The New York State Senate on Monday took up a supplemental calendar and passed a series of measures reported by the Rules Committee that will amend multiple state laws.
The Secretary read the Rules Committee report listing bills presented by senators including bills to amend the Social Services Law, the Public Health Law, the Education Law and the Executive Law. The chamber moved to accept the report and then proceeded to read, vote and pass the listed measures.
Key floor actions recorded in the session:
