A QUORUM BEING PRESENT, THE CLERK WILL READ THE

JOURNAL OF WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

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

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

DISPENSE WITH THE FURTHER READING OF THE JOURNAL OF WEDNESDAY,

FEBRUARY 27TH AND ASK THAT THE SAME STAND APPROVED.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WITHOUT OBJECTION, SO

ORDERED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR.

SPEAKER, AND GOOD MORNING TO MY COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS AND GUESTS

THAT ARE IN THE CHAMBERS WITH US TODAY. WE ARE GOING TO START WITH OUR

QUOTE FOR THE DAY. AND I WANT TO QUOTE A GENTLEMAN WHO IS JUST SO

QUOTABLE, HE GAVE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SPEECHES DURING HIS LIFETIME.

HE LEFT US A GREAT LEGACY AND A GREAT PATH TO FOLLOW; IT'S NONE OTHER THAN

THE REVEREND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING. SO, I WANT TO PROVIDE TWO

QUOTES OF HIS WHICH I THINK KIND OF MEET EACH OTHER. I'M NOT SURE AT

WHAT TIME IN HIS LIFESPAN HE GAVE THESE, OR WHICH SPEECHES FOR SURE,

BUT THEY DO KIND OF MEET EACH OTHER AND KIND OF HAVE A SIMILAR

MESSAGE. THE FIRST ONE IS, MR. SPEAKER, JUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT --

"INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE." I'M GOING TO

REPEAT THAT, MR. SPEAKER, BECAUSE I GARBLED THE FIRST WORD. "INJUSTICE

ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE." THE SECOND QUOTE BY DR.

KING THIS MORNING, MR. SPEAKER, IS, "THE TIME IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO DO

WHAT IS RIGHT." AGAIN, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING.

MR. SPEAKER, WE HAVE OUR MAIN CALENDAR ON OUR

DESKS. AFTER THERE ARE ANY INTRODUCTIONS AND HOUSEKEEPING, WE SHOULD

CONTINUE WITH THE CONSENT OF THE BILLS THAT WE WORKED ON FROM

YESTERDAY. WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN ON CALENDAR NO. 62, WHICH IS ON PAGE

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

9. WE WILL ALSO TAKE UP A RULES REPORT, NO. 34, BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER

BRAUNSTEIN. MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING COMMITTEE SHOULD LOOK FORWARD

TO BEING CALLED INTO A COMMITTEE MEETING OFF THE FLOOR, AND MAJORITY

MEMBERS SHOULD LOOK FORWARD TO A CONFERENCE AT THE CONCLUSION OF

TODAY'S SESSION. AND OF COURSE, MR. SPEAKER, AS ALWAYS, WE WILL

CONSULT WITH OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE TO SEE IF THEY

MIGHT HAVE A SIMILAR NEED.

WITH THAT AS A GENERAL OUTLINE, MR. SPEAKER, IF THERE

ARE ANY INTRODUCTIONS OR HOUSEKEEPING, NOW WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE

TIME.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WE WILL START WITH

SOME HOUSEKEEPING.

ON A MOTION BY MS. PAULIN, PAGE 4, RULES REPORT NO.

23, BILL NO. A02686, AMENDMENTS ARE RECEIVED AND ADOPTED.

AND WE HAVE INTRODUCTIONS.

MR. MCDONALD.

MR. MCDONALD: WELL, THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER,

AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERRUPT OUR PROCEEDINGS TODAY.

LATER ON THIS MORNING WE WILL BE DECLARING TODAY, FEBRUARY 28TH, 2019

AS RARE DISEASE DAY HERE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. AND WE HAVE

TODAY WITH US MANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM MANY DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS

HERE FOR RARE DISEASE AWARENESS DAY.

WHILE EACH OF THESE DISEASES AND DISORDERS MAY AFFECT

A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE, RARE AND GENETIC DISEASES TOGETHER AFFECT

APPROXIMATELY 30 MILLION PEOPLE THROUGHOUT AMERICA. RARE DISEASE

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

AWARENESS DAY IS A CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND

DECISION-MAKERS ABOUT RARE DISEASES AND THE IMPACT THAT THEY HAVE ON

THEIR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE POLITICAL MOMENTUM RESULTING

FROM THIS DAY HAS ALSO SERVED FOR ADVOCACY PURPOSES. THIS CAMPAIGN

HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF NATIONAL POLICIES FOR RARE

DISEASES IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES, AND NOW IS THE TIME TO JOIN TOGETHER FOR

BETTER CARE.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE OUR GUESTS WHO ARE HERE TODAY,

AND I WILL INTRODUCE THEM BY ORGANIZATION. FIRST OF ALL, FROM NORD,

THE NEW YORK RARE ACTION NETWORK AND THE OLEY FOUNDATION, WE

HAVE MARY WOOTTEN AND HER DAUGHTER, NATALIE WOOTTEN, WHO IS HERE,

REPRESENTING THE CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION, WE HAVE PARENT

ADVOCATES EMILIE MCHALE, MARIBEL LAPE AND BROCK LAPE.

REPRESENTING THE LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA SOCIETY, WE HAVE THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MAUREEN O'BRIEN, AND PAST BOARD CHAIR, BRAD

WAGNER. AND WE ALSO HAVE WITH US TODAY A TWO-TIME BLOOD CANCER

ARTHRITIS DISEASE, WE HAVE THE STATE DIRECTOR OF THE ARTHRITIS

FOUNDATION, MARY BARLETT, AND REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN CANCER

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

MR. SPEAKER, IF YOU COULD PLEASE EXTEND OUR SPECIAL

GROUP THE COURTESIES OF THE HOUSE, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK

YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: CERTAINLY. ON BEHALF

OF MR. MCDONALD, 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. WE COMMEND YOU ON THE WORK THAT YOU DO TO

ASSIST AND BRING AWARENESS OF THESE RARE DISEASES. WE HOPE THAT YOU

WILL CONTINUE THAT WORK AND KNOW THAT WE APPRECIATE IT GREATLY. THANK

YOU SO VERY MUCH.

(APPLAUSE)

MS. MALLIOTAKIS.

MS. MALLIOTAKIS: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

TODAY, IT'S MY HONOR TO INTRODUCE A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE ADVOCATE FROM

STATEN ISLAND, AND THAT IS 11-YEAR-OLD AVA ROSE GARNETT. SHE IS ONE OF

THE MANY PEOPLE WHO MAKE ME VERY PROUD TO REPRESENT MY HOME

BOROUGH. AS MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED, TODAY IS RARE DISEASE DAY AND

SHE'S AN ADVOCATE BECAUSE SHE HAS A RARE DISEASE. HER GENETIC DISORDER

IS KNOWN AS NAIL–PATELLA SYNDROME. AND NAIL–PATELLA SYNDROME

CAUSES SERIOUS ABNORMALITIES OF THE JOINTS AND NAILS AND CAN CAUSE

SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS. BUT ANYONE WHO KNOWS AVA KNOWS THAT THAT

HAS NOT SLOWED HER DOWN A BIT. AVA ATTENDS THE 6TH GRADE AT IS 75 AND

HAS GROWN UP PLAYING SOCCER AND OTHER SPORTS, AND AS A MEMBER OF GIRL

SCOUT TROOP 5116, SHE HANDCRAFTED HUNDREDS OF RIBBONS EACH YEAR TO

RAISE AWARENESS FOR RARE DISEASE DAY AND, IN FACT, I'M WEARING ONE

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

TODAY. AFTER MEETING AVA AS SHE ADVOCATED FOR RARE DISEASES AT MY

WOMEN'S HISTORY CELEBRATION LAST YEAR, I FELT SO INSPIRED THAT MY STAFF

AND I BROUGHT RIBBONS TO OUR OFFICE AND WE, DURING SESSION LAST YEAR,

PRESENTED HER WITH A PROCLAMATION; IN FACT, SHE IS THE YOUNGEST PERSON

TO RECEIVE A [SIC] ASSEMBLY PROCLAMATION FROM MY OFFICE, AND I'M VERY

PROUD OF AVA.

SINCE THEN, AVA HAS CONTINUED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF

RARE DISEASES BY MODELING ADAPTIVE CLOTHING FOR RUNWAY OF DREAMS.

SHE ALSO ATTENDED SHELIFT IN COLORADO, WHERE SHE CONNECTS WITH OTHER

DIFFERENTLY LIMBED YOUNG WOMEN AND MENTORS AT OUTDOOR RETREATS,

WHERE SHE PROVES THAT SHE CAN DO ANYTHING. SHE ALSO RECENTLY HAD HER

FIRST TASTE OF SHOW BUSINESS WHEN SHE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR ON

AN EPISODE OF CBS' SERIES GOD FRIENDED ME. I'M THRILLED THAT AVA IS

ABLE TO JOIN US TODAY TO HEAR FIRSTHAND ABOUT THIS RESOLUTION AND HOW

MUCH NEW YORK STATE CARES ABOUT HER CAUSE. KEEP A LOOK OUT IN YOUR

MAILBOXES TODAY, OR IF YOU SEE US LATER ON YOU MAY GET ONE OF AVA'S

FAMOUS RIBBONS THAT SHE BROUGHT TO ALBANY HERSELF. AND SHE IS JOINED

TODAY BY HER PARENTS, JOHN AND HEATHER, WHO ARE IN THE FIRST ROW, AND

HER BROTHER, JOHN RUSSELL. SO PLEASE WELCOME THEM AND I WOULD LOVE

IF MY COLLEAGUES CAN STOP BY AND SAY HI TO AVA BEFORE SHE LEAVES.

(APPLAUSE)

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: ON BEHALF OF MS.

MALLIOTAKIS, THE SPEAKER AND ALL THE MEMBERS, AVA, WELCOME BACK TO

THE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY. WE ARE ALWAYS SO PLEASED TO HAVE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING TO HELP OTHERS AND HELP US

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

THAT GREAT WORK. WE HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL YEAR AND WE'LL LOOK

MR. BRAUNSTEIN TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. BRAUNSTEIN: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

TODAY, THE STATE OF NEW YORK IS TAKING A STRONG STAND THAT REVENGE

PORN WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED IN OUR STATE. VICTIMS OF REVENGE PORN

ARE FREQUENTLY HARASSED, STALKED. THEY HAVE A HARD TIME SOMETIMES

FINDING A JOB, SOMETIMES ENTERING INTO NEW RELATIONSHIPS. THEY SUFFER

EXTREME EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND EVEN SOMETIMES COMMIT SUICIDE. SO

TODAY, WE'RE SENDING A MESSAGE TO ANYBODY WHO IS THINKING ABOUT

DISSEMINATING REVENGE PORN THAT IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO, THEY COULD

POTENTIALLY SPEND UP TO A YEAR IN PRISON. THIS WILL HAVE A DETERRENT

EFFECT ON THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY. IT WILL PREVENT MANY PEOPLE FROM

BECOMING VICTIMS OF REVENGE PORN.

ALSO, I APPRECIATE THE SPEAKER'S ASSISTANCE AND THE

CODES COMMITTEE'S ASSISTANCE IN INCLUDING A PROVISION IN THIS BILL THAT

WOULD ALLOW VICTIMS TO PETITION A COURT TO ISSUE AN INJUNCTION TO

REQUIRE WEBSITES TO TAKE REVENGE PORN DOWN. VERY OFTEN VICTIMS AREN'T

NECESSARILY INTERESTED IN SEEING SOMEONE GO TO JAIL, SOMETIMES THEY'RE

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

NOT LOOKING FOR MONEY DAMAGES. A LOT OF TIMES WHAT THEY SIMPLY WANT

IS FOR THE PICTURES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE INTERNET SO THEY CAN MOVE

ON WITH THEIR LIVES. AND TODAY, WE'RE PROVIDING THEM A TOOL TO USE TO

HAVE A COURT ISSUE AN INJUNCTION SO THOSE PICTURES CAN BE TAKEN DOWN.

SO, I'M PROUD TO HAVE SPONSORED THIS BILL AND I THINK IT WILL PROTECT

MANY NEW YORKERS ONCE IT'S PASSED AND SIGNED INTO LAW. THANK YOU

VERY MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. BRAUNSTEIN IN THE

AFFIRMATIVE.

MS. FERNANDEZ.

MS. FERNANDEZ: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR

ALLOWING ME TO EXPLAIN MY VOTE. I THANK THE SPONSOR FOR TAKING UP THIS

LEGISLATION AND HIS YEARS OF WORK ON IT. THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION IS SO

NEEDED AND EXTREMELY TIMELY FOR THIS DAY AND AGE. WE'RE IN A TIME THAT

TECHNOLOGY HAS A PIECE OF NEARLY EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES. NO ONE CAN

DENY THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE INTERNET. PLAIN AND SIMPLE,

REVENGE PORN IS ABUSE, A FORM OF ABUSE EXPOSING THE MOST PRIVATE PARTS

OF A PERSON'S LIFE USING THEIR OWN BODY AGAINST THEM. IT IS VIOLATING, IT

IS LIFE-THREATENING AND IT IS ABUSE DONE WITH THE DIRECT INTENTION OF

HARMING SOMEONE. THE STATE HAS MADE HUGE STRIDES IN PROTECTING

THOSE MOST VULNERABLE AND, IN THIS CASE, WOMEN, AND HAS GIVEN NEW

OPPORTUNITY FOR JUSTICE. THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION IS NO DIFFERENT FROM

THAT AND, AGAIN, I THANK THE SPONSOR AND THE ACTIVISTS, THE VICTIMS AND

ANYONE ELSE IN FEAR OF BEING WRONGFULLY EXPOSED. SO WITH THAT, I VOTE

IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 28, 2019

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. FERNANDEZ IN THE

AFFIRMATIVE.

MS. GLICK.

MS. GLICK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER.

BRIEFLY LET ME JUST CONGRATULATE MY COLLEAGUE. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG

OVERDUE ACTION. HE'S WORKED VERY HARD FOR A LONG TIME. MANY OF MY

FRIENDS ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE -- OUR LIVES PRECEDED SOCIAL MEDIA

AND THAT THE SORT OF THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND

CONTINUES TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR LIVES AFTER A RELATIONSHIP BREAKS UP

IS OUTRAGEOUS AND TRAGIC. AND I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE HIM AGAIN FOR

THE WORK THAT HE HAS DONE TO BRING THIS TO FRUITION TODAY. THANK YOU SO

MUCH AND I WITHDRAW MY REQUEST AND VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. GLICK IN THE

AFFIRMATIVE.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER VOTES? ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS.
