Sponsors and several members described the bill as expanding baseline protections for students in nonpublic schools and requiring written anti-bullying policies and procedures.

Senator Mayer, sponsor for the floor, said the bill requires nonpublic schools to develop and implement policies to prohibit harassment and bullying, promptly investigate complaints, take steps reasonably calculated to protect students and prevent retaliation for reporting. \"This bill extends many of the protections of DASA to nonpublic schools,\" the sponsor told the floor, invoking the memory of Jack Reed and the family advocacy that led to the measure.

Nut graf: Supporters framed the bill as creating parity between public and nonpublic school students for anti-bullying protections; senators described broad cooperation with nonpublic-school leaders during the measure’s drafting. The Senate roll-call recorded the result as Ayes 55, Nays 4; sponsors urged swift enactment.

Multiple senators spoke on the floor in favor, citing constituent cases and advocacy by families who lost children to bullying-related tragedies. Senator Holman Siegel credited parents Elizabeth and Bill Reed for their advocacy on behalf of their son Jack, whose death has been central to the law’s naming.

What passed: The bill obligates nonpublic schools to adopt anti-bullying policies, investigate complaints, and protect students from retaliation; it aligns procedures used in public schools under DASA with analogous nonpublic-school processes. Detailed procedural requirements and timelines will be implemented through education-department guidance if the law becomes final.

Why it matters: Extending anti-bullying safeguards to all students narrows a regulatory gap between public and nonpublic schools and may change compliance and reporting practices at nonpublic institutions across the state.

What’s next: With Senate passage the measure moves forward to further legislative steps and, if enacted, school-level policy changes and reporting will follow.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New York State Senate Session - 06/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Senate passed the \"Jack Reed Protect All Students Act,\" extending Dignity for All Students Act-like protections to nonpublic schools, requiring anti-bullying policies, investigations and protections against retaliation; recorded vote showed Ayes 55, Nays 4.","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},6201346,"Senate approves legislation to allow private repair for powered wheelchairs, sponsors say it will shorten wait times",348,2773000,3121000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197&start=2773&end=3121","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197/thumbnail_2773000.jpg","/articles/6201346/New-York/Senate-approves-legislation-to-allow-private-repair-for-powered-wheelchairs-sponsors-say-it-will-shorten-wait-times","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201346-4bddc44ff9599d95d9168734d7dcef9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770584635&Signature=ZnFhlKDPJr~aqCbp4feXXb7AipBBRgSEJxpg3v4zFilCGqgzqMv63RnQ1P3~W74qave9Uh9a9ENhwA5eoNwPW9ubqOHwwRujpfXJph2aPU8MqzJaV11Ge5r0x3yKnCx5kaH8zCtSkahI0JEd5RVc9WEm7aisfp9EdlmEVck1tIT7fsmMSy2UR08gd9k9p5Xr8LycgTWCbKVkPi64GjsYHvXgqhswyarHvYU1o9xveRGOmHFT90D4udjavgViFnOYXqwgm46zObtTN75itSK1Ajiu~nNT4txcrrHNPcEmAWqlQRQPz7s8NtQOTRSmo04fIiDW~0Z6x3wawuDtAomI0g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate passed legislation on June 11, 2025, to expand who may repair powered wheelchairs and some other durable medical equipment. Sponsors and supporters said the change will reduce repair turnaround times and allow more independent repair options for users.

Senator Rachel Fahey, the bill’s sponsor on the floor, told senators the measure responds to long repair delays that can leave wheelchair users housebound. Fahey recounted constituent cases and national survey data, saying a 2022 study showed \"62 percent of powered wheelchair users wait four or more weeks for repairs, and 93 percent... needed at least one repair in the last year.\" She argued the bill would expand options by letting independent repair providers service equipment without voiding warranties and by clarifying legal protections.

Nut graf: Backers framed the bill as a public-access and disability-accessibility measure that addresses long repair wait times and limited provider networks. The Senate passed the bill by voice/recorded vote (floor report recorded “Ayes 59”), and sponsors urged quick enactment to shorten repair backlogs and increase users’ independence.

What passed: The chamber passed the bill after floor debate highlighting repair delays and personal testimonies. Proponents described the bill as enabling independent technicians and repair providers to work on powered wheelchairs while preserving users’ options and addressing warranty concerns.

Why it matters: Supporters said many powered wheelchair users depend on timely repairs to maintain mobility and independence; delays can produce health harms and social isolation. The bill’s supporters argued it will expand choices for users and reduce repair times by allowing a wider pool of qualified repair providers.

What’s next: If signed, the law will require agencies to implement regulations and notify suppliers and providers. The floor record shows broad, bipartisan support for the measure.","The Senate passed a bill authorizing independent repairs of powered wheelchairs and related equipment, a measure supporters said will reduce long wait times for repairs and increase user independence; widespread floor support was recorded (vote: Ayes 59).",{"_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},6201351,"Senate passes \"Beauty Justice\" bill to restrict toxic chemicals in personal-care products",216,1421000,1637000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197&start=1421&end=1637","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197/thumbnail_1421000.jpg","/articles/6201351/New-York/Senate-passes-Beauty-Justice-bill-to-restrict-toxic-chemicals-in-personal-care-products","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201351-caeae32ec598c56917d3f14b03afe161/orig.mp4?Expires=1770584635&Signature=e-kHzeYp69I3OmY29YaNGoBG0usZqNy5XlWpmo5quVOtv2a7Sa6AuynSEul6ozHsJJI~QMMN-CKrJHQIf1J4avWKTuTJVfa2B8haEXqSU7KDevMhtnVRAckRUWIKJaUoQZfO1UBQYDN90y5R06hMGz9KgWXumz5~a8Ix-pLHvg0vqFj5zN4d-Lo4d5rs9hedQEFsOEt68~Inx9k4QrTXz35JbiwUzBy5LlhHhBdG4LZKV8FITf40joB0TBgJuXzSo2Qw-TuIJTto69OKG~ekfoXTRbrJUFzI6efmV1WN0OervnG1g5qE9x-XMFt-769z-9B5ucBv3sinAR0Y8a7alQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate passed legislation on June 11, 2025, commonly referred to on the floor as the \"Beauty Justice Act,\" a bill sponsored in the Senate by Senator Julia Salazar (introduced in this session as senate print 20 57 a) to limit toxic chemicals in personal care products and cosmetics.

Senator Julia Salazar and Senator Julia Webb (sponsor on the floor) framed the bill as a public-health effort to protect vulnerable groups from repeated exposure to toxic ingredients. \"Dangerous chemicals are in personal care products that we use every day,\" Webb said on the floor, citing formaldehyde, parabens and PFAS among chemicals she said are linked to cancer and hormone disruption. She described the bill as establishing a list of restricted substances to reduce exposure and address environmental-health equity.

Nut graf: Backers said the bill would require New York state to create and maintain a list of chemicals restricted in personal-care and cosmetics, citing known health risks and disproportionate exposure in some communities. Opponents registered recorded votes against the bill on policy and regulatory grounds; the Senate announced the final roll-call as Ayes 53, Nays 6.

On the floor, Webb invoked public-health concerns and equity, arguing the bill would protect pregnant people and communities of color who face disproportionate exposures. Senator Krueger echoed support and urged colleagues to back the measure. The transcript shows the Senate recorded a roll-call vote late in the session with 53 senators voting in the affirmative and six voting in the negative; the negative votes the clerk named on the floor included Senators Ashby, Barella, Chan, O'Mara, Ort and White.

What passed: The Senate adopted the bill, which (per the floor caption) would enact changes in the Environmental Conservation Law (the bill caption read as an enactment of the Environmental Conservation Law). The statute and implementing regulations will define the list of restricted substances, the timeline for regulation and enforcement mechanisms; those details will be set by the implementing agency after the bill becomes law.

Why it matters: The bill aims to reduce widespread daily exposures to substances cited on the floor as linked to cancer, reproductive and developmental harms. Supporters called it a public-health and environmental-equity measure; opponents argued regulatory reach and economic impact concerns.

What’s next: With Senate passage the bill moves to the Assembly (if not already passed there) and then to the governor’s desk for signature or veto. Implementing rules and the agency-level list of restricted substances would be the next steps if the bill becomes law.","The New York State Senate passed legislation sponsored by Senator Julia Salazar and Senator Liz Krueger (floor remarks by Senator Web b) to require a state list of restricted chemicals in personal care and cosmetics and tasks regulators with limiting products containing known harmful substances; vote was 53-6.",{"_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},6201356,"Senate confirms four new state parole commissioners after roll-call vote",272,237000,509000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197&start=237&end=509","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3794741-b3d6ddd092a0a672021628a1875af197/thumbnail_237000.jpg","/articles/6201356/New-York/Senate-confirms-four-new-state-parole-commissioners-after-roll-call-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6201356-d5aac8ca2d04db1dac95ba4d5d93af17/orig.mp4?Expires=1770584635&Signature=RtQ0PosacD7~pf83ErhanhKh0oGkTy4AZqqK~X9FUE-yZZLH5vhLXAbfG9wJKFZdydLGi9xM9SSWv3wsW8tfGfPPLbqZvl94eU9wBbNGnTgKKwOBJ6ZZAMMD9-0lq-tUmoNewpdJbd1EGbCyQxZAQ8dU8WJjLr~kHuJ0b82gYnURZVosdmYyeQN71Pks3BGqZZAkOMsRFc6~Xjw44Zn1luDOYLFXEMV4Lo7Oi0KqIRE5FHoucOkE6d-13oSl4CvCkruFQPDrA1MkLGV2zF5QX4KfpOF1twy9BKRElyq7Ce~8QB5jRCbcTJ-oe8te940CzWeRVvVpC6HUzNmEyfb30Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New York State Senate voted to confirm four nominees to the New York State Board of Parole on June 11, 2025, approving their appointments by roll call after floor remarks in support.

The confirmations came as part of the floor’s routine consideration of nominations. Senator Krueger, speaking for colleagues who had reviewed the candidates in committee hearings, urged senators to approve the nominees and described the role as “extremely demanding,” praising the appointees’ qualifications and public-service commitments. \"So today we are adding 4 representatives to be commissioners on our state board of parole,\" Krueger said on the floor and noted she knew two of the nominees personally and could “speak strongly on their behalf.”

Nut graf: The four nominees—named and reported in committee—were placed before the full Senate after committee review. The Senate recorded a roll-call vote on the confirmations; the measure carried but with a substantial number of recorded negative votes from the minority. Supporters said the confirmations fill key, difficult roles responsible for individualized parole decisions; opponents registered objections on policy and other grounds during the roll call.

On the floor, Krueger framed the appointments as filling difficult public roles: \"These are competent and responsible people who bring their own skill sets and history to this job,\" she said. After debate the roll call showed the confirmations passed by a recorded vote; the Senate announced “Ayes 37, Nays 18.” The transcript lists the senators who voted in the negative (transcript lines announcing the vote named members recorded as voting no).

What passed: The nominations were confirmed by the Senate as a group. The chamber’s public record shows the roll-call tally and the full list of negative votes. No additional statutory changes or policy direction for the Board of Parole were attached to the confirmation vote on the floor.

Why it matters: Parole commissioners decide whether incarcerated people are released to supervision; those decisions are consequential for public safety, victims’ families and for people who seek supervised release after incarceration. Filling vacancies or adding confirmed commissioners ensures the board can maintain quorum and manage its docket.

What’s next: The appointees were confirmed and may assume duties as provided by statute and executive direction for the Board of Parole. Further oversight or policy changes for the board were not adopted in this vote.","The New York State Senate confirmed four nominees to the State Board of Parol e in a roll-call vote after floor statements praising their qualifications. The nominations drew a recorded minority opposition.","actionData","errors"]
