“We in America do not have government by the majority – we have government by the majority who participate…. All
Tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” -Thomas Jefferson
While some of these bills do not appear to have direct link to Conservation, they are an integral part of conservation in Western and ultimately New York State e.g. Fire-arm regulations, wind turbines and wind farms, term limits, recall bills, and salaries of elected state officials and legislators as well as some statewide insurance requirements are just a few of the crossovers, we need to be aware of.
These bills are from legiscan.com. Here you can click on NY as home state or the US Congress and browse from day one of the current legislative session or search for a particular bill, from where you can read the bill, see who has sponsored the bill and where it currently stands in committees.
Several proposed bills will appear more than once or seem to. This is because they have moved through several different committees in their corresponding chamber or have been amended or a version has been introduced in the other NYS Assembly or Senate Chamber.
Clicking on the bill number will take you to the bill. Clicking on “Detail” will take to the bill, its summary, whose sponsoring it, the current area it is in, and whether it is being monitored. It will also list all of the committees it has been in and when. Clicking on “Text” gives you the actual wording of the bill. Clicking on “Discuss” gives you any discussion on the bill.
