On the floor: several unanimous consent items and resolutions adopted

Beyond the longer debates on the budget extender and the NYSERDA rebate bill, the Assembly took up a number of routine items on the a-calendar and consent pages.

Resolutions adopted by voice vote included proclamations honoring School Librarian Day, Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, Crime Victims' Rights Week, Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, Arab American Heritage Month, Pakistan Independence Day observance, Spina Bifida Awareness Month and other commemorations.

Consent-calendar bills were read (for example, an amendment to the Labor Law and an act directing the commissioner of agriculture to study specified topics), and the clerk recorded votes for several of those measures where required. Several bills were passed on the consent calendar (recorded tallies included multiple 'Ayes 137 / 137' style tallies or unanimous voice votes, as appropriate to the item).
