A QUORUM BEING PRESENT, THE CLERK WILL READ THE

JOURNAL OF TUESDAY, MARCH 3RD.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

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

NYS ASSEMBLY MARCH 4, 2020

DISPENSE WITH THE FURTHER READING OF THE JOURNAL OF TUESDAY, MARCH THE

3RD AND ASK THAT THE SAME STAND APPROVED.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WITHOUT OBJECTION,

SO ORDERED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER. IF I CAN HAVE MEMBERS' AND GUESTS' IN THE CHAMBERS ATTENTION

FOR A MOMENT, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A QUOTE FOR TODAY. THIS ONE COMES

FROM MALALA YOUSAFZAI. MANY MAY KNOW THAT A FEW YEARS BACK -- I'M

GOING TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE CALM DOWN RIGHT HERE, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: AND I THINK YOU

SHOULD.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SHH. MEMBERS WILL HAVE THEIR

SEATS. PLEASE BE QUIET ON THE SIDE.

PROCEED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER. AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS QUOTE IS COMING FROM MALALA

YOUSAFZAI. THIS YOUNG LADY WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BY THE TALIBAN -- A

TALIBAN GUNMAN IN 2012. SHE SURVIVED, AND SHE -- IN 2014 SHE WON

THE NOBEL PEACE PRICE. WHY WAS SHE ATTACKED AND WHY DID SHE WIN A

PRIZE? BECAUSE SHE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND UP AND SAY, ALL LITTLE

GIRLS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL. HER QUOTE FOR US TODAY, MR.

SPEAKER, IS, "WE CANNOT SUCCEED WHEN HALF OF US ARE HELD BACK. WE

CALL UPON OUR SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD TO BE BRAVE, TO EMBRACE THE

STRENGTH FROM WITHIN THEMSELVES AND REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL." I

NYS ASSEMBLY MARCH 4, 2020

WANT TO THANK MISS YOUSAFZAI FOR HER WORDS TODAY BECAUSE THEY ARE

CLEARLY APPROPRIATE.

MR. SPEAKER, WITH THAT, I SHOULD REMIND COLLEAGUES

THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR DESKS A MAIN CALENDAR AND A DEBATE LIST. AND

THEN AFTER THERE ARE ANY INTRODUCTIONS AND/OR HOUSEKEEPING, WE WILL

CONTINUE OUR CONSENT AT CALENDAR NO. 441 WHICH IS ON PAGE 55, AND WE

WILL ALSO TAKE UP SOME BILLS OFF OF THE DEBATE LIST. THERE IS DEFINITELY A

NEED FOR A MAJORITY CONFERENCE AT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR FLOOR WORK

TODAY. AND AS ALWAYS, MR. SPEAKER, WE WILL TALK WITH OUR COLLEAGUES

TO SEE WHAT THEIR NEEDS ARE.

THAT'S A GENERAL OUTLINE. IF THERE ARE ANY INTRODUCTIONS

AND/OR HOUSEKEEPING, NOW WOULD BE A GREAT TIME.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: NO HOUSEKEEPING

TODAY, MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES. HOWEVER, MR. MORINELLO FOR THE PURPOSES

OF AN INTRODUCTION.

SHE TOLD ME WHAT TO DO. SHE KNEW MORE ABOUT THE LAW AND MORE ABOUT

PROCEDURE. AND WE ALL KNOW GOOD STAFF MAKES US ALL LOOK GOOD.
