Assembly adopts calendar resolutions and a municipal‑law change on gaming; schedule announced
Summary
On Jan. 28 the Assembly adopted calendar resolutions marking Data Privacy Week and Stalking Awareness Month and passed a municipal‑law bill addressing electronic gaming devices with an eye to tribal‑compact considerations (Ayes 133, Nays 0). Leaders announced immediate majority conference and adjournment schedules.
ALBANY, N.Y. — During the Jan. 28 floor session the Assembly adopted several light agenda items and a municipal law change. The clerk read resolutions asking the governor to proclaim January 2026 as Data Privacy Week and Stalking Awareness Month; both measures were adopted by voice vote.
Later, the Assembly passed a chapter amendment to the General Municipal Law (Rules Report 61) after members raised concerns about preserving tribal‑compact protections for the Seneca Nation. Mister Sempulinski asked for enforcement that would avoid conflict with existing compact terms; the bill passed on a recorded vote, Ayes 133, Noes 0.
After the votes, members announced a majority conference immediately following adjournment; the House stood adjourned with future reconvening dates announced by the Speaker.
Why it matters: The resolutions are ceremonial but the municipal‑law change prompted concerns about tribal‑compact discretion and the interplay between state regulation and ongoing compact negotiations.
What’s next: The municipal law measure will proceed in the enactment process; members flagged the need to protect tribal compact inviolability during implementation and any rulemaking.
