MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2020 3:41 P.M.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THE HOUSE WILL COME

TO ORDER.

RABBI RUBIN WILL OFFER A PRAYER.

RABBI ISRAEL RUBIN: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY, I REALIZE THAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

PRAYER OVER AN-HOUR-AND-A-HALF.

(LAUGHTER)

AND I DO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT TU BISHVAT,

THE JEWISH NEW YEAR FOR TREES, WHICH IS TODAY. AND WHILE I CAN GIVE

YOU A LONG-WINDED TALE OF THE TALMUD, DESCRIBING THE IMPORTANCE OF A

KARAB AND FRUITS AND TREES, BUT INSTEAD OF THAT I WILL SHOW YOU HOW

SHORT A PRAYER CAN BE. IT'S ACTUALLY A BLESSING THAT IS SAID ON THIS DAY ON

FRUIT. AND I'LL SAY IT IN ENGLISH AND SAY IT IN THE BIBLICAL HEBREW.

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

BLESSED ARE YOU, O LORD, OUR GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE WHO CREATES

FRUIT OF THE TREE.

(SPEAKING HEBREW)

AMEN.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

VISITORS ARE --

(APPLAUSE)

YES.

(APPLAUSE)

VISITORS ARE INVITED TO JOIN THE MEMBERS IN THE PLEDGE

OF ALLEGIANCE.

(WHEREUPON, ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY LED VISITORS AND

MEMBERS IN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.)

A QUORUM BEING PRESENT, THE CLERK WILL READ THE

JOURNAL OF SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: MR. SPEAKER, I MOVE TO

DISMISS WITH THE FURTHER READING OF THE JOURNAL OF SUNDAY, FEBRUARY THE

9TH AND ASK THAT THE SAME STAND APPROVED.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WITHOUT OBJECTION,

SO ORDERED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER. JUST TO GO OVER THE SCHEDULE FOR TODAY, I WILL, FIRST OF ALL,

WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A QUOTE. THIS QUOTE TODAY IS, MR. SPEAKER, FROM

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

JESSE OWENS. HE WAS AN AMERICAN TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETE AND A FOUR-

TIME GOLD MEDALIST IN 1936 - BEFORE MOST OF US WERE EVEN THOUGHT

ABOUT - MR. SPEAKER, IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES. THESE WORDS THAT JESSE IS

SHARING WITH US TODAY I THINK ARE AS REAL THEN AS THEY ARE NOW. "WE ALL

HAVE DREAMS. IN ORDER TO MAKE DREAMS COME INTO REALITY, IT TAKES AN

AWFUL LOT OF DETERMINATION, DEDICATION, SELF-DISCIPLINE AND EFFORT."

WITH THAT, MR. SPEAKER, I WILL SAY THAT THE MEMBERS

DO HAVE ON THEIR DESKS A MAIN CALENDAR. WE WILL BE WORKING OFF THE

MAIN CALENDAR INCLUDING CONSENTING ON TEN NEW BILLS, BEGINNING WITH

CALENDAR NO. 389 ON PAGE 4. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GO RIGHT

THROUGH TO CALENDAR NO. 398. WE ALSO HAVE TO CONTINUE WITH OUR

CONSENT FROM OUR MAIN CALENDAR LAST WEEK WHERE WE LEFT OFF, WHICH IS

AT CALENDAR NO. 261. THAT'S ON PAGE 47. FULL DISCLOSURE, THERE WILL BE

A NEED FOR A MINORITY [SIC] CONFERENCE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING SESSION.

AND AS ALWAYS, MR. SPEAKER, WE WILL CHECK WITH OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE

OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE TO SEE WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE. THAT IS A GENERAL

INTRODUCTION -- A GENERAL OUTLINE. IF THERE ARE INTRODUCTIONS AND/OR

HOUSEKEEPING, NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WE WILL HAVE AN

INTRODUCTION.

MS. FAHY FOR THE PURPOSES OF AN INTRODUCTION.

MS. FAHY: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR ALLOWING

ME TO INTERRUPT THE PROCEEDINGS. THIS -- THIS AFTERNOON I'M TRULY

HONORED TO, ONCE AGAIN, THIS YEAR WELCOME BACK RABBI RUBIN, WHO JUST

PROVIDED OUR OPENING PRAYER. HE IS AMONG THE MOST DISTINGUISHED OF

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN THE CAPITAL REGION, AND HE'S HERE TODAY TO HELP US

CELEBRATE TU BISHVAT. AND I'M SORRY, RABBI, IF I DON'T GET THAT QUITE

RIGHT EVERY YEAR. BUT IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR FOR TREES.

TU BISHVAT HAS DEVELOPED INTO AN ECOLOGICAL HOLIDAY THAT REMINDS US

OF OUR CONNECTION TO THE EARTH, AND IT'S OUR ROLE AS -- OUR ROLE HERE AS

CARETAKERS OF THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS MARKS THE SEASON IN WHICH THE

EARLIEST-BLOOMING TREES IN ISRAEL EMERGE FROM THEIR WINTER SLEEP AND

BEGIN A NEW FRUIT-BEARING CYCLE. IT'S NOW CELEBRATED AS A TREE PLANTING

FESTIVAL IN ISRAEL, AND JEWS AROUND THE WORLD PLANT TREES IN MEMORY OF

A LOVED ONE AND FRIENDS, SHARE A MEAL THAT INCORPORATE DRIED FRUITS, NUTS

-- AND NUTS, WHICH RABBI RUBIN AND HIS STUDENTS, ALONG WITH MANY

OTHER COLLEAGUES OF HIS THROUGHOUT THE CAPITAL REGION, HAVE PROVIDED

FOR MEMBERS HERE TODAY. AT THE HEART OF THIS HOLIDAY IS A CELEBRATION OF

THE WORLD IN ALL ITS GLORY AND COMPLEXITY.

MR. SPEAKER, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE PROVIDE RABBI

RUBIN WITH ALL THE CORDIALITIES OF THE HOUSE. AND IF I MAY SAY - AND I

HOPE I'M SAYING THIS RIGHT - CHAG SAMEACH. CHAG SAMEACH, OR A HAPPY

HOLIDAY TO ALL FOR THIS WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND CELEBRATION. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: CERTAINLY. ON BEHALF

OF MS. FAHY, THE SPEAKER AND ALL THE MEMBERS, WE WELCOME YOU AGAIN,

RABBI RUBIN, TO THE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY, EXTEND TO YOU THE

PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR. AND AGAIN, OUR THANKS FOR THE PRAYER THAT WAS

SO MEANINGFUL BUT SO SHORT. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. WE APPRECIATE

IT AND YOUR PATIENCE. THANK YOU, SIR.

MANY OF YOU ARE FANS OF SARATOGA SPRINGS, HAVING TAKEN IN -- TAKEN IN

THE RACES THERE OR ENJOYED OUR DINING OPPORTUNITIES. BUT WHAT YOU MAY

PERCENT. AND THESE ARE THREE TERRIFIC EXAMPLES OF WOMEN IN

GOVERNMENT.

(APPLAUSE)

THESE PEOPLE REPRESENT ACHIEVE, AND FORMERLY, YEARS AGO, IT WAS THE

BROOME TIOGA ARC, BUT IT'S CHANGED THEIR NAME TO ACHIEVE AS

THEY'VE ADOPTED DIFFERENT MISSIONS. THEY'VE ACTUALLY GONE INTO

CHENANGO COUNTY, SO NOW THEY PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH

DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN BROOME, CHENANGO AND TIOGA COUNTY.

THERE'S SOME WONDERFUL THINGS THAT THEY'RE DOING. I HAVE FOUR

INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HERE TODAY TO REPRESENT ACHIEVE AND TALK TO US AS

LEGISLATORS. IT'S TRISHA PETERS, MELLISA ELLIS, THERESA MELNYK, AND

CAMEO CLOUGH. AND ON BEHALF OF MY COLLEAGUES ASSEMBLYWOMAN

OTHER AREA THAT THESE PEOPLE WORK IN AND DO THEIR MAGIC.

WE WILL NOW GO TO RESOLUTIONS ON PAGE 3. THE CLERK

WILL READ.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. 750, MR.

JONES. LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR ANDREW M.

CUOMO TO PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 10, 2020, AS CANADIAN- AMERICAN

HERITAGE DAY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: ON THE RESOLUTION, ALL

THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING AYE; OPPOSED, NO. THE RESOLUTIONS

[SIC] ARE ADOPTED.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. 751, MR.

LIPETRI. LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR ANDREW M.

CUOMO TO PROCLAIM FEBRUARY 14, 2020, AS P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY IN THE

STATE OF NEW YORK.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: ON THE RESOLUTION --

MR. LIPETRI, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK?

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

MR. LIPETRI: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. ALLOW ME

TO INTERRUPT THESE PROCEEDINGS TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION. APRIL 23,

2010, BROOKE DIPALMA WAS OFF TO SCHOOL AS SHE NORMALLY DID DAY AFTER

DAY AFTER DAY. THAT -- THAT MORNING, HER FATHER DROPPED HER OFF. BEFORE

HE DROPPED HER OFF, SHE WENT OFF INTO THE CLASSROOM, INTO THE BUILDING.

HE SAYS TO HER, "I LOVE YOU." SHE LOOKS BACK, AS ANY OTHER DAUGHTER

WOULD, LOOKS BACK AT HER FATHER, LOCKS EYES AND SAYS, "I LOVE YOU."

UNBEKNOWNST TO BROOKE, UNBEKNOWNST TO HER ENTIRE FAMILY, THE -- THE

DIPALMA FAMILY, THAT WAS THE LAST TIME SHE WOULD EVER SEE HER FATHER.

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME SHE WOULD EVER SPEAK TO HER FATHER. THOSE LAST

WORDS, "I LOVE YOU" WERE THE LAST WORDS SHE WOULD EVER SAY TO HER

FATHER, JOE. YOU SEE, THAT DAY HE COMMITTED SUICIDE. AND LIKE MANY

OTHERS ACROSS THIS STATE, ACROSS THIS NATION, THAT SUFFER FROM MENTAL

HEALTH, SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION OR BULLYING, IT WAS A TRAGEDY THAT

AFFECTED THEM. THE GLUE THAT STUCK THAT FAMILY TOGETHER WAS SUDDENLY

VANISHED. BUT YOU SEE, MR. SPEAKER, BROOKE, HER SISTER JAIMIE, HER

FAMILY, THEY CREATED P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY. A DAY WHERE THEY COULD

SPEAK OUT TO ALL THOSE INDIVIDUALS, THOSE FAMILIES, THAT HAVE TO ENDURE

THESE TYPE OF TRAGEDIES, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO PREVENT THESE

OCCURRENCES FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN. SO THE GOAL OF P.S. I LOVE

YOU DAY IS TO BRING AWARENESS TO THESE MENTAL HEALTH ILLNESSES. THE

GOAL IS TO GET 70,000 PEOPLE AND 200 SCHOOLS TO WEAR PURPLE,

CELEBRATED EACH AND EVERY YEAR ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF FEBRUARY. THIS

YEAR IT BEING FEBRUARY 14TH. NOW, MR. SPEAKER, SOME PEOPLE WILL CALL

THAT A COINCIDENCE, THE 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF P.S. I LOVE YOU DAY

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

FALLING ON FEBRUARY 14TH. BUT AS I SAID, MR. SPEAKER, COINCIDENCE IS

JUST GOD'S WAY OF STAYING ANONYMOUS. AND SO THIS YEAR, JOE LOOKS

DOWN ON BROOKE, HER SISTER, HER FAMILY, AND THEY KNOW THAT HE IS WITH

THEM, SPECIFICALLY ON FEBRUARY 14TH. THE THEME THIS YEAR IS "BE PROUD

OF WHO YOU ARE. EVERY LITTLE BIT OF IT." AND ON FEBRUARY 14TH AS

PEOPLE GO TO WORK, AS YOU LEAVE WORK, AS YOU GO ABOUT YOUR DAY, THOSE

THREE WORDS YOU COULD SAY TO SOMEBODY, "I LOVE YOU", IT MAY JUST BE A

SMALL TOUCH, MR. SPEAKER, BUT IT COULD HAVE HUGE, LONG-LASTING EFFECTS.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, MR. SPEAKER. I

WANT TO THANK BROOKE DIPALMA AND THE ENTIRE DIPALMA FAMILY FOR

BUILDING FROM A TRAGEDY TO MAKE SURE OTHER FAMILIES NEVER HAVE TO

SUFFER WHAT THE DIPALMAS HAD TO SUFFER. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU, SIR.

ON THE RESOLUTION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SIGNIFY BY SAYING

AYE; OPPOSED, NO. THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.

MS. SEAWRIGHT FOR THE PURPOSES OF AN INTRODUCTION.

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2020

CORDIALITIES OF THE HOUSE. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: CERTAINLY. ON BEHALF

MS. SEAWRIGHT, THE SPEAKER AND ALL THE MEMBERS, WE WELCOME YOU

HERE TO THE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY. WE EXTEND TO YOU THE

PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR. OUR THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WORK

THAT YOU DO TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE

SERVICES. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

MS. FAHY TO EXPLAIN HER VOTE.

MS. FAHY: MR. SPEAKER, I RISE TO EXPLAIN MY VOTE

AND JUST WANT TO QUICKLY MENTION THAT THIS BILL WAS PROPOSED AS A RESULT

OF THE VERY RAPID GROWTH OF TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES, OFTEN

REFERRED TO AS UBER AND LYFT, AND SOME -- A COUPLE OF HORRIFIC

INCIDENCES THAT DID OCCUR WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE OR OTHERS GOT INTO

VEHICLES MISTAKENLY. VEHICLES THAT WEREN'T IDENTIFIED IN ANY OBVIOUS

WAY. ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A LIGHT IDENTIFYING THEM AS A

LYFT OR UBER, AND HAD NO IDENTIFICATION INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SO THIS

REQUIRES THAT THERE BE SOME TYPE OF LIGHT OR NOTIFICATION AS YOU DO SEE

ON MANY OF THEM, ESPECIALLY LYFT VEHICLES, AND IT REQUIRES THAT THERE BE

A PICTURE ID ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS YOU MIGHT SEE IN A TAXI CAB,

AS YOU OFTEN SEE IN A TAXI CAB. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE THINK IS JUST AN

EXTRA SAFETY STANDARD, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO MAY JUMP IN COMING

OUT OF A -- SOMETHING LATE AT NIGHT, A CONCERT OR WHAT HAVE YOU, AND NOT

NECESSARILY REALIZE WHAT VEHICLE THEY'RE GETTING IN. AND SO IT'S FOR THE

PASSENGERS' PROTECTION, AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT ON THIS.

THANK YOU.

AFFIRMATIVE.
