This round of changes removes extensive provisions across multiple program areas without replacement, representing a significant scaling back of the original budget bill. The deletions eliminate entire regulatory frameworks including automated speed enforcement in work zones, consumer protections against algorithmic pricing discrimination, agricultural and farmland protection grant programs with specific funding formulas, and hazardous waste liability and remediation provisions. The changes also remove numerous preamble descriptions of Parts LLL through HHHH, suggesting these budget components may have been separated out or abandoned. The removals span transportation enforcement authority for the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, consumer protection requirements for dynamic pricing, detailed grant caps and cost-share percentages for farmland preservation (ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 per applicant with 50-87.5% state cost-share provisions), climate risk evaluation requirements, and comprehensive hazardous waste cleanup funding and liability frameworks previously codified in Environmental Conservation Law sections 27-1327 and State Finance Law section 97-b.
