Votes at a glance: Assembly approves multiple bills on consent including child care labeling change
Summary
On the May 12 Assembly floor, members took up a multi-item consent calendar and approved a series of bills and resolutions with recorded unanimous or near-unanimous tallies; several measures were laid aside. The session included recorded votes and sponsor explanations for a small number of items.
The New York State Assembly on May 12 took up a main calendar and multiple consent-calendar items, approving a sequence of bills and resolutions with recorded votes and laying aside several others for later consideration.
Several measures were passed on the consent calendar with little floor debate. Notable outcomes recorded on the floor include: - Assembly Bill 3361 (calendar 126, Rep. Vannell): "An act creating a temporary state commission to study" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 138, Noes 0). - Assembly Bill 4003 (calendar 128, Miss Clark): "An act to amend the Social Services Law" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 139, Noes 0). Sponsor explanation recorded on the floor; see separate coverage. - Assembly Bill 709902 (calendar 133, Miss Heinemann): "Direct the City of New York to conduct a study and analysis of stormwater and groundwater issues" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 140, Noes 0). - Assembly Bill 8113 (calendar 134): amendment to chapter 462 of the laws of 2015 — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 140, Noes 0). - Assembly Bill 8148 (calendar 136): authorizing certain health care professionals — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 141, Noes 0). - Assembly Bill 34048 (calendar 39, Mr. Levine): amendment to the Public Health Law — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 141, Noes 0).
Several bills were explicitly "laid aside" on the floor and not acted upon in this session, including Assembly Bills 6068 (calendar 121, Miss Rosenthal), 1029 (calendar 123), 1892 (calendar 125, Miss Pollan), 5134 (calendar 129, Miss Salaj), and 6766 (calendar 130, Mr. Vannell). In some cases the clerk announced that a senate bill was advanced or laid aside for future action.
The session also adopted multiple ceremonial resolutions (for example, Police Week and proclamations for awareness months) following sponsor remarks; those resolutions carried without recorded opposition.
Because many items were handled on consent with no recorded debate, the transcript shows sponsor names and basic bill descriptions but often does not record amendment texts, fiscal notes, implementing agency actions, or funding sources on the floor. Where a sponsor offered an explanation (for example, Assembly Bill 4003 and the childcare explanation by Miss Clark), the sponsor's remarks are noted in the record.
The house adjourned and reconvened the following day.
