Several steps need to be taken to protect open internet access in New York, Mr. Cuomo said. Among them is to make it illegal for internet service providers to give preferential treatment to certain websites and to penalize customers who access other content.

More transparency in health care

Is it cheaper to get knee surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital or at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan?

Mr. Cuomo wants the state to create a website called NYHealthcareCompare, which would list the cost of procedures at every hospital in the state. He said such a site would “increase competition in the marketplace” and drive down prices.

Allowing gestational surrogacy

Paid surrogacy is allowed in nearly every state, but not New York. Mr. Cuomo wants to lift that ban. Last year, legislation on paid surrogacy passed the State Senate but stalled in the Assembly, where the Democratic leader said he was concerned the process could be “commercialized.”

Allowing alcohol sales at movie theaters

To enjoy the movie “Cats,” it may help to have a beer or three. Currently, only theaters with full kitchens and tables inside their screening rooms can serve alcohol. Mr. Cuomo said that changing the law would help the businesses, which are facing increased competition from streaming services. (After all, in a living room, people can drink whatever they want.)

$9 million for drone tests

The money would be used to create an indoor “skydome” to test drone technology, the governor said. The proposed site is an unoccupied hangar at Griffiss International Airport, upstate in Oneida County.

Increased train access

Pennsylvania Station has 21 tracks and is the busiest rail station in the Western Hemisphere. Mr. Cuomo wants to add eight tracks, bringing about 175,000 more riders into the station. (It already gets 650,000 daily travelers.)
