Governor Andrew Cuomo signed new laws in 2014 regarding climate change adaptation, invasive species, chemical regulation, wildlife, and hazardous substances. However, there was no comprehensive legislative reform of the Brownfield Cleanup Program. In March, the Legislature was unable to agree on a reform bill in time for the annual budget, and at the end of December, Cuomo vetoed the short-term extension of the program that the Legislature sent to his desk.
