Members asked detailed questions about implementation. Lawmakers pressed whether the mandate would apply to all job titles, whether agency policies would be subject to external review, and whether the word \"shall\" could be softened to \"may\" to reduce perceived obligation. Rosic said agencies could exclude positions and that collective bargaining status would limit applicability; she cited the Office of Information Technology Services (ITS) as an existing model in which workers apply annually and a coordinator oversees implementation.

Several members raised local economic concerns. Critics asked whether expanded telework might undermine downtown revitalization efforts in Albany (a referenced $400 million revitalization proposal was cited during floor debate) and harm small businesses that rely on in‑person state workers. Supporters argued telework is an industry standard and helps fill tens of thousands of vacancies across state government.

The bill establishes that each agency must designate a telework coordinator to oversee the program; the legislation does not prescribe grievance or review procedures but sponsors said existing agency processes (and collective bargaining where applicable) would apply. The final reading stated the act \"shall take effect on the ninetieth day.\" The roll call recorded passage: \"Ayes 126, Noes 18.\"","A bill requiring each state agency to establish a telework policy or program passed the Assembly.

Assemblymember Dinowitz, explaining the bill, said the measure is intended to address \"fraud, abuse, and other issues\" that have arisen in the retail ESCO market and to help consumers determine whether they are saving money.

Debate focused on operational questions and potential consumer impacts. Members asked whether the comparison should be mandatory for utilities as well as ESCOs, who would bear the cost of reformatting bills, and whether existing Public Service Commission (PSC) tools (a PSC website comparison tool) are sufficient. Dinowitz said ESCOs already work with utilities and that the information is \"readily accessible\" to ESCOs; he argued the comparison is a simple transparency measure that could benefit consumers.

Opponents said the bill could create confusion, impose costs that would be passed to ratepayers, risk unintended consequences for customers on fixed‑rate or annual contracts (including early termination fees), and could discourage competition. Assemblymember Bologna and others explained their negative votes as concerns about execution and whether the PSC should complete its internal review before the Legislature enacts further mandates.

Floor clerks read the final section stating the act \"shall take effect on the one hundred and eightieth day.\" The roll‑call on final passage recorded: \"Ayes 134, Noes 10.\" Sponsor Dinowitz and several questioners exchanged detailed procedural points on supply vs. delivery charges, bill formatting, and existing regulatory tools. The bill text requires monthly side‑by‑side comparisons on the first page of ESCO customer statements and an annual total‑price comparison; exact formatting and data‑exchange mechanisms between ESCOs and utilities were not resolved on the floor.

Members flagged enforcement mechanisms already available — including a consumer bill of rights and civil penalties enforced by the attorney general — and PSC orders from 2016 requiring guaranteed savings for new and renewal contracts and a ban on ESCO sales to low‑income customers. Supporters said added transparency on billing would show consumers when ESCO offers do or do not save money.","The Assembly passed legislation requiring energy service companies (ESCOs) to include a side‑by‑side comparison on customer bills showing ESCO prices versus local utility prices and an annual comparison of total charges.

Sponsor Assemblymember Al Vannell urged colleagues the changes will \"help minimize the childhood trauma associated with parental arrest\" and strengthen community trust with police.

The bill amends the executive law and the criminal procedure law to require development and establishment of policies and procedures aimed at reducing traumatic effects on children who witness arrests. In debate, Assemblymember Walsh questioned changes that remove a formal requirement to consult the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and instead require consultation with the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). Walsh asked whether the amendment’s language — replacing phrases such as \"shall make reasonable efforts to ensure the safety of such child\" with \"to the extent practicable\" — materially weakens officer obligations.

Vannell defended the chapter amendment, saying the superintendent of state police and the municipal training council are best positioned to adjust policies as \"best practices evolve\" and that the chapter is \"nimble enough to be able to change with the times.\" He told members the amendment addressed bipartisan concerns from earlier debate: it narrows the set of agencies formally involved in developing policies and softens some prescriptive language while preserving the aim of minimizing child trauma during arrests.

The Assembly read the final section on the floor and recorded final passage by roll call: \"Ayes 119, Noes 25.\" The act \"shall take effect on the one hundred and eightieth day.\" The sponsor and questioners discussed implementation details and the scope of consultation but did not record further technical directions on the floor during debate.

The measure makes several implementation changes compared with the version debated last year: it removes the explicit DCJS consultation requirement, adds \"to the extent practicable\" qualifiers in at least two places, and retains the superintendent and municipal training council as the entities charged with crafting policies. Members urged careful rule drafting in order to preserve children's safety while recognizing exigent circumstances that may arise during arrests.","The Assembly passed a chapter amendment directing the superintendent of state police and the municipal police training council to develop child‑sensitive arrest policies. The measure removes a requirement to consult DCJS, adds \"to the extent practicable\" language and takes effect on the 180th day after enactment.","actionData","errors"]
