An act to amend the Election Law — 2024-05-29 · Calendar #1250

NYS Legislature ↗ · OpenLeg API ↗

The New York State Senate passed legislation to amend the Election Law on a 41-19 vote, with 19 Republicans voting in opposition. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Gianaris and designated as Calendar Number 1250, Senate Print 8832, advanced despite concerns raised by opponents about election integrity. Sen. Borrello, voting against the measure, argued the bill would compromise election procedures by allowing what he characterized as inferior work to replace existing safeguards. He invoked the business principle of "garbage in, garbage out" to contend that the legislation would undermine both the integrity of elections and public confidence in the electoral process. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage.

Passed Senate Ayes: 41 · Nays: 19
