The bill passed with a roll-call result of Ayes 52, Nays 5; the transcript named Senators Kenzerne Fitzpatrick, Martins, Tedisco and Walzick among the negative votes.

Sponsor Senator Comrie said the measure is intended to give consumers an understandable metric to compare water costs across jurisdictions and that the PSC would do the work of developing the formula. “This bill would direct [the PSC] to develop a formula for the calculation of a residential water cost index and publish a report,” Comrie said on the floor, emphasizing the bill is meant to illuminate costs rather than to usurp local authority.

Senator Martins raised jurisdictional and implementation concerns for municipalities, villages and water districts that do not fall under the PSC’s usual regulatory authority. “The Public Service Commission simply doesn't have the authority to manage and oversee municipal utilities,” Martins said, arguing many local districts are unprepared to supply the information or to enter a regulatory relationship with the PSC.

Comrie responded that the bill is intended to be “de minimis” in cost for municipalities because the PSC would conduct the work and that it would not strip local autonomy. Supporters said the index would help consumers and policymakers compare costs; critics said the Legislature should consult municipal water districts and villages before imposing reporting expectations.

The Secretary announced the final result as 52 Ayes and 5 Nays; the bill was recorded as passed and takes effect immediately, according to the reading on the floor.","The Senate passed Senate print 22-53 directing the Public Service Commission to develop and publish a residential water cost index; debate centered on whether the PSC has authority over municipal utilities and potential burdens on villages and water districts.",{"_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},6557236,"Senate unanimously approves bill to remove statute of limitations for human trafficking cases",403,4781000,5184000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3307980-fd5b6c49dfffc61b9c66af74dd5f4978&start=4781&end=5184","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3307980-fd5b6c49dfffc61b9c66af74dd5f4978/thumbnail_4781000.jpg","/articles/6557236/New-York/Senate-unanimously-approves-bill-to-remove-statute-of-limitations-for-human-trafficking-cases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557236-0a95cc7aebd2cafe3726bcba47c4afe1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771105155&Signature=ENQT4qKT7L9If-2W5geTzZOnMG~V2jP97kEKxZ2ICOCOT5mxj695QCqjAQD6AR6QpvlsUaWsmoyOgxE038V7EmCcz9LiFYYBdj1kp3FuMJBJCw7WtqbFb7bqLP2LF-GyQ632BLqBXs5su4uWaYLGgtYKNJAiTfi1jXpuPBavXZu8-myDCDxlrEeTzzcQvxXeEArUVFEOl8NzptcqiUqq3bILW4AEfnEzDhudbA9HwNK1mEiNyefo0I-WytsH4njcJUU-TLsTX73-VTA~Sk~5PFelGCmZ2wfUj9nbKdElh8GFtlgfcw7vBwsqiclRIKIuBFDih2s4eJhBrkPSHngS9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate on Thursday passed Senate print 1-16, a bill amending the Criminal Procedure Law to eliminate the criminal statute of limitations for human trafficking offenses and to extend the period during which survivors may file civil suits. The measure passed on a 57-0 vote and will take effect immediately.

The bill’s sponsor, Senator Cleary, said the measure responds to survivors’ needs and longer timelines for reporting and pursuing justice. “Upon election to the senate, I made it my mission to work to eradicate human trafficking,” Cleary said on the floor, arguing the change will help prosecutors and give survivors a path to civil remedies.

Senator Martins, who spoke in favor of the bill on the floor but criticized the legislative process, urged scrutiny of why similar language had been removed from the final executive budget this year and faulted the State Assembly’s committee process. “There is one group that is missing,” Martins said, calling the bill’s hold-up in the Assembly “an absolute disgrace.”

Sponsors and supporters said the bill aims both to increase the ability of district attorneys to prosecute trafficking cases and to expand civil remedies for survivors. The bill passed with the support of every senator voting, and the Secretary announced the result as “Ayes, 57.”

The measure amends the Criminal Procedure Law and takes effect immediately; supporters said it will allow prosecutors and civil plaintiffs more time to pursue cases of trafficking that often surface years after abuse and exploitation.

Senate staff said the bill has passed the Senate in prior sessions and has received repeated support there; sponsors urged the Assembly to move the companion measure to final enactment.","The New York State Senate passed Senate print 1-16, eliminating the criminal statute of limitations for human trafficking and extending survivors' civil filing window; vote was unanimous, 57-0.","actionData","errors"]
