Josefa Velasquez reports in Politico New York that if Republicans in Washington D.C. eliminate the Affordable Care Act, the New York legislature may return for a special session. ���If our worst fears come to happen, I believe at some point we’ll have to come back before the end of the year to deal with that,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said on Feb. 28. June 21 is the last day of the state legislature this year.
