By WRGB Staff

Albany, NY (WRGB) — Assemblymember Fahy is introducing the New York taxpayer and international debt crises protection act

It requires private creditors to join debt relief initiatives for developing nations, which are struggling with debt crises, the pandemic and economic shock from the war in Ukraine.

The bill prevents tax money that funds u-s contributions to debt relief initiatives from being used to bail out private creditors and enables countries that are in debt to support spending on health, education and other services for their most vulnerable.
