A QUORUM BEING PRESENT, THE CLERK WILL READ THE

JOURNAL OF TUESDAY, APRIL 24TH.

MR. MORELLE.

MR. MORELLE: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I MOVE

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

TO DISPENSE WITH THE FURTHER READING OF THE JOURNAL OF TUESDAY, APRIL

24TH, AND ASK THAT THE SAME STAND APPROVED.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WITHOUT OBJECTION, SO

ORDERED.

MR. MORELLE.

MR. MORELLE: YES. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER,

COLLEAGUES. IN JUST A -- IN JUST A MINUTE, I WILL GIVE OUR SCHEDULE FOR

THE DAY. BUT BEFORE I DO THAT, I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT ON THIS DAY IN 1901,

NEW YORK GOVERNOR BENJAMIN O'DELL, JR. SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL

REQUIRING OWNERS OF MOTOR VEHICLES TO REGISTER WITH THE STATE. THE LAW

ALSO MANDATED THAT EVERY AUTOMOBILE OR MOTORCYCLE BEAR, QUOTE,

UNQUOTE, "THE SEPARATE INITIALS OF THE OWNER'S NAME PLACED UPON THE

BACK THEREOF IN A CONSPICUOUS PLACE." THUS, NEW YORK STATE BECAME

THE FIRST STATE IN THE NATION TO REQUIRE LICENSE PLATES. NOW, TO GET YOUR

INITIALS ON YOUR LICENSE PLATE, YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA MONEY. BUT THAT'S

HOW IT WAS IN THOSE DAYS.

AND UNDER THE HEADING OF "DID YOU KNOW," DID YOU

KNOW THAT SUFFRAGETTE ELIZABETH CADY STANTON WAS BORN IN JOHNSTOWN,

NEW YORK? JOHNSTOWN IS LOCATED IN THE 118TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT,

REPRESENTED BY OUR FRIEND, MR. BUTLER. STANTON WAS A LEADING FIGURE OF

OF THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT, INCLUDE -- WORKING WITH FELLOW

SUFFRAGETTE, SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL

WOMEN SUFFRAGETTE ASSOCIATION FROM 1892 TO 1900. SHE IS BEST

KNOWN FOR HER DECLARATION OF SENTIMENTS, WHICH OUTLINED THE RIGHTS

WOMEN DESERVED AS CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. IMPORTANT PERSON,

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

INDEED.

AS TO OUR SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY, MR. SPEAKER,

MEMBERS HAVE ON THEIR DESKS A MAIN CALENDAR AND A DEBATE LIST. AFTER

ANY INTRODUCTIONS OR HOUSEKEEPING, IF WE HAVE THEM, WE WILL CONTINUE

OUR CONSENT TO THE NEW BILLS ON THE MAIN CALENDAR, BEGINNING WHERE

WE LEFT OFF YESTERDAY, WHICH IS CALENDAR NO. 750 ON PAGE 79 OF THE

MAIN CALENDAR. WE WILL ALSO BE TAKING UP BILLS FROM THE DEBATE LIST

THROUGHOUT THE MORNING.

SO, WITH THAT, MR. SPEAKER, AS I SAID, IF THERE'S ANY

INTRODUCTIONS OR HOUSEKEEPING, THIS WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO

TAKE THOSE UP.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WE WORE THE

INTRODUCTIONS OUT YESTERDAY, SO WE WILL DO HOUSEKEEPING TODAY.

BACK THEN. WE DIDN'T HAVE COMPUTERS LIKE THIS AT OUR FINGERTIPS. IS --

IS THIS BILL STILL RELEVANT? IS IT OUTDATED BY TECHNOLOGY?

THE BANKING INSTITUTION HAVE THAT ONLINE AS WE SPEAK. BUT IF THEY DO,

MEMO SAYS THERE'S NO FISCAL IMPACT ON THE STATE. BUT IF THIS BILL IS

GOING TO BE TRULY EFFECTIVE AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS GREAT --

GREATER ACCESS TO FILE A COMPLAINT OR ASK QUESTIONS, WON'T DEPARTMENT

OF FINANCIAL SERVICES PERSONNEL BE NEEDED TO FIELD THOSE CALLS? AND --

COUPLE OF GREAT GUESTS THAT WE HAVE WITH US HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF

MARY BETH WALSH AND PATRICIA FAHY. WE HAVE LOU SOMMA, WHO IS THE

VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUE FRIDAY GROUP WHO IS COMING UP HERE

FRIDAY. AND MANY OF YOU MAY RECALL, THIS FRIDAY IS BLUE FRIDAY,

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

WHERE WE HONOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OTHERS WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY

DURING THE LAST YEAR. IT'S A GREAT, GREAT EVENT. LOU SOMMA IS WITH THE

SARATOGA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, HE HAS 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. HE

SERVED AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE BALLSTON SPA PBA, AND IS THE PAST

PRESIDENT OF REACT, WHICH IS THE RADIO EMERGENCY ASSOCIATION

COMMUNICATIONS TEAM. WE ALSO HAVE WITH US ROBERT MARKEL. HE

RETIRED FROM THE BETHLEHEM POLICE DEPARTMENT AFTER 28 YEARS OF

SERVICE AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AT THE RANK OF DETECTIVE SERGEANT.

BOB HAS SERVED AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BETHLEHEM PBA, AND PAST

PRESIDENT OF THE BETHLEHEM SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION. TWO GREAT

REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY UP HERE FOR

HONORING MEN IN BLUE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR COMMUNITIES AND HAVE

PASSED AWAY IN THE LAST YEAR.

WOULD APPRECIATE IT, ON BEHALF OF ASSEMBLYWOMAN WALSH AND

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: CERTAINLY. ON BEHALF

OF ASSEMBLYWOMAN FAHY, ASSEMBLYWOMAN WALSH, THE SPEAKER AND

TO AMEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, IN RELATION TO TANNING FACILITIES.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: AN EXPLANATION IS

REQUESTED, MS. JAFFEE.

MS. JAFFEE: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THIS

LEGISLATION WOULD PROHIBIT A PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 FROM USING

INDOOR TANNING FACILITIES. WHILE NOW UNDER CURRENT LAW, THOSE WHO ARE

17 YEARS OF AGE, THEY -- THEY CAN HAVE ACCESS, BUT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO

HAVE A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN SIGN CONSENT BEFORE THEY CAN USE THE

UV RADIATION DEVICES. HOWEVER, NOTED BY THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

MEDICAL CENTER, RECENT STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE PARENTAL

PERMISSION LAWS DO NOT LOWER THE USE OF INDOOR FACILITIES FOR -- FOR OUR

YOUTH. AND A YOUNG PERSON'S SKIN IS STILL DEVELOPING, MAKING THEM

EVEN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HARMFUL EFFECTS OF UV RAYS. AND MANY

STUDIES AND MANY ORGANIZATIONS AROUND OUR STATE HAVE INDICATED

SUPPORT FOR THIS LEGISLATION: CANCER NETWORK -- CANCER ACTION

NETWORK, ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

MEDICAL CENTER, MEMORIAL SLOAN KET -- KETTERING CANCER CENTER, NEW

YORK STATE ACADEMY OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS, AIM AT MELANOMA

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

FOUNDATION, MEDICAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, AMERICAN ACADEMY OF

PEDIATRICS AND NYPIRG HAVE ALL COME TOGETHER IN VERY STRONG

DOCUMENTS SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION BECAUSE IT'S A WAY TO PROTECT OUR

YOUTH FROM ONGOING EXPOSURE TO THE UV RAYS WHICH THEN CAUSES CANCER

AS THEY MATURE.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR.

SPEAKER.

ON THE BILL.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: ON THE BILL, SIR.

MR. GOODELL: I APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE'S DESIRE

TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN. BUT I -- I ALSO THINK THERE'S A ROLE FOR

PARENTS. AND I THINK IT'S UP TO PARENTS TO BE THE ONES THAT MAKE THE

PROPER DECISION ON WHAT ACTIVITIES THEIR CHILDREN ENGAGE IN, INCLUDING

WHETHER OR NOT THEY GET A TAN BEFORE THEY GO ON SPRING BREAK SO THAT

THEY'RE NOT LILY WHITE, AS THE CASE MIGHT BE, WHILE ON THE BEACH WITHOUT

ANY NATURAL PROTECTION OR -- OR WHATEVER THE SITUATION MIGHT BE. SO, A

NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS BILL RAISES THE AGE OF

TANNING TO THE AGE OF 18, REGARDLESS OF PARENTAL CONSENT, WHICH MEANS

THE STATE IS USURPING THE ROLE OF THE PARENTS. SECOND, IT PRESENTS A VERY

PRACTICAL ISSUE ON ENFORCEMENT. ARE WE NOW EXPECTING OUR LAW

ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO MAKE RAIDS ON TANNING BEDS TO SEE WHETHER OR

NOT THE INDIVIDUALS ARE OVER 18? AND IT CREATES THE UNIQUE SITUATION

WHERE, IF YOU ARE OVER 18, BUT NOT BY A LOT -- NOT AN ISSUE FOR ME,

CLEARLY, BUT FOR OTHERS -- YOU HAVE TO BE PROOFED. SO, IF YOU DON'T HAVE

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR A PHOTO ID AND YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD, YOU CAN'T GET A

TAN. AND SO, THIS CREATES ONE MORE LAYER OF GOVERNMENTAL INVOLVEMENT

IN THE PRIVATE LIVES OF OTHERS IN AN AREA THAT IS BEST LEFT TO THE DISCRETION

OF THE PARENTS.

AND FOR THAT REASON, SEVERAL OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL

HAVE PROBLEMS SUPPORTING THIS BILL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR.

SPEAKER. AND THANK YOU, SPONSOR.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: READ THE LAST SECTION.

THE CLERK: THIS ACT SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THE CLERK WILL RECORD

THE VOTE.

(THE CLERK RECORDED THE VOTE.)

ACTING SPEAKER BENEDETTO: ARE THERE ANY

OTHER VOTES? ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS.

(THE CLERK ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS.)

THE BILL IS PASSED.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY NO. A02803, CALENDAR NO.

222, WILLIAMS, WEINSTEIN, RICHARDSON, DE LA ROSA, CRESPO, COLTON,

HYNDMAN, VANEL, BICHOTTE, ORTIZ, BLAKE, STECK, ABINANTI. AN ACT TO

AMEND THE REAL PROPERTY ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS LAW, IN RELATION TO

THE DEFINITION OF "TENANT" FOR PURPOSES OF MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES.

ACTING SPEAKER BENEDETTO: AN EXPLANATION

HAS BEEN REQUESTED, MS. WILLIAMS.

MS. WILLIAMS: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THIS BILL

WILL ENSURE THAT TENANTS LAWFULLY RESIDING IN A HOME UNDER FORECLOSURE

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

RECEIVE A NOTICE PROTECTION INTENDED -- FOR TENANTS RESIDING IN

FORECLOSED PROPERTIES.

ACTING SPEAKER BENEDETTO: MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: ON THE BILL.

ACTING SPEAKER BENEDETTO: ON THE BILL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MS.

WILLIAMS. THIS BILL -- UNDER CURRENT LAW -- UNDER CURRENT LAW, WHEN A

PROPERTY GOES INTO FORECLOSURE AND THERE'S A TENANT, THE TENANT CAN STAY

THE LONGER OF 90 DAYS, THE END OF THE FORECLOSURE, OR UPON COMPLETION

OF THE LEASE, AS LONG AS THEY'RE PAYING THE RENT. SO THINK ABOUT THAT FOR

A MINUTE. THE HOMEOWNER IS NO LONGER PAYING THE BANK, BUT IS

COLLECTING THE RENT FROM THE TENANT. AND SO, THE HOMEOWNER IS GETTING

A WINDFALL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE BANK. THIS BILL TAKES THE CURRENT LAW

ONE STEP FURTHER AND SAYS THAT ANY TENANT WHO STARTS RENTING THE HOUSE

AFTER THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS HAS ALREADY STARTED CAN STAY FOR THE LENGTH

OF THEIR NEW LEASE TERM. SO WHEN A BANK STARTS A FORECLOSURE, THEY FILE

A LIS PENDENS, IT'S AN OFFICIAL NOTICE, WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, IT'S A PUBLIC

NOTICE THAT THERE'S A FORECLOSURE PROCESS. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE

HOMEOWNER, AFTER THE FORECLOSURE HAS STARTED, TO RENT THE PROPERTY TO A

TENANT AND SIGN A LEASE THAT COULD BE A YEAR OR TWO YEARS LONG. NOW, AT

THE END OF THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS, OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO SELL THE -- SELL THE

HOUSE, GET A NEW FAMILY IN, GET IT BACK ON THE TAX ROLLS, TO CONVERT IT SO

THAT WE HAVE A NEW FAMILY LIVING THERE. NEW YORK CURRENTLY HAS ONE

OF THE SLOWEST FORECLOSURE PROCESSES IN THE NATION, RUNNING UPWARDS OF

THREE YEARS. AND AS A RESULT, NEW YORK HAS ZOMBIE PROPERTIES THAT ARE

NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2018

SPRINGING UP ALL OVER THAT ARE UNOCCUPIED, AND THIS IS ONE MORE STEP IN

SLOWING THAT FORECLOSURE PROCESS DOWN. AND, OF COURSE, EVERY TIME

YOU HAVE A FORECLOSURE THAT GOES SLOWER, THE UNDERWRITING STANDARDS,

THE INTEREST RATES AND ALL THE OTHER CRITERIA KICK IN ON BANKS EVALUATING

LOANS. SO, THE CURRENT PROCESS PROVIDES FULL PROTECTION FOR ANY TENANT

THAT'S IN THE HOUSE AT THE TIME THE FORECLOSURE STARTS. THIS GOES WAY

BEYOND THAT, WILL SLOW OUR MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE PROCESS DOWN FURTHER,

WILL INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ZOMBIE PROPERTIES, WILL INCREASE THE

BORROWING RATE, AND IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR TO A NEW HOMEOWNER WHO

WANTS TO COME IN AND MAKE THIS THEIR NEW HOME. SO, WE SHOULD

FACILITATE THE PROCESS OF NEW OWNERS COMING IN AND PUTTING THE HOUSE

ON THE TAX ROLL AND IMPROVING IT, NOT SLOW IT DOWN OR STOP IT.

THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: READ THE LAST SECTION.

THE CLERK: THIS ACT SHALL TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST.
