The New York State Assembly cleared a broad consent calendar on March 22, passing multiple bills by unanimous recorded votes and adopting several ceremonial resolutions.
On the consent calendar the Assembly passed Assembly No. 329-b (calendar 309), an amendment to the mental hygiene law meant to encourage coordination of treatment for co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders; Miss Walsh explained her affirmative vote, saying the bill will help streamline coordinated treatment. The clerk recorded Ayes 140, Noes 0.
Assembly No. 1392 (calendar 310), directing the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to develop recommendations, was read and passed (Ayes 140, Noes 0). Several additional calendar items were read, some were passed on unanimous recorded votes and others were laid aside for further consideration; the clerk noted numerous "laid aside" entries for bills on later reading.
Separately, members recognized guests including Bob and Linda Allis, parents of Staff Sergeant Michael Allis, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor; Assembly members Tenousas and Riley spoke about his heroism and the community’s remembrance. A group of resolutions honoring local observances and awareness months (for water day, cleaning week, brain injury awareness month, and migraine awareness month) were also adopted by voice vote.
The Assembly adjourned and will reconvene Tuesday, March 24 at 2 p.m.
