Legislative Report 09-07-26
“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.

None of the Glock legal information is included as it was passed in the “Budget”. In essence, Glocks and any legal firearm that is easily converted to automatic firing capability, is banned effective June 1, 2027. That is the sale and distribution is illegal. Changing the cruciform bar to automatic fire is what makes it illegal in every sense. It may be sold to a family member with a permit as issued by New York State, but otherwise it must be sold to a dealer who will sell it out of state.
If Glock comes out with a new generation of pistols and they do not meet the requirements of exchanging bars, they may be legal to own and sell in New York State

Legislative Report 05-28-26
PLEASE NOTE:
“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 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.
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. Clicking on “Text” gives you the actual wording of the bill. Clicking on “Discuss” gives you any discussion on the bill.

Legislative Report 04-23-26
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.
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. Clicking on “Text” gives you the actual wording of the bill. Clicking on “Discuss” gives you any discussion on the bill.
