ALBANY, N. Y.—New York lawmakers passed a bill Wednesday to extend the state’s eviction moratorium until Jan. 15, a move they said would give officials more time to distribute rental assistance funds after the Supreme Court struck down federal protections last month.
Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered a special session of the Legislature to extend the moratorium and amend a state eviction-protection law that was stayed by a separate Supreme Court ruling. The state and federal moratoriums expired on Tuesday night.
