New York lawmakers are once again seeking the creation of a task force to study issues facing kids with dyslexia in the state after Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed similar legislation last year.

For lawmakers, the measure is meant to address ways of finding "best practices" for the estimated 900,000 students with dyslexia in New York. Hochul had vetoed the measure along with a slew of other bills creating task forces and commissions on the grounds that state agencies were already performing those duties, and the bills were approved outside of the budget process.

This year's measure cleared both key education committee votes this week in the state Senate and Assembly. Prior to Hochul's veto, the measure was approved unanimously last year by both chambers.

“The governor’s veto of the Dyslexia Task Force Act last year was one of the most disappointing in recent memory," said state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal. "But for over 900,000 New York school kids with this reading disorder, dyslexia’s not going away, and neither are we."

Hochul at the end of last year vetoed dozens of bills that were sent to her desk, pointing to the duplicative nature of the measures that were being proposed.

“Many of these studies are being undertaken by our agencies and departments already," Hochul said at the time. "And we can work with the legislature to make sure they understand, yes, we care about all of these issues in the studies they recommended."
