid our voters are that they are willing let that scummy oval office stay in power as long as he wants to

my friend is speculating that Jumaane is prepping for a primary challenge in 2022, and you know what? good for him. get that poo poo started. cuomo is trump if he were halfway competent

speaking of primary challenges: eastern Bronx assemblyman Michael Bendetto is officially facing a primary challenge in a self-described socialist whose last name is Soto (can't remember his first name). that district has changed a lot since Bendetto took over 15 years ago, in that it's minority white instead of majority white. i also heard that Joe Lentol in Williamsburg and Greenpoint, who's been there since the '80s, will be getting one from Emily Gallagher. she narrowly lost the primary for 50th AD female district leader as an anti-machine candidate. i think that's a more winnable seat- outside of Coop City, Bendetto's district is fairly suburban
