Senate clears a package of bills on March 23, 2026: insurance, public health and more
Summary
On March 23, 2026, the Senate read and passed a sequence of calendar items covering insurance-law changes, public health provisions, public authorities, education law amendments, navigation law and more; roll-call tallies were announced for each item.
The New York State Senate considered a sequence of calendar items on March 23, 2026 and recorded roll-call votes on multiple measures, many of which passed.
Clerk and secretary announcements show passage of measures including (examples drawn from the clerk’s reading): Senate print 4-38a (insurance law amendments), 36-89 (real property action proceedings law amendments), 67-18b (administrative code amendments for the City of New York), 77-31 (insurance law), 5067a (education law amendments), 63-65 (corrections law), and others listed during the calendar reading. The secretary repeatedly announced the roll-call tallies and recorded several 'nays' where noted, but the majority of these items were recorded as passed on the calendar.
Senator Webb offered an explanation of his vote on an insurance-related measure, emphasizing the bill’s effect to ensure a birthing parent can accompany a newborn transferred for specialized care; he said the measure would prevent separation of parent and infant when a transfer is necessary. Several roll calls listed aye and nay tallies; the secretary’s announcements recorded final results and multiple items were declared passed.
The session concluded with the controversial calendar item discussed (calendar 563) and a motion to adjourn until Wednesday, March 25 at 3 p.m.
