What the tally information means: the transcript alternates between voice questions and formal roll-call announcements. When the clerk announced a numeric result that figure is recorded above. For several calendar items the transcript lists senators who voted in the negative; in a few cases the clerk read specific counts (for example, Aye 62, or Ayes 61 Nays 1). Where only named negative votes were read without a numerical total, the transcript still records passage.

Sponsor Senator Salazar opened by saying, \"Crime victims and survivors do not fit a single demographic or stereotype,\" and described the ways victims require trauma-informed, culturally relevant services. Salazar, who identified as a survivor in floor remarks, said an estimated \"22,000,000 Americans are directly impacted by crime,\" emphasizing the broad reach of the issue.

Several senators supported the resolution while urging that recognition be followed by concrete actions. Senator Murray thanked the sponsor but said she \"may disagree with some of the language in the resolution\" and pressed for more legislative action and help for victims, saying, \"Actions speak louder than words\" and recounting attendance at a recent vigil where the permanence of victims' grief was evident. Senator Webb, as chair of the Senate Committee on Women's Issues, said the chamber should continue to pursue budgetary investments and policies that center survivors and equity in the criminal legal system.

Senator Bailey echoed the call for sustained action and suggested legislative work and budget choices can complement commemorative efforts. The resolution was adopted on the floor; the transcript records the resolution as previously adopted on the chamber calendar and votes were recorded as adopted.

Speakers on the floor framed the resolution as an important recognition but repeatedly cautioned that legislative measures and funding are necessary to convert the resolution’s intentions into services for survivors and communities.","The Senate adopted a resolution memorializing the governor to proclaim April 2025 as Crime Victims' Rights Week and several senators urged follow-up legislative and budgetary steps to support survivors.",{"_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},6610616,"Senate pauses to honor Dominicans in Albany and mourn victims of Santo Domingo nightclub fire",767,226000,993000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2902125-a2869a662d892b35405101666372434d&start=226&end=993","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2902125-a2869a662d892b35405101666372434d/thumbnail_226000.jpg","/articles/6610616/New-York/Senate-pauses-to-honor-Dominicans-in-Albany-and-mourn-victims-of-Santo-Domingo-nightclub-fire","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610616-3f7b9d813c5f5bc336a6f2ce462cabfb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201068&Signature=fuoonU5U8PDMN15uWs7D9WHiZCtr3n6tDWnB2lu~GNFdCj59i~~JAudiXC5IWLitIk7mMLxeTVOIGHqnVMF9NKwVU2cReNbo-~uQnZO9UyoKvN1hsTTbKG8bnv23Wxd2K4O6J~uBnS3phIxzoU7X67WYfZMVpRceTgPCgeH~-P~wxhtRudTMBZGu3NjUnUOm~1vf~ZqDVL9gpHeREnBhJO97l4LAxCtWB7x-wKwlQ431p5x7OOI2TGleCjdtX1GBbQuibJkHgx2g7g1V7n3E8iY12DIxAqgFKRu~goG9w-tGoyS8CcccNKjdb0wGih865UGs1SWhjSFgbdHfVNTiLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate on April 7 adopted Resolution 753 commemorating Dominicans in Albany and paused the chamber’s celebratory remarks to mourn victims of a nightclub incident in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.

Senator Sepulveda, sponsor of the resolution, opened by shifting the focus from celebration to condolence after news of the tragedy. \"From the bottom of my heart, my solidarity and my prayers with those that have been affected,\" he said, adding that \"at last count, 44 lives have been lost and about 40 people have been injured.\" The senator named several Dominican government officials and community leaders present in the chamber and invited members to join him in pausing for the victims.

The resolution text commemorates Dominican culture and the contribution of Dominican New Yorkers to state life. Several senators used their time in support of the measure to offer condolences and to acknowledge the grief in New York’s Dominican communities. Senator Weber said he wanted to \"offer my prayer and condolences to all of those families\" affected by the nightclub tragedy; Senator Bailey said the community is \"an incredibly important part of the fabric\" of the state and urged colleagues to keep affected families in their thoughts; Senator Serrano and Senator Myrie also offered condolences on the floor.

Sepulveda identified guests in the chamber by name and role: \"We are joined by Ignacio Aracena, an assemblyman and chair of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic government, Angel Alberto Encarnacion, deputy director of general operations of the general directorate of customs, and Raquel Elias Soriano Abreu, Head of the Management Department of General Directorate of Customs,\" and asked members to welcome them. The guests were recognized and extended the privileges and courtesies of the chamber.

The resolution itself was adopted by voice vote after the remarks. The record shows the question was put and the presiding officer announced the resolution adopted.

The floor remarks combined ceremonial recognition of Dominican contributions with an immediate, somber response to an international tragedy that members said had directly affected many New Yorkers. The chamber did not take separate substantive legislative action tied to the incident during this session.

Votes and formal actions relating to the resolution were recorded on the Senate floor as part of the day's proceedings.","The New York State Senate adopted a resolution honoring Dominicans in Albany and several senators used floor time to express condolences for victims of a deadly nightclub fire in Santo Domingo, which senators cited as having killed about 44 people and injured roughly 40 at last count.","actionData","errors"]
