Votes at a glance: Assembly advances and passes dozens of bills on consent calendar
Summary
On a mostly unanimous consent calendar, the Assembly advanced and passed a large block of bills on varied topics — banking, workers' compensation, environmental conservation, education, corrections, public health and more — with several items laid aside for later consideration.
The Assembly cleared a broad consent calendar, advancing and passing dozens of bills across a wide range of subjects with many votes taken by voice or roll call. Items addressed included amendments to the banking law, workers' compensation, environmental conservation, education statutes, corrections, the public health law, and multiple housekeeping and home‑rule measures.
Several items were explicitly laid aside for further consideration and some were advanced as senate bills before the house. The clerk read titles and the Assembly recorded counts for items requiring roll call. Examples recorded on the floor included the advancement and passage of measures amending the insurance law, workers' compensation law, corrections law, mental hygiene law, and numerous other statutes. The Assembly also adopted a set of requested resolutions by unanimous voice votes.
Because so many bills were handled on consent, the session featured relatively limited floor debate on individual items beyond the two subjects covered in separate articles (brownfield assistance and school bus financing). The calendar was advanced and the Assembly adjourned to reconvene on June 3 at 11:30 a.m.
