ALBANY — The Cuomo administration introduced amendments to the executive budget late Thursday in the hopes that New York residents will be able to circumvent the newly enacted federal limits on the deductibility of state and local taxes.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s wide-ranging budget amendments, which mostly contain technical changes to legislative language, deal with a broad range of issues including taxes, specifically prohibiting sexual contact between law enforcement and individuals in custody, and early voting. Also included is an amendment that would prohibit a defendant from being able to ask a jury to find a harmed individual’s sexual orientation or gender expression to blame for a defendant’s violent reaction, the so-called gay panic defense.
