Keep Police Radio Public Act

The Assembly debated A03516, the "Keep Police Radio Public Act," sponsored by Assemblywoman Reyes, which would require law enforcement agencies using encrypted radio communications to provide realtime access to nonsensitive communications to credentialed journalists and emergency services organizations. The bill would establish a credentialing process through the Department of State to determine which journalists qualify for access. Supporters argued the measure ensures public transparency and allows journalists to warn citizens during emergencies, citing the 2022 Buffalo mass shooting where encrypted radios prevented real-time reporting. Opponents raised significant concerns about officer safety, arguing that realtime access without delay could alert criminals to police movements and compromise investigations. Critics also warned that unconfirmed emergency information broadcast in realtime could create public panic and dangerous crowds at incident scenes, potentially hindering first responders. Questions were raised about implementation mechanisms, equipment costs for municipalities, and how law enforcement would determine what constitutes sensitive information exempt from disclosure. The debate highlighted tensions between press freedom and public safety concerns.

Utility Billing — Estimated Billing Restrictions

The New York State Assembly passed legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Jacobson on June 5 to restrict utility companies' use of estimated billing and require actual meter readings. The bill was prompted by billing problems at Central Hudson that affected Hudson Valley constituents. Jacobson argued that estimated billing prevents customers from accurately comparing monthly usage and that penalties are necessary to deter utilities from using estimates. The bill provides that customers receive free service if they receive a second consecutive estimated bill, creating an incentive for utilities to obtain actual readings. Assemblyman Palmesano raised concerns that the Public Service Commission already has regulatory authority over estimated billing, that Central Hudson's estimated billing rate is only 0.07 percent, and that the bill lacks exemptions for health and safety issues and equipment failure. He also argued the real issue driving constituent complaints is rising utility costs caused by green energy mandates, not estimated billing. Assemblyman Eachus countered that existing PSC rules have been ineffective for decades and that Central Hudson's billing problems caused thousands in customer losses. The bill passed on a party-line vote, with the Majority Conference voting in favor and the Minority Conference voting in opposition.

Chapter Amendment relating to utility billing requirements — requiring utilities to send bills within three months, provide 13 months of prior usage data, and apply safeguards to small businesses

The Assembly passed a major utility reform bill (A4055/S4234) requiring utilities to send bills within three months of the billing date, provide customers 13 months of prior usage data for comparison, and extend these protections to small businesses. The Chapter Amendment represents a compromise from the original bill, which sought a two-month deadline and two years of historical data. Sponsor Asm. Jacobson cited widespread billing failures in the Hudson Valley and Rochester, where customers waited 6-18 months or longer for bills, sometimes receiving thousands of dollars in unexpected charges. Multiple members from affected districts testified to constituent hardship. Opponents argued the bill would shift costs to other ratepayers rather than utilities absorbing losses, and questioned whether penalties would undermine utility investment in infrastructure upgrades. The bill passed with support from members representing districts that experienced the billing crisis.

A06843 / S01684 PASSED 2023-06-20

Relating to utility billing timelines and customer bill comparisons

The Assembly passed legislation requiring utilities to issue customer bills within two months of service provision and provide two years of historical billing data in both graphic and written form. Sponsor Asm. Jacobson argued the measure addresses documented billing delays, particularly from one utility that withheld bills for up to six months during a system upgrade, leaving customers with shock bills exceeding $5,000. Opponents including Asm. Palmesano and Asm. Goodell contended the bill would shift costs to ratepayers, lacks a means test for high-income customers, and inappropriately intrudes on Public Service Commission authority. Asm. Beephan supported the bill citing constituent hardship from prolonged billing delays in his district. The bill passed with support from the Democratic majority.

An act to amend the Education Law, in relation to establishing Diwali as a school holiday in certain public schools

The New York State Assembly passed landmark legislation establishing Diwali as a school holiday in New York City public schools, marking another historic moment for cultural recognition in the state. Assembly Bill A07769, sponsored by Asm. Rajkumar, the first Indian-American woman elected to New York State office, passed with overwhelming support. The bill recognizes the Festival of Lights celebrated by over 200,000 school-aged children in New York City schools, including Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, and other South Asian and Indo-Caribbean communities. Asm. Rajkumar delivered an emotional speech about her immigrant parents and the significance of the moment, while numerous members spoke about the importance of recognizing the growing South Asian population and eliminating the choice families face between celebrating and attending school. The passage of both the Lunar New Year and Diwali holiday bills on the same night was celebrated as a historic moment for diversity and inclusion in New York State.

Used car dealer recall requirements

The Assembly passed legislation requiring used car dealers to identify and initiate repairs for vehicles with active manufacturer recalls, sponsored by Assemblywoman Rajkumar. The bill aims to protect consumers from unsafe vehicles by requiring dealers to check vehicle identification numbers against federal recall databases and initiate the repair process, with manufacturers bearing repair costs. Supporters cited safety concerns, noting 109 deaths and 200 injuries from faulty ignition switches in recalled vehicles. Critics raised concerns about practical implementation, arguing small dealers with limited staff would struggle to manage multiple recalls and questioning whether the bill's language adequately reflects the sponsor's intent that dealers need only initiate—not complete—repairs. Opponents also highlighted inconsistencies in the bill's scope, noting that auction houses are exempt from dealer requirements while salvage yards would be subject to them. The bill takes effect 90 days after passage.
