Assembly to return to Albany for two days on June 20
Nick Reisman reports for New York State of Politics that New York Assembly lawmakers will return to Albany June 20 for two days of legislative work, a source familiar with the discussion said on June 13. Several bills were passed by the state Senate in the legislative session, but not voted on by the Assembly, such as a ban on releasing radioactive wastewater into the Hudson River. The Assembly could vote on these bills, and send them to the governor for a signature or a veto. The Assembly is also looking at finalizing a deal for a casino for Seneca Nation near Rochester. Another bill being considered would extend state subsidized health care coverage to New Yorkers without legal status living in the state. Read more about this story at New York State of Politics.
