BILL NUMBER:S1096 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the legislative law, in relation to the continuity of legislative sessions PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This legislation will provide for continuity of legislative sessions by allowing bills that have been acted upon to retain their place on the calendar until acted upon by the house or until the end of the two-year legislative session.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1096 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 8, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. AVELLA -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Investigations and Govern- ment Operations AN ACT to amend the legislative law, in relation to the continuity of legislative sessions THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that while New York and most other states operate on two-year legislative calendars, only the legislature of the state of New York interrupts procedural continuity of legislation during the two-year session. This practice commonly requires the reconsideration and readoption of hundreds of bills during the second year which were previously considered and adopted during the first year. The legislature determines that this practice is usually unnecessary and expends time and taxpayer money which could be better spent addressing other important legislative busi- ness. The legislature therefore declares its intent to preserve the procedural continuity of all bills within the biennial legislative session. S 2. The legislative law is amended by adding a new section 42-a to read as follows: S 42-A. CONTINUITY OF LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS. 1. UPON PASSAGE OF A BILL BY ONE HOUSE OF THE LEGISLATURE, SUCH BILL SHALL AUTOMATICALLY BE SENT TO THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE IN THE OTHER HOUSE FOR ACTION ON SUCH BILL, WHERE THAT HOUSE MAY ACT ON THE BILL AT ANY TIME DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE BIENNIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION. 2. NO BILL REPORTED BY A STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE SENATE OR ASSEMBLY SHALL BE REFERRED BACK TO THAT COMMITTEE. 3. EVERY BILL WHICH SHALL HAVE REACHED THE ORDER OF THIRD READING BUT WHICH SHALL NOT HAVE BEEN ACTED ON BY THE HOUSE BEFORE THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR OF THE TWO-YEAR LEGISLATIVE SESSION SHALL MAINTAIN ITS PLACE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
