The New York State Assembly on March 17, 2025, in the Assembly Chambers in Albany adopted several bills on the consent calendar and approved two legislative resolutions declaring awareness dates, taking the measures by voice and recorded votes during a brief floor session.
Members moved quickly through housekeeping and the main calendar after the speaker and clerk confirmed a quorum.
