At-a-glance: key Assembly floor votes and actions from the session

The Assembly convened for a floor session that included ceremonial introductions, multiple resolutions and a series of votes on bills across topic areas.

Among the measures adopted without extended debate were A.6639-a (parks, recreation and historic preservation; passed Ayes 135–0), A.8047-b (Court of Claims Act amendment; passed Ayes 137–0), and several consent items including an education law amendment (A.40384-b; passed Ayes 138–0). Several other bills were read and either laid aside or advanced as noted on the floor.

Contested or debated items of the day included A.3126-b (tenant-notification requirement; passed 95–45), A.3318 (arbitration-transparency reporting; passed 91–49), A.2222-a (clarifying nondiscretionary compensation as wages; passed 132–8), and A.10102 (limits on HOA bans for low-impact landscaping; passed 94–46). The session concluded with resolutions adopted together and an adjournment to reconvene Tuesday, March 31.

The clerk recorded each bill’s vote on the floor and the sponsors and members offered explanations and questions during the readings; implementation dates and technical requirements vary by bill and appear in the floor statements (for example, some acts take effect immediately, one takes effect on the ninetieth day, and one on the sixtieth day).
