Legislative Report 06-13-25

PLEASE NOTE:

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 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. “Spectrum” will tell you whether this was sponsored by one or both parties. “Status” will tell when it was introduced. “Action” will tell you the most recent action that has occurred on the proposal. “Pending” will tell you which committee it is currently in. “Sponsored” will tell you which legislators and their party affiliations sponsored the bill. “Summary” will give you a quick overview or title of the proposed bill. “History” will tell you where it has been since it was introduced. “Same As/Similar As” will show the legislative companion bill number, date of introduction and action in the companion NYS legislature.

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.

N.B.: The NYS Legislature is being held over in Session. The Assembly until at least 6/18 and the Senate until at least 6/13.

PLEASE NOTE:

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 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. “Spectrum” will tell you whether this was sponsored by one or both parties. “Status” will tell when it was introduced. “Action” will tell you the most recent action that has occurred on the proposal. “Pending” will tell you which committee it is currently in. “Sponsored” will tell you which legislators and their party affiliations sponsored the bill. “Summary” will give you a quick overview or title of the proposed bill. “History” will tell you where it has been since it was introduced. “Same As/Similar As” will show the legislative companion bill number, date of introduction and action in the companion NYS legislature.

 

Side note: Sources have indicated that S4277 (banning .50 Cal firearms) without much discussion cleared the senate committee and is on to the State Senate for a vote.

Also Hochul’s 10 day wait for delivery of a firearm after approval through NICS, for delivery also appears to have very little opposition and is moving quickly through chambers.

PLEASE NOTE:

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 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. “Spectrum” will tell you whether this was sponsored by one or both parties. “Status” will tell when it was introduced. “Action” will tell you the most recent action that has occurred on the proposal. “Pending” will tell you which committee it is currently in. “Sponsored” will tell you which legislators and their party affiliations sponsored the bill. “Summary” will give you a quick overview or title of the proposed bill. “History” will tell you where it has been since it was introduced. “Same As/Similar As” will show the legislative companion bill number, date of introduction and action in the companion NYS legislature.

“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.” – Letter from Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 5th June, 1824.

This covers New York State and the US Congress from March 26, 2025 thru April 9, 2025.
