Assembly advances and passes multiple consent-calendar measures on Feb. 26
Summary
The Assembly processed its consent calendar, recording recorded votes on numerous items (including Rules Report 88/Senate bill) and laying aside several bills for later consideration; tallies announced included several unanimous or near-unanimous 'Ayes' counts.
The New York State Assembly on Feb. 26 moved through its consent calendar, reading a sequence of bills and recording votes on measures reported by the clerk.
The clerk read Rules Report 88 (Senate bill 8777) to amend the Economic Development Law; the clerk recorded the vote as Ayes 128, Noes 0 and announced the bill passed and will take effect immediately. Additional consent items were read and recorded, with announced tallies including Ayes 130 (one item), Ayes 132 (another), Ayes 134 and Ayes 136 on discrete entries as the clerk proceeded through the calendar. Several bills were laid aside to be taken up later, as indicated by the clerk’s announcements.
Where the clerk read the last section and announced immediate effect or a specified future effective date, the Assembly recorded the vote and moved the bill as appropriate; where items were advanced from the Senate or described as 'laid aside,' no final vote was recorded in this proceeding. The Assembly did not debate these consent items on the floor during this session.
Summary of formal actions recorded in the transcript: Rules Report 88 (Senate bill 8777) — recorded Ayes 128, Noes 0; other consent entries had announced tallies (Ayes 130, 132, 134, 136) recorded by the clerk as noted on the floor. Several additional bills were laid aside for later consideration.
