ALBANY — The New York State Senate on Monday, Feb. 10, 2025, passed a slate of bills including measures affecting public health, real property, state finance, consumer protection (general business law), corrections, criminal procedure, insurance and multiple education provisions. Votes followed routine readings, roll calls and short floor remarks.
Senators discharged a number of Assembly bills from the Committee on Rules and placed them on the third‑reading calendar before the chamber took the roll and voted. The chamber adopted the resolution calendar and then proceeded through calendar items, reading the final section of each bill and calling the roll prior to announcing results.

Floor remarks and procedure
Senator May rose to offer a floor explanation in support of a business/consumer protection‑related measure and said in part: “Consumer protection policy at the state level is becoming even more important now that the federal government is abdicating its role to protect consumers by gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and now today, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.” She said she looked forward to advancing the work and recorded an affirmative vote.
Several senators moved to discharge specified Assembly bills from the Committee on Rules so they could be placed on the calendar for third reading; the Clerk later noted “So ordered,” and the chamber proceeded to consider the calendar items.
The Senate completed the reading of the day's calendar and on motion adjourned until Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025, at 11 a.m.
