Policy Matters: A Conversation with NYS Senator Jeremy Cooney

March 27, 2026 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce invites you to join us on Friday, March 27th at 10:30 AM for a discussion with New York State Senator Jeremy Cooney to learn more about how we're working to address rising health insurance costs for small businesses. 


Senator Cooney will provide an overview of multiple pieces of legislation he is sponsoring this year that work to lower healthcare costs by expanding access for small groups, including S8457 which restores New York's definition of "small group" for health insurance purposes to 50 or fewer employees and the HEARA Bill (S8614), which would allow people and small groups to buy into the state’s Essential Plan. Cooney will also provide an overview of other relevant projects happening this year in Albany for our Greater Rochester region.


Key Takeaways:

  • Attendees will leave with an understanding of how Senator Cooney is working in Albany to lower the healthcare costs, with a focus on impact for small- and medium-sized businesses in Greater Rochester
  • An exclusive opportunity to provide feedback on thoughtful implementation
  • Walk away with insights into how to support this legislation and advocate for passage in this year's Legislative Session


This event will be hosted at Greater Rochester Chamber offices, located downtown at 250 Clinton Square - for parking details, please click here.


Register by Friday, March 20th. Space is limited. This event is open to Greater Rochester Chamber Members only.
