Several measures described as amendments to the Environmental Conservation Law were reported from the rules committee and read on the supplemental and regular calendars. The floor record shows multiple calendar items (senate prints including, among others, S.1733, S.51611 and several bills introduced by Senators Hartman, Holman/Hoylman-Sigal, Hinchey, Fernandez and others) were called, read in their final section and recorded as passed on voice and roll-call votes.

Senator Parker’s Just Energy Transition Act (Senate print 51 11) was reported and placed on the calendar and subsequently passed. The floor transcript records a roll-call with several senators recorded in the negative; the passage is recorded in the floor minutes.

Senator May spoke at length in favor of a bill to require PFAS discharge disclosure (identified on the calendar as Senate print 45 74b). May described PFAS as “forever chemicals,” detailed health concerns and said the bill would require disclosure of PFAS discharge by industrial producers, industrial waste treatment facilities and publicly owned treatment works. The transcript records Senator May voting \"I\" and the bill recorded as passing with 52 affirmative votes.

A procedural controversy arose during consideration of a Public Authorities Law item (Senate print 16 68). Senator Matera appealed the chair’s ruling about the germaneness of an amendment that sought to repeal the All Electric Building Act; Matera argued the amendment was germane because both relate to costs and energy policy. The appeal was heard on the floor and put to a vote; the transcript records named negative votes on the procedure and then continues with passage of the calendar item. The floor record in this excerpt does not state a textual change to the underlying Public Authorities Law bill as a result of the appeal.

Why it matters: The measures reported and passed affect land use and environmental permitting under the Environmental Conservation Law, set policy relating to energy transition, and require industry and municipal wastewater sources to disclose PFAS discharges — a regulatory step advocates say will inform drinking-water protections.

What the transcript records and what it does not: The floor transcript lists the senate print numbers and frequently records the names of senators voting in the negative on certain calendars; where the transcript gives a counted total (for example, 52 ayes on the PFAS disclosure bill), that tally is noted. For multiple calendar items the transcript only records “bills passed” or provides partial roll-call detail; the excerpt does not include enrolled bill text, fiscal notes, or final statutory language.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New York State Senate Session - 04/22/2025","oneSentenceSummary","On April 20, 2025 the New York State Senate advanced multiple bills on the environmental conservation law, enacted the Just Energy Transition Act on the floor and approved a PFAS discharge disclosure measure; a procedural appeal over a germane amendment was raised and voted on during debate.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature NY, New York","taxId",77685,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6580483,"Senate approves short-term appropriations extender, including $2.4 billion for school aid",147,375000,522000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3084188-73fc5f7968dc4c5be0c0d1efb662d698&start=375&end=522","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3084188-73fc5f7968dc4c5be0c0d1efb662d698/thumbnail_375000.jpg","/articles/6580483/New-York/Senate-approves-short-term-appropriations-extender-including-24-billion-for-school-aid","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6580483-f7bfeacf5f793fd9b467d865fa09da8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771034890&Signature=mBYE1~vo-NWiox-2epc8BjUieYp0WGutgsF0etG~0vgs~bvTLF3EYvkVUa2NNin2vWVB4zG2inLEEP0ECSM1D9wOxwTyz2~3u7-FBSoDucTaMSToMGmzwcjEsGwtRXULcDFj6Y-6Sc~V5OFj-xgGvyEX6Pzn094t2BMGPy4zc-60~jWKb2pEejR19IVTRWQGrTejEn9VZjuxdioQWGP7019-WYNWImvCExg9-8pyaE0774Lo60LrYlrgGYy-QW2sxE4Kr3PwHQW4-aTo5xm1N4FIV2xSZuJMTQrQ0Sapfx0RBq-20Gft7WZRr1ipZ~7qIvfDqw-8~SeRSAJAPaQccA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate on April 20 approved a temporary appropriations measure — Assembly A8015, substituted for Senate bill S7530 — to provide short-term spending authority for state government and to fund the next school-aid payment.

Senator Mayer, the sponsor on the floor, told colleagues the bill “provides a 12,100,000,000.0 in appropriation authority, meets certain payroll costs of certain agencies, and most importantly, it provides 2,400,000,000.0 for [the] next school-aid payment, and it runs through this Thursday.”

The bill was introduced on the supplemental calendar after a rules-committee substitution and faced brief questions on the floor. Senator Merrick asked for a summary of how much was new funding versus aggregate authority; Mayer said the bill includes an aggregate cap and represents “a 2,500,000,000.0 increase over the prior extender.”

Senators closed debate after the sponsor’s answers and the Senate proceeded to read the bill’s final section and call the roll. The measure was approved on the floor and moved forward to effect immediately, according to the floor record.

Why it matters: The extender keeps state payrolls and core operations funded while negotiations over the broader budget continue. The $2.4 billion identified for school aid is intended to cover the upcoming school-aid payment that districts expect in this budget cycle.

Technical and procedural notes: The assembly bill A8015 was discharged and substituted for the identical senate bill noted on the floor; the substitution and message of necessity were accepted before the vote. The transcript records the appropriation authority and school-aid amounts as stated by the sponsor; the exact roll-call tally for the final passage of this particular extender is not specified in the floor transcript excerpt.

Looking ahead: The Senate adjourned to meet again on Thursday, April 24, at 11 a.m., with intervening days designated as legislative days, leaving a short window for negotiators to resolve outstanding items in the state budget.","On April 20, 2025, the New York State Senate passed a temporary appropriations bill (Assembly A8015, substituted for Senate S7530) that provides broad spending authority to keep state government operating and includes $2.4 billion for the next school-aid payment; the extender runs through the coming Thursday, lawmakers said.","actionData","errors"]
