This page shows bills that received a floor vote in the NYS Senate, 2023–2026. Each row is one floor vote — a bill can appear more than once if it was voted on in different years. “Passed Senate” means the bill passed this chamber only — Assembly passage and the Governor’s signature are separate steps shown in the Status column where available. Bill titles and sponsors are sourced from the Open Legislation API; titles marked AI were extracted from floor transcripts and may differ slightly from the official title. Note: API data (titles, sponsors, law sections, and status) is only available for 2025–2026 — older rows will show limited or no metadata.
