Is New York's minimum wage going up?

I heard something a week or so ago about minimum wages going up. Has anyone heard any more news on this. I haven't and can't find anything online about it.

Although the New York State Assembly passed a bill that would raise the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 on May 15, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says pushing the bill through the GOP-dominated Senate is not in the “realm of possibility.” Progressive organizations have condemned the governors inaction on a wage hike, and fiscal conservatives are defending his decision as supportive of the business community.
I haven't heard of any progress on it.
