Summary
The committee advanced several bills with little extended debate, reporting some to the floor and others to Senate Finance; details include bill numbers, sponsors and committee actions. Members registered limited recorded negative votes or 'AWR' notations for some items.
The Senate Committee on Housing, Construction and Community Development concluded its May 12 meeting by reporting a slate of bills to either the Senate floor or the Senate Finance Committee. The following summarizes each bill introduced and the committee's recorded action in the transcript.
- S.1398 ("block by block homeownership program"): Introduced as S 13 98, sponsor listed in transcript as "Ryan S." Committee moved to report to Finance; motion recorded as from Senator Jackson with second from Senator Cleary. Outcome: bill reported to Senate Finance Committee (no detailed roll-call in transcript).
- S.3758 (amendments to the General Business Law relating to senior citizens and disabled persons): Introduced by Senator Cleare (transcript spelling). Committee moved to report to the floor; motion from Senator Jackson, second from Senator Brisport; reported to the floor with recorded opposition from Senator Walzick.
- A.5675 / Senate companion (Schenectady summary proceeding requirement): Introduced as As 56 75 (senate sponsor Tabisco). Committee reported the bill to the floor; sponsor noted as carried previously and the Senate had passed it last year.
- S.6263 (require out-of-state affordable housing owners to maintain escrow accounts): Introduced as S 62 63, sponsored by Grifo in transcript. Committee reported the bill to the floor; motion seconded by Senator Walzick.
- S.061975 (public housing law senior housing task force): Introduced with sponsor Clear as "06/1975" in the transcript; committee moved and reported the bill to the floor.

Committee minutes show motions, seconds and recorded notations including 'AWR' (answers with reservation) for several items; where the transcript did not include a full roll-call tally or where sponsorship text was garbled, the summary lists the sponsor or bill text as recorded in the transcript and marks where clerk confirmation is needed.
