Hochul working with New York legislative leaders to call special session on eviction moratorium

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Friday afternoon that she’s in talks with state legislative leaders to call a special session to address a U.S. Supreme Court ruling Thursday on eviction moratoriums.

“I am in talks with the Senate Majority Leader and Assembly Speaker to call a special session to address the impending eviction crisis, given the Supreme Court’s decision,” Hochul said in a statement. “Our teams will be working through the weekend to address how best to deliver relief to renters and homeowners in need as quickly as possible.”
