Asm. Joe Angelino

Priorities are misplaced; 70 acres of native goldenrod fields in his area were clearcut for solar panels, which is a greater threat to pollinators than HOA restrictions.

Raised practical concerns about rural implementation, noting his county has only three designated interrogation locations for 905 square miles. Argued the requirement is cumbersome for field interrogations and cited unintended consequences including increased DSS involvement when officers cannot locate parents at home.

Argued the requirement is cumbersome and impractical in rural areas where designated interrogation facilities are scarce and law enforcement operates miles away with no cell service. Raised concerns about unintended consequences, including increased DSS involvement when officers cannot locate parents at home.

Questioned whether 100% viability is achievable and expressed concern that false sense of security could lead to complacency and unsafe storage practices. Argued the technology is not mature enough, citing New Jersey's 2002 mandate that was repealed and 2019 amendments. Warned that programming errors are common in electronics and the 18-month timeline is too aggressive. Criticized the bill as part of a pattern of demonizing firearms rather than focusing on criminals.

Questioned whether the bill addresses problems not already covered by PSC procedures, expressed concern about cumbersome written response requirements for simple complaints, and worried utilities might seek rate increases to cover administrative costs.

Argued the bill creates a de facto registry of firearm purchasers in violation of the Second Amendment and 1986 Firearms Privacy Act. Cited statements from Visa and Mastercard indicating they have paused implementation due to legal uncertainty and concerns about tracking individual purchases.

Expressed personal concerns about EV fire risks from lithium-ion batteries in attached garages, noting that solid-state battery technology is imminent and current infrastructure may become obsolete. Stated dealers discourage EV purchases due to service concerns and range anxiety.

Opposed the product liability provisions, arguing Glock pistols work as designed and are used responsibly by thousands of law enforcement officers and civilians. Contended that federal law already bans machine guns, that criminals—not manufacturers—are responsible for illegal conversions, and that design changes will simply lead to workarounds via 3D printing technology.

Opposed the product liability provisions in General Business Law, arguing Glock pistols work as designed and are used responsibly by thousands of law enforcement officers and civilians. Contended federal law already bans machine guns, and that manufacturers cannot be held responsible for criminal modification. Warned the bill will lead to endless litigation while criminals will find technological workarounds.

Opposed the product liability provisions, arguing the pistols work as designed and are used responsibly by thousands of law enforcement officers. Contended that criminals, not manufacturers, are responsible for illegal conversions, and that design changes would be circumvented by 3D printing technology.

Raised practical concerns about rural areas with poor cell service and the difficulty of obtaining interpreters quickly, noting that police officers often use bilingual employees or neutral third parties to take initial complaints.

Raised practical concerns about rural areas with poor cell service and situations where officers on patrol may lack immediate access to interpreters, arguing that one-size-fits-all legislation does not account for real-world policing conditions.

As a former police administrator, stated officers already exercise sensitivity toward children and that the bill's requirements are operationally difficult; noted the State Police Superintendent has no authority over local police departments and that accreditation standards already address safeguarding children of arrested parents.

Representing agricultural district, noted 3,000 farms lost in five years and generational farms closing; argued bill places another burden on farmers with thin profit margins and will drive more farms out of business, urging colleagues to stop trying to save the world on backs of New York farmers.

Stated that Pennsylvania's fracking has produced prosperity for farmers and reliable energy without the predicted catastrophes; argued New York cannot meet electricity demand with solar and wind alone and that banning CO2 fracking is another attempt to eliminate natural gas while importing it from neighboring states, harming the upstate economy.

Voted against the bill because a large corporation in his district needs natural gas for its process. The company cannot switch to all electricity due to power provider limitations and a micro-grid would be prohibitively expensive, potentially forcing the company to relocate.

Police officers will be caught in the middle, blamed either for not protecting victims without Orders of Protection or for escalating situations when Orders exist. The bill's messaging that Orders of Protection can escalate violence will trickle down and confuse law enforcement response.

Argued that while well-intentioned, the bill is impractical for real-world law enforcement situations, particularly in rural areas with poor cell service. Stated it would prevent victims from getting justice and perpetrators from being caught in a timely manner.

Objected that the bill does not include a minority party appointment, arguing the word 'community' in the title means the whole community should be included; shared personal experience with Black relatives as a police officer.

Cited a fatal accident where a cyclist breezed past a red light and was hit by a truck making a legal right turn. Argued cyclists already ignore traffic laws and the bill would decriminalize dangerous behavior rather than improve safety.

Raised liability concerns, noting that bicycles lack insurance and the Idaho Stop model may not work in densely populated areas like New York.

Agreed with Goodell that the recycling symbol alone is sufficient due to ubiquitous muscle memory, and that the required text wastes valuable space on mailers.

Raised concern about unfunded mandate.

Objected that the bill does not require consumers to follow through on purchases, forcing retailers to incur costs to restock items that customers may ultimately decline to buy.

Argued the bill demonizes landlords who provide a service, and that reporting to credit agencies is a last resort after communication. Stated a landlord told him this bill was the final straw causing him to divest from his property.

Expressed concern that ammunition purchase restrictions remain unchanged, negatively impacting his Amish constituents who cannot obtain photo ID and thus cannot legally purchase ammunition despite hunting and fishing traditions.

Raised concerns that the Amish community in his district cannot purchase ammunition without photo ID, as they do not get photographs taken for religious reasons, effectively making them unable to legally buy ammunition or receive it from others.

Criticized lack of amendments to ammunition purchase provisions affecting his Amish constituents who cannot obtain photo ID and therefore cannot legally purchase ammunition or receive it from others; also lamented absence of 25-year retirement equity for state law enforcement officers (park police, SUNY Campus Police, forest rangers) and lack of increased employment numbers for disabled and wounded veterans under Civil Service Law 55C.
