ALBANY — The state budget is finished and signed into law, and among the hundreds of pages of legislative language and billions of dollars in taxation and spending is a significant amount of non-budget related policy changes to things like environmental goals, construction reviews and auto insurance.

The final plan spends $268.5 billion, the largest in state history as most annual budgets tend to be in New York. That’s $113 billion more than the 2016-17 state budget 10 years ago.
