A6686

Assembly Bill 6686, an act to amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law, was laid aside by the New York State Senate after procedural maneuvering on the floor. The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Magnarelli, was called for a roll call vote but Sen. Lanza moved to lay it aside. After Sen. Gianaris objected and the bill was restored, a second roll call was initiated. However, before results could be announced, Sen. Lanza again moved to lay the bill aside, and the motion was granted by Acting President Persaud. The bill remains tabled.

The Senate passed Assembly Bill 6686, an act to amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law, on a roll call vote of 58-3. The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Magnarelli, was brought to the floor after a procedural clarification by Sen. Gianaris, who requested that Calendar 1691 be restored for immediate consideration while Calendar 1692 be laid aside. Senators Borrello, Palumbo, and Martinez voted in opposition. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
