Items called and recorded as passed on the day included (calendar number and sponsor as read on the floor):

- Calendar No. 9, Senate Print 1356 by Senator Scoopfus \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000(announced: \"Ayes, 57. The bill's passed.\").
- Calendar No. 192, Senate Print 2482 by Senator Parker (read last section; \"Bill's passed\").
- Calendar No. 198, Senate Print 2458 by Senator Comer (announced: \"58. Bills pass\").
- Calendar No. (unnumbered in excerpt) Senate Print 2618 by Senator Adabo relating to racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding (announced: \"Ayes, 58. The bill's passed.\").
- Calendar No. 339, Senate Print 2479 by Senator Parker directing NYSERDA to study microgrid feasibility and efficiency (in relation to calendar 339 recorded ayes 57, nays 1; bill passed).
- Calendar Nos. 394 and 395, Senate Prints 1126 and 1984 by Senators Hinchey and Harcombe (environmental and Jamaica Bay/ecological restoration study measures) (announced: \"Ayes 58. Bills passed.\").

Most of these measures were read to the last section and called for roll; several were recorded as taking effect immediately or on a specified later date depending on the section read. The transcript includes brief readouts of results (\"Ayes 57/58\") but does not record floor explanations for these items in the excerpt provided.

Why it matters: These measures cover a range of policy areas, including public-authorities law, environmental conservation law, energy and microgrid study authority, and racing/wagering statutes. The quick passage indicates committee and calendar-level agreement or prioritization for those items.

Procedure note: Because these calendar items had limited floor debate in the provided transcript excerpt, the article lists sponsor names and the floor-cited section information where available; full texts and detailed legislative analyses are available in the official legislative record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New York State Senate Session - 03/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On March 20 the New York State Senate moved several bills to passage with little floor discussion; the calendar included measures on public authorities, racing and wagering, environmental studies, and a microgrid study among others.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature NY, New York","taxId",77685,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626015,"Senator Barrello records opposition as Senate passes Medicaid auto-renewal bill",39,899000,938000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308&start=899&end=938","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308/thumbnail_899000.jpg","/articles/6626015/New-York/Senator-Barrello-records-opposition-as-Senate-passes-Medicaid-auto-renewal-bill","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626015-263458fd9db9beec7eac270ca675b2d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771016599&Signature=WOShhhxoQrACGwbPF3Dfem2TegSVZ1EGKklBq3FGyk61pfWqGS-zTE8RdHKjmbFTdITfZ2HtrdkXHVPk9MIFDQfy9j9lpUvRg82ws6EVNqBm0~Aq4-EB~eycYkYmGb2MJ9br6YtieHSgCSlt5Gkn8neQyD2P7DJaPEmc5ezm4W92a4jYyc4Zuk4CHucGnngQNjg2bu~Dzgsh6WUqGo0Oo~sUd2lmVdwuuR2zqLH-1wBOk~6lgEsbGf1Hyas~z0ciEEt~VpYD3fidPJ79qLtemwDhYGkEYcK78wBzFK5vbZvGbqrcGwfst6S-3IR3cYN~nOz-W0iyIViBfzvUW168Yg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate passed Senate Print 1617 (calendar 128) on March 20. The measure, read on the floor as an enactment relating to public-health administration, was the subject of a floor explanation by Senator Barrello, who recorded a negative vote.

In his floor explanation, Senator Barrello said he had \"a lot of concerns\" about the bill because it would automatically renew Medicaid applications. He asserted that a report showed \"roughly 3,000,000 people are not eligible for Medicaid that are actually collecting right now\" and claimed the cost to taxpayers was \"to the tune of $20,000,000,000 a year,\" adding that \"a million of which we can't even prove actually exist.\" Barrello said the automatic-renewal approach would be a mistake and stated he would vote no.

The Senate proceeded to a roll call and the bill was passed. The transcript records Barrello's negative vote on the floor; a full roll-call tally for all members was not recorded in the excerpted transcript.","The Senate passed Senate Print 1617 (calendar 128), a measure affecting public-health administration; Senator Barrello spoke against the bill citing concerns about ineligible enrollees and fraud before the bill passed on March 20, 2025.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626019,"Senate passes bill banning no-rehire clauses in settlement agreements after floor debate",270,1091000,1361000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308&start=1091&end=1361","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308/thumbnail_1091000.jpg","/articles/6626019/New-York/Senate-passes-bill-banning-no-rehire-clauses-in-settlement-agreements-after-floor-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626019-be8c2bd4d59e6fe2dbebff54fe75a038/orig.mp4?Expires=1771016599&Signature=e5W9sgvkzcQd4e-urTGMOf5OC1YWnZ-18qChKMSNJrQ16npvt7PuECPVx2Ud8aZSIiQd7tKGbhSlE5h7euY3FcSA50h3bcc~o9RBChUoegAD10wPjsGtLXi09Boe4KPYf41EUQhsRqOISMSy0HzyvbqQrgbgooE~ZclRUIs1XbuLsjZ240IDBFnI89hkZYwIn6KPYZtxtwSHAR0vpc1AQKYwL8Gl3BVnJ-H1z1rMbp9nXGwKJwD4prCqcfiDGsJ3HPRLQLvKX9G5HhJoGq3T0ObitoYFTd3~nR0FAhFL4mNUcn7JFO3DkqitWLr2v3FCnHdIsblSd4LdpzG0vNLPxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate on March 20 passed Senate Print 413, a bill to ban \"no-rehire\" provisions in settlement agreements arising from workplace harassment or discrimination claims. The bill was described on the floor as an amendment to the general obligations law and, according to the sponsor memo read on the floor, will prevent settlement terms that bar victims from seeking future employment across an entire company or employer group.

Senator Helming opposed the measure, arguing the bill and its timing were \"highly, highly hypocritical\" and saying the measure could harm corrections officers and their families. \"Our corrections officers deserve some justice,\" Helming said, urging colleagues to oppose what she called an overreach.

Senator Borrello also argued against the bill, saying it would prevent certain employers from enforcing no-rehire restrictions and criticized the timing in relation to a recent strike. \"This is completely hypocritical and unfair,\" he said, and recorded his negative vote.

Senator Gennardis (floor explanation) framed the bill as aimed specifically at protecting victims of workplace sexual harassment and discrimination from coercive settlement demands that bar future employment: \"This bill is about victims of workplace ... harassment being told as a condition of their settlement ... that they don't have to accept the inability of themselves to pursue another job opportunity anywhere in their company around the entire globe.\"

The Senate recorded a roll-call result in relation to calendar 342: yeas 36, nays 22. The transcript lists multiple senators voting in the negative. The bill passed and, per its read section, would take effect on the sixtieth day after it becomes law.

Why it matters: supporters said the bill limits employers' ability to coerce victims into forfeiting future employment options; opponents raised concerns about unintended consequences for particular employee groups and timing with other labor events.

Procedure: the bill passed on third reading and awaits enrollment and presentation to the governor for signature or veto.","The Senate passed Senate Print 413, which prohibits employers from including broad no-rehire clauses in settlement agreements for workplace harassment and discrimination claims; vote was 36-22 on March 20, 2025.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6626024,"New York Senate adopts resolution recognizing 1984 violence against Sikhs and honoring community",53,351000,404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308&start=351&end=404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2754785-08005bf603722a2cf944c6c784570308/thumbnail_351000.jpg","/articles/6626024/New-York/New-York-Senate-adopts-resolution-recognizing-1984-violence-against-Sikhs-and-honoring-community","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6626024-3e22c51353924f2c353f0e43a427153c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771016599&Signature=DUq5Ja2T3Xxkdu0VEELUhZF5QulfOO0kSB-lxKGGhXDGgnLPZeXM5BHUtZMPHbYI25wXRGBbw7gBePPIYOhuzgGpA-tqJgPMZs~6zs6Z53SgiTCVz2TZR0mkgiDdlvOiS5hD~5FpvCq8sJ5FbPW7ZPOZMvydYVV7w9mL3j1HBUVnHKO8dhq~sbrzBwqaAyqkdsPIl2TUf9jikMxg~Um1C1UoMsL9sXWg1OBFGHT2zJBmQLr4zoXU5Wi3TZu4vciqpAreg4J~LhDc2CaFQMUskm9mOuUL5JTw~kKervhT5kU1PXsP7s6xQ3rMq5d5ckctbbZyptuetkLGoBOCVpQRlQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate on March 20 adopted privileged Resolution 569, offered by Senator Ramos, recognizing the contributions of the Sikh community and commemorating the 1984 violence that survivors and advocates describe as a massacre.

Senator Jessica Ramos said the resolution was both a remembrance and a call to action: \"While the federal government doesn't yet recognize it as such, it was a genocide,\" she said, calling attention to survivors and human-rights efforts that remain ongoing. Ramos asked colleagues to pass the measure as an affirmation that \"New York is a state built on diversity, inclusion, and justice.\"

The resolution was read by the secretary and then addressed on the floor. Senator Lewin said she \"wholeheartedly\" supported the resolution and urged colleagues to back it. Senator Bernie Sanders praised a Sikh practice he said fosters community, saying \"anyone who is hungry of any faith, can walk in and sit down and get something to eat.\"

Following remarks, the Senate adopted the resolution by voice vote. Senator Ramos then opened the resolution for cosponsorship and asked colleagues to notify the desk if they wished to be added.

Why it matters: supporters said the resolution recognizes a painful episode in modern history while formally honoring the Sikh community's civic contributions in New York. The resolution does not create new law but serves as an official statement of the Senate.

Procedure and next steps: the resolution was adopted on the floor and is open for cosponsorship; the sponsor asked members to notify the desk if they declined to cosponsor.","The New York State Senate on March 20 adopted a privileged resolution by Senator Ramos commemorating violence against the Sikh community in 1984, praising the community\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000and opening the measure for cosponsorship.","actionData","errors"]
