Sources who spoke to The Buffalo News did so on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive, nearing-conclusion stage of the budget talks and the bipartisan Albany saying that nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.

But here are some things expected to be a part of the final budget later this week:

• Extending the rape shield law to victims of sex trafficking.

• Requiring seat belts for passengers sitting in the rear seats in vehicles on New York’s roads and streets.

• Rejecting an attempt to legalize the use of electric scooters and electric bikes. Though already on the streets and sidewalks in some communities, they are illegal and lawmakers expressed concern for the safety of pedestrians and others if the devices – which can hit speeds of 20 mph – are legalized in the state.

• A ban on single-use plastic bags given out by grocery stores and other retailers and imposing a 5-cent surcharge on consumers who want stores to give them paper bags. Officials are trying to push consumers to embrace reusable bags. Still not close to a deal: Who gets the money from the paper bag surcharge? Some want the revenues going to environmental programs, while one group is pushing that stores get to keep a part of the nickel paper bag levy.
