Senate moves dozens of bills across calendars; several measures passed after roll calls

The Senate took up the daily calendar and the clerk read a string of measures across the supplemental and regular calendars, including appropriations and statutory amendments. Several bills were called for final section reading, roll call and recorded as passed.

Examples from the day's record include:
- Assembly 1388-a (calendar 01/2001), an amendment to environmental conservation law, passed with a roll call recorded as: Yeas 45, Nays 13; the transcript lists a set of senators recorded in the negative on the official roll call.
- Senate print 10166 (calendar related to appropriations by Senator Serrano) appeared with a message of necessity; the measure advanced and was recorded on the supplemental/controversial calendar and later passed (roll-call tallies appear in the day's entries).
- Multiple additional bills addressing executive law, education law, public authorities law and criminal procedure were read and passed on the calendar with associated roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.

Why it matters: The passage of these bills moves statutory and appropriation changes through the legislative process toward enactment; recorded roll-call tallies show which senators opposed or supported measures on the record.

What's next: Passed measures will proceed as required by law toward enactment (effective dates vary by bill; some measures will take effect immediately or on specified future dates as entered in the legislative text).
