Asm. Tommy Schiavoni
District 1
Democrat
First elected 2025
Tommy Schiavoni represents AD-1, a D+10 district on the East End of Long Island (Suffolk County) that he first won in 2024 with 56.4% of the vote against Stephen F. Kiely, a 12.8-point margin; under a neutral environment, the district is modeled as Likely D, though it shifts to only Lean D under a favorable Republican environment, making it one of the more competitive Democratic-held seats in the chamber. The district is predominantly white (72.6%), highly educated (50.7% bachelor's degree or higher), and strongly owner-occupied (81.9%), with a median household income of $127,022 and a voter registration breakdown of 37.5% Democrat, 27.0% Republican, and 30.4% Independent. In his first session, Schiavoni sponsored 74 bills, with concentrations in Environmental Conservation (9 bills), Tax (8 bills), and Suffolk County-specific legislation (7 bills), reflecting the district's coastal and local-government character. No committee chairmanship data is listed in this brief.AI

A10129
PASSED
2026-03-09
An act to amend the Indian Law, in relation to the reinstatement of state recognition and acknowledgement of the Montaukett Indian Nation
The Assembly passed A10129, sponsored by Assemblymember Schiavoni, restoring New York State recognition of the Montaukett Indian Nation. This marks the eighth time the chamber has voted on the measure. Schiavoni explained that the Montauketts were stripped of state recognition in 1910 by a court decision that incorrectly ruled the tribe had disintegrated, despite 75 Montaukett Nation members being present in the courtroom. He argued that only Congress has authority to eliminate state recognition and that the legislative process is the proper avenue for reinstatement, consistent with how all other New York State tribes have been recognized. Over 1,000 Montauketts currently reside on Long Island.

A08807
PASSED
2025-06-13
An act to amend the Public Authorities Law, in relation to the Septic System Replacement Fund
The Assembly passed legislation expanding the Septic System Replacement Fund to facilitate reimbursement for septic and cesspool upgrades across New York State. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Kassay, the bill addresses widespread contamination from antiquated systems, particularly on Long Island where 70 percent of Suffolk County residents rely on conventional cesspools and septic systems that fail to filter nitrogen and other pollutants. Multiple members testified that the upgrades are critical for protecting groundwater and preventing harmful algal blooms in bays, harbors, and beaches. Assemblywoman Giglio noted replacement costs can reach $35,000 to $50,000 per property. Assemblyman Schiavoni emphasized that Long Island has no viable alternative drinking water source other than the aquifer beneath it, making the measure essential for coastal communities.
A08463
PASSED
2025-06-11
Francesco's Law — safe firearm storage requirements and data collection on unsafe storage incidents
The Assembly passed Francesco's Law (A08463), sponsored by Asm. Khaleel Anderson, which strengthens safe firearm storage requirements and mandates data collection on unsafe storage incidents. The bill clarifies existing law to ensure firearms not in immediate control are secured, directs the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to conduct public education campaigns, and requires DCJS to collect data on violations. The legislation was inspired by Francesco, a 17-year-old Long Island resident who died by suicide in 2021 using an unsecured family firearm after experiencing bullying. Supporters cited statistics showing suicides account for 36% of firearm deaths among children ages 10-19 and that 66% of unintentional fatal shootings involving children occur when firearms are handled by someone else. Asm. Lunsford noted that 80% of gun owners support safe storage laws. Opponents, including Asm. Lemondes, raised Second Amendment concerns and questioned whether the law could impede self-defense during home invasions. Asm. Gallahan advocated for education over legislation. Francesco's mother and godmother attended the session. The bill passed with strong support from the Majority Conference.

An act to amend the Indian Law, in relation to the reinstatement of state recognition and acknowledgement of the Montaukett Indian Nation
The Assembly passed legislation to restore state recognition of the Montaukett Indian Nation, reversing a 1910 court decision that stripped the tribe of its status. Sponsor Asm. Schiavoni argued that only Congress had authority to dissolve tribal recognition, not the courts, and that the original decision was unjust—made despite 75 Montaukett members present in the courtroom. The bill honors the work of predecessor Assemblyman Fred Thiele and seeks to correct historical wrongs against the Montaukett people of Long Island and across New York State.
