S1381A

The New York State Senate passed S1381A, a bill to amend the Election Law, on a roll call vote of 61 ayes. The measure, sponsored by Senator Comrie, was supported by Sen. Borrello, who praised the bill's goal of simplifying Election Law provisions. Borrello noted that the bill calls for bill titles to be limited to 15 words, though he pointed out that the Senate chamber itself does not always adhere to this standard, with several titles on the active list exceeding that length. Despite this observation about the chamber's inconsistency, Borrello characterized the bill as important and voted in favor. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
