EXPRESS YOURSELF!

On Friday, February 13th, 2026, Governor Hochul announced EXPRESS NY, a statewide effort to make government work better by tackling outdated and burdensome state regulations, policies, and practices that stand in the way of delivering for New Yorkers.

The State has launched a new online portal for New Yorkers to submit recommendations to cut red tape and improve government delivery. Specific areas of focus include recommendations that will:

• Speed up housing & infrastructure development by addressing obstacles that slow down our ability to build affordable housing and other infrastructure New Yorkers depend on: transportation, child care centers, water infrastructure, parks, community centers, and more.

• Support small businesses by tackling burdensome requirements and fees that make it difficult for businesses to launch, serve customers, or grow.

• Streamline access to services by simplifying complicated processes or removing unnecessary hurdles that prevent families from accessing benefits and services that New York State supports or oversees (e.g., healthcare, child care, nutrition, mental health).

We encourage you to support this initiative and submit your recommendations to the online portal by April 3, 2026. You are also encouraged to share this information with your networks to ensure we reach a broad and diverse audience. The letter from the Director of State Operations includes additional details.
