S1200A

The New York State Senate voted to reconsider Senate Print 1200A, an act to amend the Public Service Law, on a 55-0 roll call vote. Sen. Gianaris moved for reconsideration, and the measure was restored to the Third Reading Calendar. Amendments to the bill were subsequently received and accepted.

The New York State Senate passed Senate Print 1200A, an amendment to the Public Service Law, by a vote of 56-1 on Calendar Number 215. The bill, sponsored by Senator Parker, advanced after the chamber rejected an appeal challenging the presiding officer's decision to rule an amendment out of order. Sen. Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick had proposed an amendment requiring the Public Service Commission to determine and publicize the costs of Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act mandates to individual families before voting on compliance measures. She argued the amendment was germane to the bill's provisions ensuring customer certainty about utility bills, contending that families struggling with inflation deserved transparency about how state mandates would affect their monthly electric bills. Acting President Persaud ruled the amendment nongermane under Senate Rule 6, Section 4B. When Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick appealed the ruling, senators voted 20-0 on a show of hands to sustain the chair's decision, allowing the bill to proceed without the amendment. Only Sen. Stec voted against final passage.
