Votes at a glance: key bills and resolutions the Senate passed May 13, 2025

The New York State Senate on Tuesday considered and passed a broad set of bills spanning criminal‑justice changes, education statute updates, victims’ compensation, domestic‑violence measures, and other state policy items. Several measures were adopted by recorded roll call or voice vote; below are the items called on the calendar with the floor outcomes announced during the session.

• Calendar 01/1969 — Senate print 871 (Bailey): Passed; the clerk announced “Ayes, 57.”

• Calendar (count 182) — Senate print 1985 (Hartman): Passed; the roll‑call announced a recorded vote with 37 ayes and 20 nays as reported on the floor.

• Calendar (count 222) — Senate print 161 (Ramos): Passed (result announced on the floor; tally not specified in the readback excerpt).

• Calendar (count 254) — Senate print 156 (Salazar): Passed (result announced on the floor; tally not specified in the readback excerpt).

• Calendar (March) — Senate print 2280a (Webb): Passed; the clerk announced “Ayes, 57.” The bill implements a statewide lethality‑assessment tool for law‑enforcement responses to domestic‑violence calls, supporters said.

• Calendar 04/2006 — Senate print 2416 (Parker): Passed; the clerk announced “Ayes, 57.” Supporters described the bill as part of a domestic‑violence package, including provisions to protect victims’ ability to break certain contracts so abusers cannot track them through utilities or phone plans.

• Calendar 04/200? — Senate print 3236a (Cooney): Passed; the clerk announced “Ayes, 57.” (exact bill text read on the calendar.)

• Calendar 04/67 — Senate print 450 (Hoyman Siegel): Passed; floor announced the bill is passed after a roll call (nays and ayes were read on the floor).

• Calendar 04/79 — Senate print 879a (May): Passed; the clerk announced “Ayes, 57.” This measure was described on the floor as the Garden Protection Act allowing residents more latitude to create food or pollinator gardens on private property.

• Calendar 04/99 — Senate print 54 (Fernandez): Passed; floor announcement indicated passage.

• Victims and domestic‑violence measures (multiple calendar items): Several bills in a domestic‑violence and victims’ rights package were called and passed on the floor; sponsors described these as strengthening victim compensation, clarifying reimbursement ceilings for crime victims, and better equipping law enforcement with lethality assessments.

• Additional bills across subject areas (education, elder abuse, trusts, regulatory and local law changes): Numerous measures listed on the session calendar were read and then announced as passed; where the clerk reported specific totals, the session transcript shows frequent “Ayes, 57” outcomes followed by the clerk’s announcement that the bill is passed.

Votes and titles were taken from the Secretary’s reading of the calendar and roll calls announced on the Senate floor. Where the transcript read a bill title and the clerk then announced “Ayes, 57,” that tally is recorded here. Several roll‑calls announced on the floor included lists of members voting in the negative; where the transcript read a specific roll count, that reported tally is noted above. In other instances the floor announced that a bill “is passed” without printing the full tally in the excerpt of the transcript.

Several adopted items were ceremonial resolutions designating recognition weeks (for example, prevention week and period‑poverty awareness week) and honors (Women of Distinction). Resolutions of that type were adopted without extended policy debate.

The Senate completed its calendar and adjourned; the chamber will reconvene Wednesday, May 14 at 3 p.m. for further business.
