The Senate passed S8183, sponsored by Sen. Mannion, an act to amend Part Q of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2016, by a vote of 58-0 on a roll call. The bill addresses facility closure notification procedures. During floor debate, Sen. Martins expressed support for the measure but raised concerns about the notification process, advocating for simultaneous notification to individual senators when facilities in their districts are scheduled to close. While acknowledging existing notification requirements to the president pro tem and labor unions, Martins suggested the bill should be enhanced to ensure senators receive direct notice of facility closures in their districts. He voted in favor of the bill despite his reservations about the notification framework.
