ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THE HOUSE WILL COME

IN THE ABSENCE OF CLERGY, LET US PAUSE FOR A MOMENT OF

SILENCE.

(WHEREUPON, A MOMENT OF SILENCE WAS OBSERVED.)

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 WEDNESDAY, JUNE THE 2ND.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

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

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THAT WE DISPENSE WITH THE FURTHER READING OF THE JOURNAL OF WEDNESDAY,

JUNE THE 2ND AND ASK THAT THE SAME STAND APPROVED.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: WITHOUT OBJECTION, SO

ORDERED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER. COLLEAGUES, THIS IS THE LAST DAY OF THIS WEEK IN THE 244TH

LEGISLATIVE SESSION, BUT I WANT TO SHARE A QUOTE WITH YOU BEFORE WE GO

TO THE SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY. THIS ONE COMES FROM HARVEY MILK, WHO

WAS BORN IN NEW YORK AND YOU MAY KNOW WAS ELECTED -- THE FIRST

OPENLY GAY PERSON TO BE ELECTED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN SAN

FRANCISCO. HARVEY'S WORDS FOR US TODAY, IT TAKES NO COMPROMISE TO

GIVE PEOPLE THEIR RIGHTS. IT TAKES NO MONEY TO RESPECT THE INDIVIDUAL.

IT TAKES NO POLITICAL DEAL TO GIVE PEOPLE FREEDOM. IT TAKES NO SURVEY TO

REMOVE REPRESSION. AGAIN, HARVEY MILK.

SO COLLEAGUES WE DO HAVE ON YOUR DESK A MAIN

CALENDAR AND A DEBATE LIST. AFTER THERE'S ANY HOUSEKEEPING OR

INTRODUCTIONS, WE WILL BEGIN TAKING UP OUR WORK WITH THE RESOLUTIONS

ON PAGE 3 AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CONSENT NEW BILLS ON THE

MAIN CALENDAR THAT WERE LEFT -- WHERE WE LEFT OFF ON YESTERDAY,

BEGINNING WITH RULES REPORT NO. 311 ON PAGE 15, GOING THROUGH RULES

REPORT NO. 404 ON PAGE 33. WE WILL ALSO WORK OFF OF OUR EXISTING

DEBATE LIST. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF THIS SESSION, THERE IS

GOING TO BE A NEED FOR A MAJORITY CONFERENCE, AND CLEARLY IF OUR

COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE NEED SOMETHING SIMILAR, WE WILL APPRISE AT

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THAT TIME.

THAT IS THE GENERAL OUTLINE, MR. SPEAKER. IF THERE ARE

INTRODUCTIONS AND/OR HOUSEKEEPING, WE COULD DO THAT AND THEN MOVE

ON TO OUR WORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND TODAY WE HAVE, ON JUNE THE 3RD, NO HOUSEKEEPING AND NO

INTRODUCTIONS.

WE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO RESOLUTIONS ON PAGE 3, THE

CLERK WILL READ.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION NO. 373, MS.

GLICK.

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MEMORIALIZING GOVERNOR

ANDREW M. CUOMO TO PROCLAIM JUNE 2021, AS GAY PRIDE MONTH IN THE

STATE OF NEW.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. GLICK ON THE

RESOLUTION.

MS. GLICK: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THE

RESOLUTION DETAILS MANY OF THE WONDERFUL SUCCESSES OF THE LGBT

COMMUNITY FROM A POLITICAL AND LEGISLATIVE POINT OF VIEW. JUNE IS, IN

FACT, GAY PRIDE MONTH BECAUSE IN 1969 A GROUP OF LARGELY TRANSGENDER

NEW YORKERS, MANY WOMEN OF COLOR, WERE TIRED OF THE CONSTANT

HARASSMENT AND POLICE RAIDS, THE THREAT TO THEIR LIBERTY, AND THEY

REBELLED. AND WE DEDICATE THIS MONTH TO CELEBRATE BEING WHO WE ARE,

THE FREEDOM TO LIVE AND LOVE WHO WE CARE TO.

BUT THAT -- THAT CELEBRATION IS ALL ON THE SURFACE.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

UNDERNEATH WE CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AGAINST DISCRIMINATION, BIGOTRY

AND, FRANKLY, RELIGIOUS ZEALOTRY. THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS THIS

STATE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHO REMAIN AFRAID TO BE WHO THEY ARE,

WHO FACE CHALLENGES, THREATS TO THEIR -- FROM THEIR FAMILY, FROM THEIR

COMMUNITY. AND SO WE HAVE TO REDOUBLE OUR EFFORTS TO LIFT UP AND

REMIND PEOPLE THAT BEING WHO YOU ARE IS NO SIN. BEING WHO YOU ARE

SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU CAN CELEBRATE AND BE PROUD OF AND, YET, IN

MANY PLACES ACROSS THE GLOBE, JUST BEING LGBTQ CAN BE A DEATH

SENTENCE. THAT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING THING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND OUR

GREAT COUNTRY HAS NOT NECESSARILY COVERED ITSELF IN GLORY OVER THE YEARS.

IT HAS EXPORTED SOME OF THE MOST PERNICIOUS ATTITUDES AND SUPPORTED

THE WORK OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD PUSH FORWARD LEGISLATION AND IDEAS THAT

WOULD RESULT IN PEOPLE BEING DETAINED, BEATEN, AND ULTIMATELY KILLED.

SO WHILE NEW YORK STATE HAS BEEN A BEACON SINCE

1969, I WILL REMIND MEMBERS THAT I JOINED THIS BODY IN 1991. NEW

YORK STATE DID NOT PASS BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS FOR LESBIANS AND GAY MEN

UNTIL 2002. AS A SITTING MEMBER OF THIS BODY, I COULD HAVE BEEN ASKED

TO LEAVE A RESTAURANT WITH NO LEGAL RECOURSE IF I WAS HOLDING ANOTHER

WOMAN'S HAND. BUT WE HAVE MOVED. IN 2011, WE PASSED MARRIAGE

EQUALITY. MY GOOD FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, DANNY O'DONNELL, DESERVES

ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD FOR THE WORK HE DID ON THAT AND, YET, THERE

ARE STILL PEOPLE WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES PROGRESSIVE WHO DIDN'T

SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY.

WE HAVE SEEN MANY ADVANCES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND

I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT NEW YORK HAS DONE TO LEAD THE NATION.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

BUT WE SHOULD NOT THINK THAT THE WORK IS OVER. BULLYING IN SCHOOLS IS

STILL A MAJOR PROBLEM. FEAR OF BEING ISOLATED FROM YOUR FAMILY IS STILL A

MAJOR PROBLEM. SO WHILE PEOPLE WILL CELEBRATE AND BE PROUD OF WHO

THEY ARE, AND JUNE IS A GREAT MONTH FOR US TO COME TOGETHER TO

CELEBRATE, WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE WORK IS NOT DONE, JUST AS

WE HAVE NOT ELIMINATED RACISM, WE HAVE NOT ELIMINATED SEXISM, WE

STILL HAVE TO CHALLENGE HOMOPHOBIA THROUGHOUT THIS STATE AND

THROUGHOUT THIS NATION.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR GIVING ME

THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE

GOVERNOR WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROCLAIM THIS PRIDE MONTH, BUT I ALSO

WANT TO REMIND THE MEMBERS THAT WHILE WE CELEBRATE, WE HAVE TO ALSO

LEGISLATE AND WE HAVE TO WORK TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT ALL YOUNGSTERS FEEL

SAFE BEING WHO THEY ARE IN THIS STATE. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

MR. O'DONNELL ON THE RESOLUTION.

MR. O'DONNELL: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WOULD

LIKE TO COMMEND MY DEAR FRIEND, DEBORAH GLICK, FOR HER STRENGTH, FOR

HER COURAGE, FOR HER ABILITY TO SPEAK THE TRUTH AS IT RELATES TO A

POPULATION THAT IS OFTEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT. I'M VERY PROUD TO HAVE

PASSED MARRIAGE EQUALITY. AND FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO DOUBTED I

WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT, OR DOUBTED THAT MY MARRIAGE WOULD STICK,

WE'RE STILL MARRIED, JUST SO YOU KNOW. AND I REMAIN AMAZED THAT THE

WAYS IN WHICH THE INTOLERANCE COMES OUT FROM PEOPLE. AND I WAS

GIVEN AN AWARD IN CALIFORNIA AND A YOUNG MAN GREW UP ON A CATTLE

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

RANCH IN MONTANA TOLD ME THAT WHEN HE CAME OUT TO HIS MOTHER, HIS

MOTHER SAID SHE KNEW AND THAT SHE WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE GAYS AND

LESBIANS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE NOT BORN TO THEIR OWN KIND, WHICH I

THOUGHT WAS A VERY PROFOUND THING FOR A CATTLE RANCHER TO SAY, BECAUSE

THE TRUTH IS IF YOU'RE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN MANY OTHER WAYS,

CHANCES ARE THERE'S A PARENT IN YOUR HOUSE WHO MAY HAVE SHARED THAT

EXPERIENCE. THAT IS NOT -- RARELY THE CASE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHAT WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH IS VERY SERIOUS THESE

DAYS. THERE HAS BEEN A RASH OF SUICIDES IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY

DURING COVID, AND I'M TRYING TO CLEAR UP WHY THAT IS, BUT IT'S

SOMETHING THAT CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AND SO I'M VERY PROUD

TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY, I'M PROUD TO SERVE WITH THIS BODY.

I'M PROUD THAT I PASSED MARRIAGE EQUALITY, AND I'M PROUD THAT WE WILL

PASS THE GENDER RECOGNITION BILL NEXT WEEK. BUT IN THE END, THOSE ARE

ALL INCREMENTAL CHANGES WHEN WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS TO CHANGE

PEOPLE'S HEARTS AND MINDS TO KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT A HARM TO ANYONE.

SO THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS RESOLUTION, AND LET ME JUST ONCE AGAIN

GIVE A SHOUT-OUT TO DEBORAH GLICK FOR HER HERO'S ROLE IN OUR

COMMUNITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

MR. BRONSON ON THE RESOLUTION.

MR. BRONSON: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. FIRST, LET

ME START BY THANKING THE SPONSOR OF THIS RESOLUTION, DEBORAH GLICK, FOR

HER LEADERSHIP, FOR HER STEADFAST ADVOCACY FOR MY COMMUNITY, THE

LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. AND TO ALL MY COLLEAGUES WHO SIGNED ON TO THIS

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

RESOLUTION, IT MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME THAT YOU ARE ALLIES IN OUR FIGHT

FOR FULL EQUALITY. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ME SAY WHAT MY

MANTRA, AND IT IS, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, WHERE

YOU COME FROM, WHO YOU LOVE OR HOW YOU IDENTIFY, WE ALL HAVE DIGNITY.

AND WITH THAT DIGNITY, WE ALL DESERVE EQUITY, JUSTICE, AND AN

OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED. I THANK DEBORAH GLICK FOR PASSING THE SEXUAL

ORIENTATION NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT. IT PASSED AFTER I WAS A MEMBER

OF A LAW FIRM AS A YOUNG ASSOCIATE AND HAD MY MENTOR PARTNER SAY TO

ME, IT'S OKAY WITH ME IF YOU'RE GAY, BUT IF THE OTHER PARTNERS IN THIS

FIRM FIND OUT, THERE WILL BE NO PLACE FOR YOU IN THIS FIRM.

DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT -- OR ON THE BASIS OF OUR

STATUS AS LGBTQ MEMBERS IN EMPLOYMENT, IN HOUSING, IN BANKING AND

ON AND ON, WE ADDRESSED THAT LEGALLY WITH SONDA, BUT WE CONTINUE TO

FACE DISCRIMINATION.

I THANK DANNY O'DONNELL FOR BEING THE CHAMPION AND

THE LEAD IN MARRIAGE EQUALITY. THERE OTHER FOLKS IN GOVERNMENT WHO

WANT TO TAKE THE CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT DANNY O'DONNELL IS THE PERSON

WHO MADE IT HAPPEN. AND TO KEEP THIS PERSONAL STILL, DANNY, I WANT TO

THANK YOU BECAUSE YOUR ADVOCACY FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY ALLOWS ME TO

NOW SAY THAT I'M ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED AS OF THIS WEEKEND.

(APPLAUSE)

SO WE'VE COME A LONG WAYS, BUT THERE IS SO MUCH

MORE WE NEED TO DO, SO MUCH MORE. YOUNG PEOPLE WHO SERVED BY THE

CENTER FOR YOUTH IN ROCHESTER, AND WE HAVE A HOUSING FACILITY

SPECIFICALLY FOR LGBTQ+ YOUTH WHO FIND THEMSELVES NOT ACCEPTED BY

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THEIR FAMILIES, FIND THEMSELVES HOMELESS AND WALKING THE STREETS, FIND

THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED WITHOUT HAVING THE

CENTER FOR YOUTH. AS DANNY MENTIONED, AN UPTICK IN SUICIDE, THE

MURDER OF OUR TRANS MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, IN PARTICULAR TRANS

WOMEN OF COLOR, EACH YEAR. THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WE NEED TO DO. WE

WILL CONTINUE THE WORK LEGISLATIVELY, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO CONTINUE THE

WORK TO HAVE A SOCIETY THAT RECOGNIZES US NO LONGER AS SECOND-CLASS

CITIZENS, BUT AS THE FULL HUMANITY WHICH ALL HAVE AND RECOGNIZES US AS

FULL PARTICIPANTS IN OUR SOCIETY AND OUR COMMUNITY, ALLOWS US TO BE

TRUE TO WHO WE ARE AND LIVE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES.

THANK YOU ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT. I LOOK FORWARD TO

PRIDE MONTH SO I CAN SAY I AM PROUD OF WHO I AM AND I THANK ALL OF

YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THE DIGNITY AND HUMANITY OF EVERY LGBTQ+

PERSON. THANK YOU.

(APPLAUSE)

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. BURDICK ON THE

RESOLUTION.

MR. BURDICK: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, ON THE

RESOLUTION. THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE TALKED ABOUT A VERY DIFFICULT

HISTORY AND HARD-FOUGHT BATTLES THAT HAVE BEEN WON, BUT ALSO THERE'S SO

MUCH MORE TO DO. AND YES, WE DID MOVE FORWARD WITH THE WALKING

WHILE TRANS BILL EARLIER THIS YEAR, BUT AS THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE

SAID, WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO. AND I BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE

RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL OF US, THE STRAIGHT COMMUNITY TO JOIN WITH OUR

FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. THIS IS ABOUT

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

DIGNITY. THIS IS ABOUT TREATING EVERYONE EQUALLY NO MATTER WHO THEY

ARE, AS THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE SAID. WE HAVE A MORAL

RESPONSIBILITY TO DO MORE, AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT IN THE CLOSING DAYS

THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INITIATIVES THAT DEBORAH GLICK AND

DONNY [SIC] O'DONNELL AND OTHERS HAVE SO COURAGEOUSLY MOVED

FORWARD. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T PASS THE GENDER RECOGNITION ACT. AND

I'M VERY PROUD THAT IT NOW INCLUDES A PROVISION THAT I HAD WRITTEN TO

MAKE IT MUCH EASIER FOR TRANS NEW YORKERS BORN OUT-OF-STATE TO

CHANGE THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATES WITHOUT GOING THROUGH AN INVASIVE

PROCESS.

SO YES, WE'VE MADE PROGRESS, BUT THERE STILL IS A LONG

ROAD AHEAD, AND I DO WISH TO COMMEND THE COURAGE, THE FORTITUDE, AND

EVERYTHING WHICH THE SPONSOR AND THOSE WITH HER HAVE DONE. THANK

YOU SO MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MS. BICHOTTE

HERMELYN.

MS. BICHOTTE HERMELYN: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER, FOR ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK ON THIS RESOLUTION. I WANT TO THANK

THE SPONSOR FOR THIS RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF JUNE AS GAY

PRIDE MONTH IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. IN THIS MONTH, WE CELEBRATE

THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND SEXUAL PREFERENCE BY MEMBERS OF

LGBTQ COMMUNITY, AND ACCEPTANCE OF MEMBERS IN THIS COMMUNITY

BY OTHERS.

AS MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW, WHEN I FIRST CAME INTO THE

ASSEMBLY, ONE OF THE FIRST FLAGS THAT I HAD ON MY -- MY DESK WAS THE

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

RAINBOW FLAG. IT WAS TO SHOW PRIDE AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW -- IT

WAS SUPPOSED TO SHOW SUPPORT IN MY PRIDE. AND I CAN TELL YOU, IN

2015 AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE MARRIAGE EQUALITY ACT IN THE STATE OF

NEW YORK, THERE WERE STILL EYES LOOKING AT ME. WHY DO I HAVE THIS

FLAG ON MY DESK? AND I COULD REMEMBER WHEN THE FACT THAT I WAS

ENDORSED BY A LOCAL LGBTQ ORGANIZATION CALLED LAMBDA IN BROOKLYN,

WHEN I WAS RUNNING, THAT ENDORSEMENT WAS THEN SENT BY MY OPPONENT

TO ALL THE PASTORS, RELIGIOUS PASTORS TO USE THAT AGAINST ME. BUT YOU

KNOW WHAT WAS GREAT? ALL THE PASTORS DIDN'T CARE. THEY DIDN'T CARE,

BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE IT'S UN-CHRISTIAN LIKE TO HATE, TO GO AGAINST

SOMEONE BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE, WHETHER IT'S THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION,

THEIR RACE, THEIR GENDER. AND SO THEY EMBRACED THAT ENDORSEMENT.

SO MR. SPEAKER, I WANT TO SAY THAT BEING AN ALLY TO THE

LGBTQ COMMUNITY IS NOT NEW FOR ME. IT'S NOT AN ALL OF A SUDDEN

POPULAR THING. IT'S BEEN ENGRAINED IN ME FOR A VERY LONG TIME TO ACCEPT

EVERYONE FOR WHO THEY ARE. AND IT IS TIME TO RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT THAT

INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY HAVE HAD IN

THIS SOCIETY AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.

SO THIS MONTH, JUNE, MARKS THE 51ST ANNIVERSARY OF

PRIDE MONTH, WHICH BEGAN ON JUNE 28TH, 1970, ONE YEAR FOLLOWING THE

STONEWALL RIOTS WHICH FOUGHT THE MOMENTUM OF THE LGBTQ RIGHTS

MOVEMENT. THE STONEWALL RIOTS WAS AN EVENT IN TIME WHERE PATRONS

OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY DECIDED TO RESIST THE DECADES OF HARASSMENT

AND DISCRIMINATION FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE GOVERNMENT. THE

STONEWALL RIOT TOOK PLACE ON JUNE 28, 1969 AT A BAR ON CHRISTOPHER

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

STREET IN GREENWICH VILLAGE, NEW YORK CITY, CALLED THE STONEWALL

INN. PROTEST AND DEMONSTRATION PURSUED FOR SIX DAYS FROM FRUSTRATED

MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. THE DETERMINATION FOR CHANGES

MOVED -- HAS MOVED THE PENDULUM FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY

RESULTING IN HISTORICAL MILESTONES, SUCH AS SERVING OPENLY IN THE

MILITARY AND THE RIGHT TO SAME SEX MARRIAGE IN THE UNITED STATES.

I CERTAINLY WANT TO THANK OUR CHAMPIONS IN THE

ASSEMBLY: I WANT TO THANK DEBORAH GLICK, I WANT TO THANK DONNY

[SIC] O'DONNELL, I WANT TO THANK RICHARD [SIC] BRONSON AND ALL THE

MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ, BUT ALL THE ADVOCATES WHO'S BEEN LOUD AND

FORWARD ON FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE.

CONGRATULATIONS, ASSEMBLYMAN BRONSON, I WISH I WAS

INVITED. BUT I'M REALLY, REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS RESOLUTION FOR THIS DAY,

FOR THIS MONTH, AND KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS BE AN ALLY AND I THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU.

MS. GONZ�LEZ-ROJAS.

MS. GONZ�LEZ-ROJAS: THANK YOU. I'M PROUD TO

SPEAK ON THIS BILL. I WANT TO THANK THE SPONSOR FOR HER LEADERSHIP, HER

COURAGE AND HER TENACITY, AND BEING A ROLE MODEL FOR SO MANY. I ALSO

WANT TO RECOGNIZE OUR OTHER OPENLY QUEER TRAILBLAZERS HERE IN THE

ASSEMBLY. I AM PROUD TO CONSIDER MYSELF PART OF THE LGBTQ FAMILY

AND I'M PROUD TO REPRESENT ONE OF THE MOST QUEER AND DIVERSE DISTRICTS

IN NEW YORK CITY. WE ARE THE HOME TO THE SECOND LARGEST PRIDE

PARADE IN NEW YORK CITY, IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE FRONT

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

LINES OF ACTIVISM. PEOPLE LIKE JULIO RIVERA IN MY COMMUNITY WAS

MURDERED BY WHITE SUPREMACIST FOR BOTH BEING LATINO AND FOR BEING

QUEER. AND AS THIS RESOLUTION REMINDS US HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO UPLIFT

THE COURAGE, THE FIGHT, AND THE RESILIENCE OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, I

AM SO PROUD THAT ONE OF MY FIRST BILLS THAT WAS PASSED IN THIS ASSEMBLY

IN THIS CHAMBER WAS A BILL THAT PROVIDED DIGNITY AND RESPECT TO OUR

TRANS COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO USE THEIR PREFERRED NAME AND PRONOUN

ON SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS THEIR UTILITY BILLS.

SO AS MANY HAVE SAID, WE HAVE DONE HISTORIC THINGS

HERE AS A BODY, BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WORK TO DO. I'M PROUD TO

FIGHT ALONGSIDE OUR LGBTQ FAMILY. I AM PROUD TO FIGHT FOR DIGNITY,

FOR EQUITY, AND FOR JUSTICE. AND I CAN'T -- I'M SO PROUD TO CELEBRATE

PRIDE MONTH THIS YEAR AND MOVING FORWARD. SO THANK YOU TO THE

SPONSOR AND ALL THE AMAZING TRAILBLAZERS WHO HAVE BEEN AT THE FRONT

LINES OF THIS WORK. I'M PROUD TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. DESTEFANO ON THE

RESOLUTION.

MR. DESTEFANO. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS RESOLUTION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS RESOLUTION

IS TO BRING PUBLIC AWARENESS TO THE FACT THAT IN THE UNITED STATES,

THERE'S OVER 43 MILLION PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS AND FALL BELOW THE

POVERTY LINE. THIS MEANS THAT MILLIONS OF AMERICAN -- A MILLION

AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO FULFILL BASIC NEEDS. WHILE MOST OF US,

IF NOT ALL, THINK THAT THERE'S NOTHING SECOND NATURE TO HAVING A MEAL AT

THE END OF THE DAY, OR BREAKFAST WHEN YOU'RE WAKING UP IN THE

MORNING, THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE FOR EVERYONE. IN NEW YORK STATE, THERE

IS OVER 90,000 -- AS OF 2020, THERE WAS OVER 90,000 NEW YORKERS THAT

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

WERE HOMELESS. THEY ALSO HAVE TO STRESS ABOUT HAVING THE BASICS IN

LIFE, SOMETHING THAT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE. THEN AS COVID

CAME, FOR MANY OF US, THIS STARTED CREEPING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HOME,

STARTING TO SEE OUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS STARTING TO STRUGGLE. I

ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO KEEP THESE INDIVIDUALS IN MIND AND DONATE TIME

OR RESOURCES WHEN POSSIBLE TO SHOW THAT OUR COMMUNITIES ARE READY,

WILLING, AND ABLE TO FULFILL THOSE NEEDS THAT ARE NEEDED BY OUR FRIENDS

AND NEIGHBORS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU, MR.

DESTEFANO.

MS. HUNTER TO EXPLAIN HER VOTE.

MS. HUNTER: YES, THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. TO

EXPLAIN MY VOTE. AFTER THE CONFLICT IN VIETNAM, IT TOOK MANY YEARS TO

FULLY REALIZE THE EXTENT OF THE HEALTH DAMAGE DONE TO SERVICEMEN AND

WOMEN DUE TO EXPOSURE TO AGENT ORANGE. UNFORTUNATELY, A SIMILAR

PATTERN HAS EMERGED IN OUR VETERANS WHO SERVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST

THROUGHOUT THE CONFLICTS OF THE PAST 30 YEARS. THE PRACTICE OF USING

BURN PITS TO DISPOSE OF TOXIC MATERIALS HAS CAUSED A LITANY OF CHRONIC

ILLNESSES FOR OUR RETURNING VETERANS. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THESE

ILLNESSES, IT OFTEN TAKES TIME FOR THE CONDITION TO EMERGE, TO GET

DIAGNOSED, AND EVEN TO DETERMINE THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE. THIS

LEGISLATION WILL ENSURE OUR VETERANS CAN ACCESS NEW YORK COURTS WITH A

CAUSE OF ACTION WITHOUT BEING BARRED BY THE TYPICAL PERIOD OF

LIMITATIONS. I WILL BE VOTING IN THE AFFIRMATIVE AND ASK MY COLLEAGUES

TO DO THE SAME. THANK YOU.

SIMPLY BECAUSE OF TECHNICAL ERRORS WHERE THE CLERK DID NOT SEND IN

THEY HAD TO RESEND IT AND BECAUSE THEY GOT IN LATE, THEY SUFFERED A

$500,000 PENALTY. A NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SIMILAR

LEGISLATION ON YOUR SIDE OF THE AISLE, (INAUDIBLE), SEVERAL ON OUR SIDE.

WE DID A COUPLE OF THESE IN THE BUDGET. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY WE

ONLY DID A COUPLE AND NOT ALL OF THEM. BUT I AM GLAD WE'RE DOING THIS

BILL HERE TODAY.

BUT YOU ALL KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO GET A CALL FROM THE

GOVERNOR'S COUNSEL'S OFFICE PROBABLY AROUND THANKSGIVING OR

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

CHRISTMASTIME, LIKE HE HAS IN THE PAST SAYING HE'S VETOING THE BILL

BECAUSE THE FUNDING SHOULD BE DEALT WITH IN THE BUDGET. IT'S A

COMMON THEME YOU HEAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET

THAT SAME CALL AGAIN THIS YEAR. YEAR AFTER YEAR, WE NEVER PUT IT IN THE

BUDGET. SO IF THE GOVERNOR WANTS TO PUNISH KIDS, IT'S CERTAINLY HIS

RIGHT -- CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO VETO THE BILL. IT'S WRONG, BUT IT'S HIS

RIGHT. BUT IT'S ALSO OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO OVERRIDE A VETO, AND WE

NEVER DO. WHY NOT? WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF? HIM? REALLY? WE'RE

BASICALLY SAYING WE'RE OKAY WITH THE VETO AND HURTING THE KIDS FOR THEY

-- THEY'RE DOING NOTHING WRONG. WE'RE CHOOSE -- YOU'RE CHOOSING THE

GOVERNOR OVER THE KIDS. OVERRIDING THAT VETO WILL SAY WE'RE AN EQUAL,

CO-BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, BUT IT APPEARS THAT WE'RE OKAY LETTING THE

GOVERNOR HAVE ALL THE POWER. HAVEN'T WE CEDED ENOUGH POWER IN THIS

LEGISLATURE TO HIM ALREADY OVER THE PAST 15 MONTHS? ENOUGH IS

ENOUGH. IT'S TIME TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNOR THAT WE'RE A

CO-EQUAL BRANCH AND WE CAN SHOW IT HERE TODAY THE KIDS THAT WE STAND

WITH THEM OVER THIS GOVERNOR. YOU CAN DO THAT BY OVERRIDING THE

VETOES WHEN THE TIME COMES LATER IN THE YEAR, BECAUSE THE VETOES ARE

DEFINITELY GOING TO COME.

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING

OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME OR RESULT. WE

KNOW THE OUTCOME AND RESULT, WE GOT -- DOING IT THIS WAY OVER AND

OVER AGAIN. IF WE WANT A DIFFERENT OUTCOME OR RESULT WE HAVE TWO

CHOICES: ONE, INSIST THAT THESE BILLS, ALL OUR BILLS ARE INCLUDED IN THE

BUDGET LIKE THE OTHER ONES WERE AND -- AND NOT JUST A COUPLE, ALL THE

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

BILLS; OR TWO, WE COULD OVERRIDE THE VETO TO FORFEIT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE

BUDGET. SO, LET THE --

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. PALMESANO, HOW

DO YOU VOTE?

MR. PALMESANO: I VOTE RIGHT -- I VOTE YES

BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND WE NEED TO OVERRIDE IT --

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. PALMESANO IN THE

(THE CLERK RECORDED THE VOTE.)

MR. GOODELL TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. THIS BILL ALLOWS

CREDIT UNIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXCELSIOR LINKED DEPOSIT PROGRAM,

WHICH ESSENTIALLY ALLOWS MUNICIPALITIES TO MAKE SUBSTANTIAL DEPOSITS IN

CREDIT UNIONS, OPENING UP THE DIRECT COMPETITION OF FEDERAL UNIONS

WITH OUR COMMERCIAL BANKS. AND I WOULD POINT OUT THAT CREDIT UNIONS

ENJOY A SPECIAL ADVANTAGE IN NEW YORK STATE THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE TO

ANY OF OUR PRIVATE BANKS. ALL OF OUR CREDIT UNIONS ARE TAX EXEMPT.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THEY DON'T PAY ANY TAXES. ON THE OTHER HAND, OUR PRIVATE COMMUNITY

BANKS, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ALL PAY PROPERTY TAXES. THEY ALL PAY INCOME

TAXES. THEY ALL SUPPORT THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

AND SO WHILE CREDIT UNIONS WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED

TO ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO GROUP THEIR OWN FUNDS TO HELP OTHER EMPLOYEES,

THIS BILL OPENS THE DOOR TO CREDIT UNIONS BEING INVOLVED IN DIRECT

COMPETITION WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR THAT ACTUALLY PAYS THE TAXES THAT ARE

BEING USED TO MAKE THESE DEPOSITS. AND I THINK THAT'S AN INAPPROPRIATE

ROLE FOR CREDIT UNIONS AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE CONTINUE TO

RECOGNIZE THAT OUR COMMUNITY BANKS, OUR NEW YORK STATE CHARTERED

BANKS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE PAYING TAXES AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WE'VE

ALLOCATED IN THE PAST THIS PARTICIPATION AND SHOULD IN THE FUTURE. FOR

THAT REASON, I'LL OPPOSE IT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT MY COLLEAGUES

ALSO VOTE AGAINST IT. THANK YOU, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: THANK YOU, MRS.

PEOPLES-STOKES.

(THE CLERK RECORDED THE VOTE.)

MR. GOODELL TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. RATHER THAN LAY

ASIDE AND DEBATE THIS BILL, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE, SINCE IT'S A

LOCAL BILL, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A VOTE RIGHT AWAY; HOWEVER, I WANTED

TO EXPLAIN WHY WE ASKED FOR A PARTY VOTE. WE HAVE SEVERAL SITUATIONS

IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHERE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES COME TO US AND

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

ASK PERMISSION TO WAIVE ANY OF THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENTS

WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS. AND MOST OF US RECOGNIZE

THAT THE PURPOSE OF REQUIRING COMPETITIVE BIDDING IS TO ENSURE THAT THE

TAXPAYERS GET THE BEST TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PRICE, TO AVOID FAVORITISM,

AND AVOID THE POTENTIAL FOR FRAUD OR ABUSE. AND I'M NOT UP HERE TO SAY

THAT ANYONE'S BEING PAID OFF IN ANY OF THOSE MUNICIPALITIES OR ANYTHING

LIKE THAT, BUT A SMART SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T

HAVE THAT POTENTIAL FOR FAVORITISM, FRAUD OR ABUSE, AND THAT WE'RE

GETTING THE BEST PRICE FOR THE TAXPAYERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE

CITY OF BUFFALO CAN'T PUT ITS BONDS OUT TO COMPETITIVE BID JUST LIKE

HUNDREDS OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES AND OTHER ENTITIES ALL

ACROSS NEW YORK STATE AND, THEREFORE, I AM OPPOSING THIS AND

RECOMMEND THAT MY COLLEAGUES ALSO DO THE SAME. THANK YOU, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: MR. GOODELL IN THE

NEGATIVE.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES TO EXPLAIN HER VOTE.

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

SPEAKER, FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN MY VOTE. I WANT TO JUST MAKE

IT, YOU KNOW, REALLY CLEAR THAT THERE'S NO ONE WHO IS MORE DISAPPOINTED

BY PEOPLE WHO LACK CONSCIENCE AND SERVE IN GOVERNMENT ROLES AND USE

THAT POSITION IN GOVERNMENT ROLES TO EITHER ABUSE THE SYSTEM OR ABUSE

THE TAXPAYERS. AND I CAN ALSO ASSURE YOU, I -- I PERSONALLY KNOW EVERY

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER IN THE GREAT CITY OF BUFFALO, NOT JUST IN YOUR ROLE

AS COUNCIL MEMBERS, BUT IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. AND ALSO, QUITE

FRANKLY, KNOW THE COMPTROLLER AND THE MAYOR. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO

ANYTHING THAT'S YET UNFAIR. THIS IS ABOUT AN OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP THE CITY

GOING AND PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO THE TAXPAYERS AND TO ENSURE THAT WHAT

PEOPLE PAY FOR, THEY GET. AND WE ARE GETTING MUCH BETTER AT THAT IN THE

GREAT CITY OF BUFFALO BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT, WROTE AND

SIGNED AND SENT OVER HERE THE HOME RULE MESSAGE ASKING US TO DO THIS.

AND SO WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MY COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE, I HONOR

YOUR OPINION, I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO HONOR MINE AND I KNOW AT SOME

POINT, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY NEEDS SOMETHING FOR THEIR LOCAL

GOVERNMENT, I'M GOING TO HONOR YOURS AND I JUST THAT -- WOULD ASK THAT

YOU WOULD HONOR OURS, AS WELL.

WITH THAT, MR. SPEAKER, I'M PLEASED TO VOTE IN SUPPORT

OF THE CITY THAT I REPRESENT WHO ASKED ME AND THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY TO

DO SOMETHING IN THEIR INTERESTS. THIS IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE CITIZENS OF

THE CITY OF BUFFALO. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MS. GONZ�LEZ-ROJAS: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

I WANT TO THANK MY FELLOW PRIME SPONSOR IN THE SENATE FOR HIS

PARTNERSHIP ON THIS BILL. THIS LEGISLATION IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE AS

LEGISLATORS MUST HOLD THE VARIOUS EXPERIENCE OF OUR CONSTITUENTS, OUR

LOSS, THEIR PAIN, THEIR NEEDS, AND SEEK TO MAKE MEANING OF IT AND THEN

TAKE ACTION. LIAN SHALALA GRAVELLE WAS A CONSTITUENT OF THE SENATOR'S

AND SHE WAS A LOVING MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN, CHARLES AND ENZO.

TRAGICALLY, LIAN DIED JUST SIX MONTHS AFTER GIVING BIRTH FROM

COMPLICATIONS FROM PREECLAMPSIA. THIS BILL WOULD ADD PREECLAMPSIA

TO THE LIST OF HEALTH CARE MATTERS INCLUDED IN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

HEALTH CARE AND WELLNESS EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAM. PUBLIC

AWARENESS AND EDUCATION WILL HELP EQUIP THOSE MOST AT RISK TO BE ABLE

TO DETECT, PREVENT, AND SEEK APPROPRIATE MEDICAL TREATMENT.

AS A REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH ADVOCATE, I THINK

OF LIAN AND HER FAMILY TODAY. SHE WAS A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND MATERNAL HEALTH. I BELIEVE WITH THIS LEGISLATION

WE ARE HONORING HER NAME AND THE LOVE SHE HAS FOR HER WORK AND HER

FAMILY. I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS THE AISLE FOR

COSPONSORING THIS LEGISLATION AND RECOGNIZING WHERE WE CAN WORK

TOGETHER AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITIES. I PROUDLY VOTE IN

MATERNAL HEALTH. THANK YOU.

MS. KELLES: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I JUST

WANTED TO RISE AND EXPLAIN WHY THIS -- THIS BILL IS SO IMPORTANT AND

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THANK ALL MY COLLEAGUES AND COSPONSORS FOR THIS BILL. IT IS SOMETHING

WE HAVE SEEN EXACERBATED IN THE LAST YEAR, SPECIFICALLY A TREMENDOUS

DEARTH OF DIRECT CARE AND HOME CARE AIDES THAT HAS LED TO ENUMERABLE

NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE HAD TO ENTER INTO INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS

OR GO WITHOUT CARE. WE'VE ALSO SEEN THAT THERE IS A CRISIS, A PROFOUND

CRISIS, OF A LACK OF CHILD CARE, AND THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT IS

PREDOMINANTLY FILLED BY WOMEN, WOMEN OF COLOR; OVER 60 PERCENT OF

THOSE WHO WORK IN THIS FIELD RECEIVE SOME FORM OF SOCIAL SERVICES; 98

PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS FIELD ARE WOMEN. THE LACK OF CARE, DIRECT

CARE, HOME CARE, CHILD CARE HAS ALL -- ALSO LED TO A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN

WOMEN IN THE WORKFORCE IN THE LAST YEAR THAT COVID HAS EXACERBATED.

SO THIS BILL WOULD EVALUATE THIS SETTING IN ALL OF THESE

-- ALL OF THESE INDUSTRIES AND ALSO CREATE A LONG-TERM STRATEGY FOR

ADDRESSING BOTH THE PROFOUND LACK OF LIVING WAGE IN ALL OF THESE AREAS

AND THE CAUSES OF WHY THERE'S SUCH A SHORTAGE, AND INCREASE THE NUMBER

OF INDIVIDUALS IN THESE FIELDS, WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED FOR EQUITY IN

OUR WORKFORCE. SO I STAND IN SUPPORT OF THIS, OF COURSE, AND I VOTE IN

THE AFFIRMATIVE AND I HOPE THAT ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL AS WELL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

(THE CLERK RECORDED THE VOTE.)

MR. GOODELL TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. I WILL BE VOTING NO

ON THIS MEDICAID EXPANSION. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT LICENSED CLINICAL

SOCIAL WORKERS DO GOOD WORK, BUT WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN NEW YORK IS

THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT EXPANDING MEDICAID

COVERAGE, THE ANSWER IS YES. AND UNFORTUNATELY AS A RESULT, THE

MEDICAID COVERAGE PROGRAM IN NEW YORK IS THE MOST GENEROUS IN THE

NATION AND, BY FAR, THE MOST EXPENSIVE. IF YOU TAKE THE ENTIRE MEDICAID

COSTS IN FLORIDA PLUS TEXAS, BOTH OF WHOM ARE SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER THAN

NEW YORK STATE, YOU WOULD FIND THAT OUR MEDICAID COSTS EXCEED

THEIRS. ON A PER CAPITA BASIS, IT'S THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION. WE'RE

ALMOST AS EXPENSIVE AS CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS TWO AND A HALF TIMES LARGER

THAN WE ARE. SO EVERY TIME WE SAY, YEAH, LET'S EXPAND IT, LET'S EXPAND

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

IT, LET'S EXPAND IT, LET'S REMEMBER THAT WE'RE ADDING A HUGE ADDITIONAL

COST TO OUR TAXPAYERS ALL ACROSS NEW YORK STATE.

SO WHILE I APPRECIATE THE GREAT WORK THEY DO, I THINK

WE ALSO HAVE TO EXERCISE SOME FISCAL RESTRAINT AT SOME POINT IN TIME

AND THAT'S WHY I WILL BE VOTING NO. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. GOODELL

IN THE NEGATIVE.

MR. ABINANTI TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. ABINANTI: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I'M

PLEASED TO SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION WHICH ALLOWS SOCIAL WORKERS TO BE

COVERED BY MEDICAID. FIRST OF ALL, IT WILL MAKE ANOTHER PROFESSION

AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD PRIVATE SERVICES AND DON'T HAVE

THE INSURANCE TO COVER THOSE SERVICES. AND SECONDLY, THIS MAY ACTUALLY

REDUCE THE COST OF MEDICAID BY ALLOWING A LOWER COST PROFESSIONAL

RATHER THAN SOME OF THE OTHER PROFESSIONALS WHO NEED TO BE ACCESSED

BECAUSE THEY ARE COVERED BY MEDICAID. SO I AM VERY PLEASED TO

SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION AND VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THANK YOU.

MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. PLEASE RECORD THE

ON THIS BILL WHICH EXTENDS VETERAN BENEFITS TO EMPLOYEES OF THE

MEMBERS OF THE U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE AND NOT MEMBERS OF THE

MILITARY. THOSE WHO SUPPORT THIS BILL KNOW THAT THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT DEFINES CERTAIN GROUPS OF NON-MILITARY MEMBERS AS BEING

VETERANS, ELIGIBLE FOR VETERAN BENEFITS OR THE VA HOSPITAL. AND WHILE

THAT MAY BE TRUE FOR FEDERAL BENEFIT PURPOSES, IN NEW YORK STATE WE

HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF RECOGNIZING THOSE WHO SERVED IN THE MILITARY IN

PARTICULAR. AND IN -- EVEN WITHIN THAT CATEGORY OF THOSE WHO SERVED

WITHIN THE MILITARY, WE PROVIDE SPECIAL BENEFITS TO THOSE VETERANS THAT

SERVED IN A COMBAT, RECOGNIZING THE UNIQUE DANGER THAT THEY SERVE.

NOW, NOAA PROVIDES GREAT BACKGROUND SUPPORT FOR

OUR MILITARY, NO DOUBT, DOES A LOT OF GREAT WORK FOR ALL OF US IN TERMS OF

WEATHER PREDICTIONS AND WEATHER DATA, BUT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: PROCEED.

MR. ANDERSON: SINCE THE START OF THE COVID-19

PANDEMIC, NURSING HOMES WERE HIT HARD. MANY OF OUR LOVED ONES

PASSED AWAY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND PART OF THIS RESULTED

FROM THE LACK OF PREPAREDNESS BY NURSING HOMES AS THEY WERE

UNDERSTAFFED AND HAD VERY LITTLE RESOURCES TO FUNCTION THROUGHOUT THE

PANDEMIC. AND SO WHAT MY BILL WOULD DO IS DIRECT THE NEW YORK

STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO CONTINUE TO CONDUCT ENERGY AUDITS AND

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS REVIEWS OF NURSING HOMES ACROSS THE STATE OF

NEW YORK. AND THESE AUDITS AND REVIEWS WOULD PROVIDE DATA THAT THE

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE NEED TO SERVE AS A BASIS TO

CREATE NEW PROGRAMS TO HELP BETTER THESE FACILITIES -- BETTER PREPARE

THESE FACILITIES FOR FUTURE CRISES, AS WELL AS ENSURE THAT RESIDENTS OF

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

SPEAKER. YOU HAVE BEEN MOVING US RIGHT ALONG HERE THIS AFTERNOON. IF

I COULD HAVE COLLEAGUES' ATTENTION NOW, WE WILL JUST ANNOUNCE OUR NEXT

PIECE OF WORK FOR TODAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR DEBATE CALENDAR,

EVERYONE HAS ONE AVAILABLE ON THEIR DESK. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH

RULES REPORT NO. 163, ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 1677 BY MR. GOTTFRIED;

FOLLOWED BY RULES REPORT NO. 228, ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 7236 BY MR.

THIELE; FOLLOWED BY RULES REPORT NO. 260, ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 7536 BY

MR. DINOWITZ. AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

CALENDAR NO. 190, THAT'S ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 118 AND IT'S BY MS. PAULIN.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THANK YOU.

PAGE 7, RULES REPORT NO. 163, THE CLERK WILL READ.

THE CLERK: SENATE NO. S02008-B, RULES REPORT

NO. 163, SENATOR JACKSON (GOTTFRIED, SAYEGH--A01677A). AN ACT TO

AMEND THE INSURANCE LAW, IN RELATION TO REQUIRING SPECIFICATION

BETWEEN PARTIAL APPROVAL OF MEDICAL CLAIMS AND A DENIAL OF MEDICAL

CLAIMS ON WRITTEN NOTICES TO AN INSURER.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MS. WALSH.

MS. WALSH: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER.

ON THE BILL.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: ON THE BILL.

MS. WALSH: SO THIS IS A RELATIVELY STRAIGHTFORWARD

BILL. WHAT IT DOES IS, WE'VE ALL GOTTEN A DENIAL OF CLAIMS, I -- PROBABLY

ALL OF US, FROM OUR INSURANCE COMPANIES FROM TIME TO TIME AND IT SAYS

ON THE TOP, DENIAL OF CLAIM. BUT WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES IS THAT IF AN

INSURANCE COMPANY THINKS THAT PART OF THE CLAIM OUGHT TO BE APPROVED,

THEY HAVE TO -- THEY HAVE TO PAY AS MUCH OF THE CLAIM AS THEY APPROVE.

SO WHAT THIS BILL SAYS IS, IT WANTS TO CHANGE THE NOTICE SO THAT IT'S NOT

CONFUSING TO THE INSURED SO THAT THE BILL NEEDS TO -- OR THE NOTICE NEEDS

TO INDICATE WHETHER IT'S A DENIAL OR A PARTIAL APPROVAL OF THAT CLAIM, AND

IT ALSO MAKES SOME CHANGES IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE FONT AND SOME

OTHER NOTICE REQUIREMENTS. SO IT'S A -- IT'S A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD BILL.

THE CONCERN IS THAT BECAUSE PLANS ARE ALREADY

REQUIRED TO PAY THE UNDISPUTED PORTION OF A CLAIM AND TO PROVIDE NOTICE

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

REQUIRE -- REGARDING THE DISPUTED PORTION OF THE CLAIM, THE CHANGES

PROPOSED IN THE BILL, INCLUDING THE NOTICE TITLES, DO NOT APPEAR TO

PROVIDE ANY BENEFIT TO CONSUMERS, AND THERE'S ALSO A CONCERN THAT THIS

IS GOING TO REQUIRE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE WORK TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO

THE FORMS. AND, YOU KNOW, ANY TIME THAT WE INCREASE OR CHANGE

REGULATIONS THROUGH LEGISLATION LIKE THIS, IT'S JUST MORE OF AN

ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN AND IT BECOMES, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WHAT WE'VE

SOMETIMES CALLED THE DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS. SO THAT'S REALLY THE

CONCERN ABOUT THE BILL, AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S BASICALLY IT. SO

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: READ THE LAST

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

NO. 228, GAUGHRAN (THIELE, GRIFFIN--A07236A). AN ACT TO AMEND THE

PUBLIC AUTHORITIES LAW, IN RELATION TO THE RESULTS OF AN ANNUAL STRESS

TEST OF ALL SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT OUTAGE AND RESTORATION MANAGEMENT AND

COMMUNICATIONS OF THE LONG ISLAND POWER AUTHORITY.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. MANY PEOPLE

BELIEVE THAT DOING AN ANNUAL STRESS TEST ON SYSTEMS TO ENSURE THAT THEY

CAN WITHSTAND AND ANTICIPATE, REASONABLY ANTICIPATE NATURAL DISASTERS IS

A GREAT IDEA, AND I WOULD AGREE WITH THEM. THE CONCERN THAT MANY OF

US HAVE ON THIS PARTICULAR BILL, HOWEVER, IS IT IMPOSES A $250,000 A DAY

FINE IF THE STRESS TEST IS NOT PERFORMED ON TIME. AND THAT FINE ALONE IS

GOING TO CREATE STRESS, BUT AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT KIND. AND ULTIMATELY

WHEN WE IMPOSE HUGE FINES ON A PUBLIC UTILITY, IT HURTS THE CUSTOMERS.

EVEN IF WE SAY IN THE LAW YOU CAN'T CHARGE THAT FINE BACK TO THE

CUSTOMERS, WHAT HAPPENS IS, THE UTILITY, IF THEY HAVE TO PAY A

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FINE, DON'T HAVE THAT MONEY AVAILABLE TO ACTUALLY

IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE, THE VERY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE WANT TO SEE

IMPROVED.

AND SO WE HAVE A GREAT CATCH-22. IF YOU DON'T DO THE

STRESS TEST ON TIME, WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AVAILABLE

TO IMPROVE THE THINGS THAT THE STRESS TEST INDICATE THAT YOU OUGHT TO

IMPROVE. SO SUPPORT THE IDEA, THE FINE IS UNREASONABLE AND

UNFORTUNATELY AS A RESULT, WILL HURT CONSUMERS AND FOR THAT REASON, I

WILL BE VOTING NO. THANK YOU, SIR.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: THANK YOU, MR.

WOULD DESIRE TO BE AN EXCEPTION. IF SO, THEY SHOULD CONTACT THE

MAJORITY LEADER'S OFFICE AND THEIR VOTE WILL BE PROPERLY RECORDED.

(THE CLERK RECORDED THE VOTE.)

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. THIELE TO

EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. THIELE: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER, TO EXPLAIN

MY VOTE ON THIS BILL. I -- I'M GLAD THAT THERE IS -- SEEMS TO BE GENERAL

CONSENSUS ABOUT WHAT THIS BILL IS ATTEMPTING TO TRY TO DO, WHICH IS TO

100

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

ENSURE THAT AN ANNUAL SUCCESSFUL STRESS TEST IS PERFORMED FOR OUTAGE

MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. WE HAD A COMPLETE AND

TOTAL MELTDOWN ON LONG ISLAND WITH A MERE TROPICAL STORM. NOT

SUPERSTORM SANDY, NOT HURRICANE GLORIA, A TROPICAL STORM WHICH

LITERALLY CREATED HARDSHIPS FOR MILLIONS OF LONG ISLANDERS AND COST

LONG ISLANDERS A LOT OF MONEY. SO I -- I THINK WE HAVE AGREEMENT ON

THAT. BUT WITH REGARD TO THE FINE, I NEED TO POINT OUT TWO THINGS: ONE

IS THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE LONG ISLAND POWER AUTHORITY

WHICH, BY THE WAY, THE LONG ISLAND POWER AUTHORITY SUPPORTS THIS BILL

AND HAS WORKED WITH US ON THE LANGUAGE, BUT THE PSE&G LONG ISLAND

HAS LITERALLY TAKEN TENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF

COMPENSATION UNDER THE PREMISE THAT THE SYSTEM THAT THEY PROVIDED

WAS READY TO DEAL WITH A TROPICAL STORM SUCH AS ISAIAS. THEY LIED.

THEY WERE WRONG. AND THAT -- THAT IS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

OF RATEPAYER DOLLARS THAT GOT PAID TO THEM IN THE WAY OF A BONUS.

SECONDLY, THE KIND OF HARDSHIP AND LOSSES THAT

BUSINESSES AND RATEPAYERS SEE WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS IS SUBSTANTIAL.

AND I WOULD JUST ARGUE THAT IN THE FACE OF WHAT PSE&G LONG ISLAND

HAS COLLECTED UNDER THE EXISTING CONTRACT, AS WELL AS THE HARDSHIP AND

FINANCIAL LOSSES TO SMALL BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUAL RATEPAYERS THAT

OCCURS WHEN A COMPANY LIKE PSE&G DOES NOT DO WHAT THEY CONTRACTED

AND WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO IS -- IS -- MAKES THE FINE OF

$250,000 A DAY AS A DETERRENT FOR THIS KIND OF EGREGIOUS BEHAVIOR --

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. THIELE,

HOW DO YOU VOTE?

101

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MR. THIELE: -- MAKES THAT FINE ULTIMATELY

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

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. THIELE IN

THE AFFIRMATIVE.

MR. BROWN TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. BROWN: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I RISE TO

EXPLAIN MY VOTE ON THIS BILL. I WANT TO THANK THE SPONSOR OF THIS BILL

AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE AND MY FLOOR

LEADER, THIS FINE IS REALLY A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RATEPAYERS ON

LONG ISLAND ARE PROTECTED FROM THE MISMANAGEMENT OF THE LONG ISLAND

POWER AUTHORITY. WHEN THIS TROPICAL STORM HIT, THE UTILITY AND ITS

CONTRACTUAL MANAGER WERE COMPLETELY CAUGHT FLATFOOTED. AND THAT'S

BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM OF COMMUNICATION ABSOLUTELY JUST CRASHED. THERE

WAS NO WAY FOR RATEPAYERS TO FIND OUT WHEN THEIR POWER WAS GOING TO

BE TURNED ON, HOW SOON IT WAS GOING TO BE TURNED ON, AND IT COMPLETELY

CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD. IT'S ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE

FOR A PUBLIC UTILITY LIKE LIPA TO OPERATE THE WAY IT DOES. SO I URGE MY

COLLEAGUES TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THIS ON -- MY COLLEAGUES ON BOTH SIDES OF

THE AISLE, BECAUSE IT WILL FORCE LIPA TO ACTUALLY MANAGE ITS AFFAIRS THE

WAY WE ALL EXPECT TO. WE EXPECT OUR LIGHTS TO BE ON IN OUR HOMES

EVERY DAY WITHOUT QUESTION, NOTWITHSTANDING A TROPICAL STORM THAT

DAMAGED LONG ISLAND THE WAY IT DID. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE

OPPORTUNITY AND I'M VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS MEASURE.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. BROWN IN

THE AFFIRMATIVE.

MRS. GRIFFIN: THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO

EXPLAIN MY VOTE. I THANK THE -- MY COLLEAGUE FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE

FLOOR. ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HOLD LIPA ACCOUNTABLE TO THE RATEPAYERS

IS ESSENTIAL. IF IT TAKES THESE FINES TO GET THEM TO DO THEIR JOB

APPROPRIATELY AND CORRECTLY, THEN THAT -- SO BE IT. LAST SUMMER THIS

STORM WAS DISASTROUS FOR THE LONG ISLAND RATEPAYERS. ALL OVER --

THROUGHOUT LONG ISLAND, PEOPLE LOST POWER. ELDERLY DIDN'T HAVE

POWER, PEOPLE THAT WERE SICK. PEOPLE LOST MERCHANDISE, YOU KNOW,

BUSINESSES WERE AFFECTED AND FOR THESE REASONS, I VOTE IN THE

AFFIRMATIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MRS. GRIFFIN

IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

MR. BURDICK TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. BURDICK: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. TO

EXPLAIN MY VOTE. LIKE MY COLLEAGUES ON LONG ISLAND, WESTCHESTER

COUNTY IS SO FREQUENTLY VICTIMIZED BY BREAKDOWNS IN THE SYSTEM, AND

LET ALONE PLANNING FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

EXISTING DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM DOES HAVE THE STRENGTH, HAS THE ABILITY TO

WITHSTAND THE STORMS THAT ARE BECOMING FAR MORE FREQUENT AND FAR MORE

DESTRUCTIVE IN THEIR PATH. AND SO I WISH TO THANK THE SPONSOR FOR

BRINGING THIS LEGISLATION FORWARD. A STRESS TEST IS SOMETHING THAT

SHOULD BE BENEFICIAL NOT ONLY FOR THE RATEPAYERS, BUT ACTUALLY FOR OUR

ELECTRIC SERVICE PROVIDERS THEMSELVES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I VOTE

IN FAVOR.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. IN ADDITION TO THE

VOTES IN THE AFFIRMATIVE ON THE FLOOR, PLEASE RECORD THE FOLLOWING

COLLEAGUES VOTING IN FAVOR OF THIS LEGISLATION: MR. DESTEFANO, MR.

FITZPATRICK, MR. MIKULIN, MS. MILLER, MR. MONTESANO, AND MR. SMITH.

THANK YOU, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: SO NOTED.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER VOTES? ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS.

(THE CLERK ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS.)

THE BILL IS PASSED.

PAGE 12, RULES REPORT NO. 260, THE CLERK WILL READ.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY NO. A07536, RULES REPORT

NO. 260, DINOWITZ, GALEF, CYMBROWITZ, SILLITTI, ENGLEBRIGHT,

ZINERMAN, DAVILA, FAHY. AN ACT TO AMEND THE PENAL LAW, IN RELATION

TO THE FORGERY OF IMMUNIZATION RECORDS.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: AN

EXPLANATION IS A REQUESTED, MR. DINOWITZ.

MR. DINOWITZ: SURE. AS I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW, A

NUMBER OF RECENT REPORTS HAVE SHED LIGHT ON THE ESCALATING TREND OF

COUNTERFEIT OR OTHERWISE FRAUDULENT VACCINATION CARDS IN NEW YORK AND

AROUND THE NATION. UNDER THESE DISGUSTING SCHEMES, INDIVIDUALS SELL OR

DISTRIBUTE FORGED COVID-19 VACCINATION CARDS THAT ARE NORMALLY

PROVIDED UPON IMMUNIZATION AND BEAR A CDC SIGNATURE -- INSIGNIA.

THESE FALSIFIED CARDS ARE CONCERNING BECAUSE OF THE DELETERIOUS IMPACT

ON OUR PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE PUBLIC'S TRUST WHEN PARTICIPATING IN THE

104

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

ACTIVITIES OR ATTENDING VENUES THAT REQUIRE PROOF OF VACCINATION.

SO THIS BILL WOULD CLARIFY EXISTING FORGERY-RELATED

SECTIONS IN PENAL LAW TO EXPLICITLY MAKE CLEAR THAT FORGING OR

POSSESSING A -- POSSESSING A FORGED IMMUNIZATION RECORD, INCLUDING

BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE COVID-19 VACCINATION RECORD CARD, SHALL BE

CONSIDERED A CLASS C OR CLASS D FELONY DEPENDING THE NUMBER OF

FORGED RECORDS.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: SHH. CAN WE

PLEASE HAVE QUIET IN THE CHAMBER?

MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU. WOULD THE SPONSOR

YIELD?

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR.

DINOWITZ, DO YOU YIELD?

MR. DINOWITZ: YES.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THE SPONSOR

YIELDS.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, MR. DINOWITZ. WHAT IS

THE CURRENT CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR CREATING A FALSE VACCINATION CARD?

MR. DINOWITZ: THERE -- THERE ARE CRIMINAL

PENALTIES FOR FORGERY. WHAT THIS BILL DOES, IT SPECIFICALLY MAKES CLEAR

THAT FORGING VACCINATION CARDS FALLS INTO THOSE CATEGORIES. SO I DON'T

KNOW THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC PENALTY, BUT I THINK YOU POSSIBLY CAN BE

CHARGED ON THE BASIS OF FORGERY. BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE

LAW SPECIFICALLY INDICATES THAT FALSIFYING, FORGING VACCINATION CARDS

105

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

WHICH, OF COURSE, CAN ENDANGER PEOPLE'S LIVES. YOU KNOW, IF -- IF

YOU'RE AT A BIG VENUE, SAY A -- A YANKEE GAME, AND THEY'RE -- I DON'T

KNOW WHAT THEY DO BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A YANKEE GAME YET THIS

YEAR, BUT I ASSUME THEY'RE DOING SOME KIND OF SCREENING AND IF YOU

FALSELY PUT FORTH -- PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE AS HAVING BEEN VACCINATED,

THAT COULD ENDANGER PEOPLE'S LIVES. YOU KNOW, NOT EVERYBODY CAN GET

VACCINATED. THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO CAN'T, MAYBE THEY DON'T

WANT TO, THEY'RE PREGNANT OR THEY -- THEY'RE IMMUNO --

IMMUNOCOMPROMISED. SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE

OPPORTUNITY TO -- TO KNOW IN CERTAIN CASES WHETHER SOMEBODY IS

VACCINATED. AND BY HAVING A FORGED VACCINATION CARD, THAT IS -- WELL,

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S -- IT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO DO, BUT IT CAN ACTUALLY ENDANGER

PEOPLE.

MR. GOODELL: AM I CORRECT, THOUGH, THAT UNDER

EXISTING PENAL LAW SECTION 170.10, THE CREATION OF A FORGED

VACCINATION CARD WOULD BE FORGERY IN THE SECOND DEGREE, WHICH IS A

CLASS D FELONY, CORRECT?

MR. DINOWITZ: I WOULD IMAGINE, YEAH. YES.

MR. GOODELL: AND LIKEWISE, UNDER SECTION 170.

-- OH, I FORGOT THE SECTION -- SUBSECTION NUMBER, POSSESSION --

MR. DINOWITZ: WE -- WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

MR. GOODELL: -- SIMPLY POSSESSION OF -- OF A

FRAUDULENT VACCINE CARD, KNOWING THAT IT WAS FRAUDULENT, IS A CLASS A

MISDEMEANOR, CORRECT?

MR. DINOWITZ: YES.

106

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MR. GOODELL: AND AM I ALSO CORRECT THAT

POSSESSION OF A FRAUDULENT VACCINATION CARD KNOWING IT'S FRAUDULENT

ALSO VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW CURRENTLY, RIGHT?

MR. DINOWITZ: I'M NOT AWARE OF THE FEDERAL LAW,

BUT I IMAGINE SINCE IF YOU USED A CDC, CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL

INSIGNIA, THAT THAT WOULD BE A FEDERAL MATTER.

MR. GOODELL: AND I APOLOGIZE, THE REFERENCE TO

CRIMINAL POSSESSION WAS PENAL LAW SECTION 170.20. NOW, THE PENALTY,

IF WE ENACT THIS, WOULD BE A CLASS C FELONY, IS THAT CORRECT?

MR. DINOWITZ: I THINK IT DEPENDS UPON THE

CIRCUMSTANCES HERE, INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF CARDS.

MR. GOODELL: AND A CLASS C FELONY IS PUNISHABLE

BY SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON, CORRECT?

MR. DINOWITZ: I BELIEVE THAT'S THE -- YES.

MR. GOODELL: OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I

APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS TO CLARIFY THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF THIS BILL.

ON THE BILL, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: ON THE BILL.

MR. GOODELL: I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH THE SPONSOR

THAT FORGERY OF AN OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE.

AND, INDEED, OUR CURRENT CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW AND OUR CRIMINAL --

THE PENAL LAW RECOGNIZES THAT IT'S A SERIOUS OFFENSE AND ALREADY MAKES

IT A SERIOUS FELONY. THAT'S IF YOU'RE THE PERSON THAT'S MAKING THE FORGED

CARD. AND CURRENT PENAL LAW RECOGNIZES THAT POSSESSION OF A

FRAUDULENT VACCINATION CARD ITSELF IS A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR, WHICH IS

107

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

PUNISHABLE BY UP TO A YEAR IN JAIL. IT IS ALSO VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW

BECAUSE THERE'S A FEDERAL SYMBOL ON THAT VACCINATION CARD AND

REPLICATING A FEDERAL SYMBOL WITHOUT -- A GOVERNMENTAL -- OFFICIAL

GOVERNMENTAL SYMBOL WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW.

SO FOR THOSE OF -- THOSE IN THE PUBLIC THAT ARE THINKING

THAT IT WOULD BE FUN TO CREATE AND SELL FALSE VACCINATION CARDS, IT IS

ALREADY A VERY SERIOUS OFFENSE. THIS BILL RACHETS IT UP ONE MORE STEP

AND SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE IN POSSESSION OF A FRAUDULENT CARD, YOU COULD

BE FACING SEVEN YEARS IN PRISON. AND WHILE I AGREE WITH THE SPONSOR

THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, I THINK THE PUNISHMENT OF SEVEN YEARS IN

PRISON, SIX YEARS AFTER NO ONE HOPEFULLY IS EVEN WEARING A MASK, IS

OVERKILL. AND I -- SO I THINK THE CURRENT PROVISIONS WHICH PROVIDE UP

TO A YEAR IN PRISON -- IN JAIL IF YOU ARE IN POSSESSION AND SEVERAL YEARS IF

YOU CREATE IT ARE MORE THAN ADEQUATE. AND FOR THAT REASON, I WILL BE

RECOMMENDING AGAINST THIS LEGISLATION. THANK YOU, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. REILLY.

MR. REILLY: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. WILL THE

SPONSOR YIELD FOR A QUICK QUESTION?

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR.

DINOWITZ, DO YOU YIELD?

MR. DINOWITZ: YES.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THE SPONSOR

YIELDS.

MR. DINOWITZ: I'M NOT (INAUDIBLE) SO SOFT ON

CRIME, BY THE WAY. YES.

108

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MR. REILLY: MR. DINOWITZ, THANK YOU. SO THIS BILL

WOULD MAKE IT A CLASS D FELONY?

MR. DINOWITZ: AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER

OF FORGED VACCINATION CARDS YOU HAVE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE, SAY,

51, YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT MERELY POSSESSING BUT YOU'RE DISTRIBUTING. SO

IT DEPENDS.

MR. REILLY: SO -- BUT IF YOU HAVE ONE, IS IT THE

CLASS D?

MR. DINOWITZ: YEAH, I BELIEVE THAT IS RIGHT.

MR. REILLY: OKAY.

MR. DINOWITZ: I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I

BELIEVE THAT'S THE CASE.

MR. REILLY: OKAY. SO UNDER THIS, WOULD THE

INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS ARRESTED, WOULD THEY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DESK

APPEARANCE TICKET?

MR. DINOWITZ: A DESK APPEARANCE?

MR. REILLY: A DESK APPEARANCE TICKET, CORRECT.

MR. DINOWITZ: I DON'T KNOW.

MR. REILLY: OKAY. THE ONLY REASON I ASK IS UNDER

CURRENT LAW WHEN WE DID THE -- WHEN THIS BODY PASSED BAIL REFORM AND

IT WAS SIGNED, CLASS E FELONIES ALLOWED DESK APPEARANCE TICKETS AND

IRONICALLY, ONE BILL THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WAS 3D FIREARMS AND THE

POSSESSION WAS A CLASS E FELONY. SO WE ALLOWED A DESK APPEARANCE

TICKET UNDER THAT --

MR. DINOWITZ: WELL PERHAPS THAT STILL BE THE CASE

109

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

HERE.

MR. REILLY: WELL, THAT'S -- THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING.

IF THIS IS A CLASS D FELONY, THIS WOULDN'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR A DESK

APPEARANCE TICKET, IS THAT CORRECT?

MR. DINOWITZ: I DON'T -- I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK A

CLASS E WOULD. I MEAN, THE -- THE -- WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY DEBATING BAIL

REFORM. I KNOW YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THAT, BUT THIS IS ABOUT THIS BILL

BUT I THINK --

MR. REILLY: WELL, IT'S ABOUT -- IT'S ABOUT CRIMINAL

JUSTICE REFORM AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE ISSUES --

MR. DINOWITZ: NO --

MR. REILLY: AND IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT --

MR. DINOWITZ: WELL, NO, ACTUALLY IT'S ABOUT

MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO WERE COMMITTING REPREHENSIBLE ACTS BY

PUTTING THEMSELVES OUT THERE OR HELPING OTHER PEOPLE DO SO AS PEOPLE

WHO HAVE BEEN FULLY VACCINATED, THEREBY ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF

OTHERS, THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS ABOUT.

MR. REILLY: OKAY. SO -- SO WE'RE GOING -- SO JUST

TAKING IT INTO CONTEXT ABOUT THE CLASS OF FELONY THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT,

YOU'RE MAKING THE POSSESSION OF A FORGED IMMUNIZATION CARD A CLASS D

FELONY AS IT RELATES TO OTHER CRIMES UNDER CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. I

THINK IT JUST OUTWEIGHS THE SEVERITY CONSIDERING THAT WE WERE OKAY WITH

ALLOWING A CLASS E FELONY FOR A 3D FIREARM, WHICH COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE

PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS. SO THAT'S -- THAT'S -- I WISH WE WOULD JUST HALT A

LITTLE BIT AND -- AND WEIGH THE SEVERITY OF THE ACTUAL CRIME THAT WE'RE

110

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

TALKING ABOUT.

MR. DINOWITZ: WELL, I WOULD ARGUE THAT THIS, THE

-- THE ACT OF POSSESSING FALSE VACCINATION CARDS IS A VERY SERIOUS THREAT

TO PUBLIC SAFETY. NOT ALL THREATS TO PUBLIC SAFETY INVOLVE -- INVOLVE

SOMEBODY TAKING A GUN OR A KNIFE AND HURTING SOMEBODY. SPREADING A

DEADLY DISEASE WHICH HAS KILLED ALMOST 600,000 PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY,

WHICH IS THE GREATEST DEATH COUNT OF ANY EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OTHER THAN THE CIVIL WAR, I WOULD SAY IS A

VERY SERIOUS MATTER AND WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PREVENT

ADDITIONAL PEOPLE FROM DYING. AND PEOPLE WHO POSSESS OR WORSE THAN

POSSESSING, DISTRIBUTE THOSE CARDS ARE POTENTIALLY COMMITTING SERIOUS

VIOLENCE AND THREATENING THE LIVES OF WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE.

MR. REILLY: OKAY. I -- I APPRECIATE THAT ANSWER.

AND I -- I AM IN NO WAY DOWNPLAYING THE SEVERITY OF THE PANDEMIC AND

THE LIVES THAT WERE LOST, I'M JUST PUTTING IT INTO PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND WE'RE ADDING

A -- A PROVISION INTO THE PENAL LAW. SO JUST WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

COMPARISON, IT -- IT'S JUST A LITTLE CONCERNING. BUT I THANK YOU FOR YOUR

ANSWERS AND I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU --

MR. DINOWITZ: YOU'RE WELCOME.

MR. REILLY: -- MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: READ THE LAST

SECTION.

THE CLERK: THIS ACT SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THE CLERK

ANY MEMBER WHO WISHES TO BE RECORDED AS AN EXCEPTION TO THE

MR. GOODELL.

MR. GOODELL: THANK YOU, SIR. THE REPUBLICAN

CONFERENCE IS GENERALLY OPPOSED TO THIS LEGISLATION. THOSE WHO WOULD

LIKE TO BE RECORDED AS AN EXCEPTION SHOULD CONTACT THE MINORITY

LEADER'S OFFICE. THANK YOU, SIR.

MR. CUSICK: I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND MY COLLEAGUES

THAT THIS IS A PARTY VOTE. MAJORITY MEMBERS WILL BE RECORDED IN THE

AFFIRMATIVE. IF THERE ARE ANY EXCEPTIONS, I ASK MAJORITY MEMBERS TO

CONTACT THE MAJORITY LEADER'S OFFICE AT THE NUMBER PREVIOUSLY

MONTESANO IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. THANK YOU, SIR.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: SO NOTED.

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER CUSICK: MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES.

112

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MRS. PEOPLES-STOKES: IF YOU COULD RECORD OUR

COLLEAGUES MR. MAMDANI AND MR. CAHILL IN THE NEGATIVE ON THIS ONE.

ACTING SPEAKER CUSICK: SO NOTED.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER VOTES? ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS.

(THE CLERK ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS.)

THE BILL IS PASSED.

PAGE 42, CALENDAR NO. 190, THE CLERK WILL READ.

THE CLERK: ASSEMBLY NO. A00118-B, CALENDAR

NO. 190, PAULIN, GOTTFRIED, PICHARDO, OTIS. AN ACT TO AMEND THE

EXECUTIVE LAW, IN RELATION TO THE DEFINITION OF DESIGNATED OFFENDER.

ACTING SPEAKER CUSICK: MR. MORINELLO.

MR. MORINELLO: CAN WE HAVE AN EXPLANATION,

PLEASE?

ACTING SPEAKER CUSICK: AN EXPLANATION HAS

BEEN REQUESTED, MS. PAULIN.

MS. PAULIN: YES, THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THE

BILL EXEMPTS VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING FROM THE REQUIREMENTS TO

PROVIDE A DNA SAMPLE FOR THE STATE DNA IDENTIFICATION INDEX.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR.

MORINELLO.

MR. MORINELLO: WILL THE SPONSOR YIELD FOR A

COUPLE OF QUESTIONS?

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MS. PAULIN,

DO YOU YIELD?

MS. PAULIN: I WOULD BE HAPPY TO.

113

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MR. MORINELLO: THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THE SPONSOR

YIELDS.

MR. MORINELLO: I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE OF

THINGS. THIS IS AN AMENDED VERSION BECAUSE THE LOITERING PROVISION

WAS REMOVED. AM I CORRECT, BASED ON --

MS. PAULIN: ABSOLUTELY.

MR. MORINELLO: -- BASED ON PRIOR LEGISLATION?

MS. PAULIN: YES, EXACTLY.

MR. MORINELLO: THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS IS OF

COURSE TO PROTECT VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING; AM I CORRECT?

MS. PAULIN: THAT'S CORRECT.

MR. MORINELLO: OKAY. BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES JUST

PROSTITUTION, THE CRIME OF PROSTITUTION. CAN I ASK WHY THAT IS INCLUDED

IN THERE?

MS. PAULIN: SO THE -- I THINK THAT MOST SEX

TRAFFICKING VICTIMS DON'T IDENTIFY BY AGE AUTOMATICALLY. SO BY

INCLUDING THAT BROADER DEFINITION, YOU CAPTURE A SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM

WHO HAPPENS TO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR PROSTITUTION.

MR. MORINELLO: WAS THERE EVER ANY

CONSIDERATION THAT THE DNA SAMPLE MAY BE HELPFUL TO THE VICTIM OF SEX

TRAFFICKING?

MS. PAULIN: I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT MOST --

YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS ARE ACTUALLY -- OR MANY

ARE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS. THAT'S HOW, YOU KNOW, MY

114

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

FAMILIARITY WITH -- WITH SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS OCCURRED. AND THOSE

ADVOCATES EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS, THE TRAUMA OF PROVIDING A DNA

SAMPLE IS A TRAUMA TO THESE VICTIMS. THEY'RE -- THEY'RE YOUNG GIRLS.

EVEN IF THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE 18 OR 19, THEY'RE OFTEN 14, 15 AND THEY'RE

TRAUMATIZED BY THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE AND THIS IS JUST ONE MORE TRAUMA

THAT WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID.

MR. MORINELLO: I WAS MORE FOCUSING ON THOSE

THAT ARE VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT OF

THEIR HOMES, OUT OF THEIR VILLAGES AND BROUGHT INTO THIS COUNTRY AND

THEN SPREAD AROUND THE COUNTRY. SO THIS ALSO WOULD BE THOSE THAT ARE

INVOLVED IN THE PROSTITUTION, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE TECHNICALLY SEX --

VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING. CAN I INTERPRET IT AS THAT?

MS. PAULIN: SURE.

MR. MORINELLO: WELL, I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY IT.

MS. PAULIN: NO, IT'S GENERALLY TRUE, YES.

MR. MORINELLO: ALSO, WAS THERE EVER ANY

CONSIDERATION THAT THE DNA ON THOSE THAT ARE TRULY VICTIMS OF SEX

TRAFFICKING MAY HAVE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WILL BECOME VICTIMS

OF SEX TRAFFICKING THAT ARE IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT CAN TIE

THEM TOGETHER OR LOCATE EACH OTHER?

MS. PAULIN: I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY

VICTIMS IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE CAN'T -- JUST LIKE -- VERY -- IT'S VERY SIMILAR

TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. YOU CAN'T FORCE SOMEONE WHO'S A VICTIM IN THIS

CIRCUMSTANCE TO LEAVE THAT LIFE.

MR. MORINELLO: OKAY.

115

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

MS. PAULIN: YOU HAVE TO HOPE THAT THEY WANT TO

AND THAT THEY SEEK HELP. SO WHAT THE DNA DOES IS THEY COULD LINK

THEM PERHAPS, ALTHOUGH I DON'T KNOW THAT THE FAMILIES USE THE DNA

DATABASE TO DO THAT. I DON'T THINK THEY DO, I THINK IT ACTUALLY IS

PROHIBITED FROM THEIR USE, I THINK IT'S JUST LAW ENFORCEMENT. BUT EVEN IF

WE CHANGE THE LAW TO ALLOW, I -- I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE

ABLE TO FIND THAT VICTIM THROUGH THIS MECHANISM OR USE IT. THERE ARE

OTHER MECHANISMS UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE DONE

THROUGH OUR LAWS WHICH ARE -- WHICH ARE BETTER IN TERMS OF HELPING A

VICTIM COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR OWN ISSUES. YOU KNOW, I PASSED A LAW

THAT REQUIRES, FOR EXAMPLE, LITTLE CARDS IN HOTELS FOR A VICTIM IF THEY SEE

THE -- THEY SEE THE PHONE NUMBER, THEY CAN MEMORIZE IT, THEY COULD

TAKE THE CARD AND PUT IT IN THEIR SHOE AND THEN THEY COULD SEEK HELP. SO

I -- I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO ENCOURAGE VICTIMS TO COME FORWARD.

FORCING THEM, WHICH MIGHT BE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO WITH

A DATABASE LIKE THIS, HASN'T BEEN SHOWN TO BE HELPFUL.

MR. MORINELLO: THANK YOU.

ON THE BILL, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: ON THE BILL.

MR. MORINELLO: THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWERS AND

ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT SEX TRAFFICKING DOES

OCCUR. I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE THAT VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING ARE

TRAUMATIZED. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT AND BREAK IT DOWN

INTO TWO CATEGORIES: THOSE THAT ARE IN PROSTITUTION BECAUSE OF THEIR

OWN DESIRES VERSUS THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN PLUCKED OUT OF THEIR HOMES,

116

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

TAKEN FROM DISADVANTAGED AREAS AND FORCED INTO ORGANIZED SEX

TRAFFICKING. DNA ALSO CAN BE HELPFUL IN IDENTIFYING. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A

VICTIM OF SEX TRAFFICKING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE WORKING

POSITION IN THE EAST MAY THEN BE MOVED TO THE WEST. THAT DNA COULD

HELP EXONERATE THEM FROM ANOTHER CHARGE IN ANOTHER PART OF THE

COUNTRY, RATHER THAN HARMING THEM.

ADDITIONALLY, AS I HAD STATED IN MY QUESTIONING, AND I

HAD SPOKEN ON THIS ON THE FLOOR BEFORE THROUGH MY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

TRAINING, THE -- THERE'S MANY VILLAGES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAT THESE

ORGANIZED SEX TRAFFICKERS WILL GO IN AND TAKE DISADVANTAGED

INDIVIDUALS, BRING THEM INTO THIS COUNTRY, MOVE THEM AROUND AND

BECOME PART OF AN ORGANIZED SEX TRAFFICKING RING. MANY TIMES THEY

WOULD TAKE MEMBERS OF THE SAME FAMILY, THEY WOULD SEPARATE THEM.

AND I JUST LOOK AT DNA NOT AS A NEGATIVE FOR TRAUMATIZING, BUT AS A

POSITIVE TO ASSIST IN BRINGING FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF

SEX TRAFFICKING FROM DISADVANTAGED AREAS AND MOVED AROUND THE

COUNTRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: READ THE LAST

SECTION.

THE CLERK: THIS ACT SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THE CLERK

LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION MOURNING THE TRAGIC AND

UNTIMELY DEATH OF NYPD POLICE OFFICER ANASTASIOS TSAKOS ON

TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 2021.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR. BROWN

ON THE RESOLUTION.

MR. BROWN: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. THANK YOU

FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT FORWARD THIS RESOLUTION MOURNING

THE TRAGIC DEATH OF NYPD POLICE OFFICER AND HIGHWAY PATROLMAN

ANASTASIOS TSAKOS. THE RESOLUTION STATES IT IS WITH PROFOUND SADNESS

THAT LEGISLATIVE BODY RECORDS THE PASSING OF NEW YORK CITY POLICE

DEPARTMENT POLICE OFFICER ANASTASIOS TSAKOS, WHO MADE THE ULTIMATE

SACRIFICE ON TUESDAY, APRIL 27TH OF THIS YEAR WHILE FAITHFULLY EXECUTING

HIS RESPONSIBILITIES, SERVING WITH DEDICATION, LOYALTY, AND COMPASSION

AND WHO DEVOTED HIS PURPOSEFUL LIFE AND CAREER TO SERVE AND PROTECT.

119

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

OFFICER TSAKOS EXEMPLIFIED WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO GIVE HIMSELF IN

PROVIDING VITAL POLICE SERVICES IN KEEPING THE WHOLE NOBLE MISSION OF

THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.

OFFICER TSAKOS, A 43-YEAR-OLD RESIDENT OF EAST

NORTHPORT, NEW YORK, AND A FEW BLOCKS FROM WHERE I GREW UP, DIED IN

THE LINE OF DUTY FOLLOWING A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. EARLY IN THE MORNING ON

TUESDAY, APRIL 27TH, OFFICER TSAKOS WAS STRUCK BY A PASSING VEHICLE

AS HE STOOD NEXT TO HIS MARKED CAR WHILE DIVERTING TRAFFIC FROM A

PREVIOUS FATAL CRASH ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY IN QUEENS, NEW

YORK. HE WAS RUSHED IN CRITICAL CONDITION TO NEW YORK PRESBYTERIAN

QUEENS HOSPITAL, WHERE HE LATER SUCCUMBED TO HIS INJURIES. OFFICER

TSAKOS WAS THE SON OF IMMIGRANTS FROM LACONIA, GREECE. HE GREW UP

IN ASTORIA, QUEENS AND WAS A GRADUATE OF ST. DEMETRIOS HIGH SCHOOL.

HE MOVED TO GREECE FOR A SHORT TIME TO SERVE IN THE GREEK MILITARY.

IN JANUARY OF 2007, ANASTASIOS TSAKOS JOINED THE

NYPD UPON GRADUATING FROM THE ACADEMY, AND HE WAS ASSIGNED TO

THE 75TH PRECINCT AND THE 83RD PRECINCT BEFORE HE WAS ASSIGNED TO

HIGHWAY (INAUDIBLE). OFFICER TSAKOS WAS A MEMBER OF ST. PAUL'S

SOCIETY, THE NYPD FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION FOR POLICE OFFICERS OF THE

EASTERN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN FAITH. A 14-YEAR VETERAN OF THE FORCE AND A

FATHER TO TWO SMALL CHILDREN, OFFICER ANASTASIOS TSAKOS AND HIS WIFE

RECENTLY PURCHASED A HOME IN EAST NORTHPORT. OFFICER TSAKOS WAS

AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS "TASO" TO HIS NEIGHBORS. TO HIS NEIGHBORS,

THEY KNEW HIM AS A FRIENDLY, DEDICATED FAMILY MAN AND AN EXTREMELY

HARD WORKER. HE FREQUENTLY CAME TO THE AID OF HIS NEIGHBORS WHEN

120

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

THEY WERE STRICKEN WITH COVID-19 BY BRINGING THEM FOOD AND ITEMS

NEEDED FROM THE SUPERMARKET. HE EVEN HELPED ONE NEIGHBOR PUT UP

MOLDING. AND ALTHOUGH HE WORKED NIGHTS, OFFICER TSAKOS ENJOYED

PLAYING WITH HIS CHILDREN DURING THE DAY.

OFFICER TSAKOS GAVE 14 YEARS TO THE NYPD,

PROTECTING ITS RESIDENTS AND MAKING SURE THEY STAYED SAFE. HE LOVED

BEING A POLICE OFFICER AND WAS DEDICATED TO HIS PROFESSION, AND WAS

WELL-RESPECTED BY HIS FELLOW POLICE OFFICERS WHO DESCRIBED HIM AS THE

BEST OF THE BEST. OFFICER TSAKOS PERFORMED HIS DUTIES WITH GREAT HONOR,

INTEGRITY, AND PRIDE. HE WAS TRULY AN EXCEPTIONAL ROLE MODEL AND AN

INSPIRATION TO HIS FELLOW OFFICERS. AT HIS FUNERAL, POLICE COMMISSIONER

DERMOT SHEA POSTHUMOUSLY PROMOTED HIM TO THE RANK OF DETECTIVE.

OFFICER TSAKOS LEAVES BEHIND HIS WIFE OF SEVEN YEARS,

IRENE TSAKOS; HIS SIX-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, JENNY;

THREE-AND-A-HALF-YEAR-OLD SON, STAVROS; OLDER SISTER, KATINA; AND

YOUNGER BROTHER, LEFTERIS. THE NEW YORK CITY COMMUNITY AND ENTIRE

STATE OF NEW YORK HAS LOST A PROMINENT OFFICER, HUSBAND, FATHER,

BROTHER, AND FRIEND. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED AND TRULY MERITS THE

GRATEFUL TRIBUTE OF THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY.

IRENE TSAKOS TOLD MOURNERS AT THE FUNERAL MASS THAT

EACH TIME SHE WATCHED HER HUSBAND, TASO, WITH THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN,

HE WAS PATIENT, WONDERFUL, AND FUN. AND HE WOULD SAY A SILENT THANK

YOU TO GOD FOR HIM -- SHE WOULD, PARDON ME. SHE SAID THE COUPLE HAD

LOOKED FORWARD TO WATCHING THEIR CHILDREN GROW, HEAD OFF TO COLLEGE,

GET MARRIED, AND PLANNED TO GROW OLD TOGETHER. I WISH WE COULD GROW

121

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 3, 2021

OLD TOGETHER, IRENE TSAKOS SAID AT AN EMOTIONAL EULOGY AT SAINT

PARASKEVI GREEK ORTHODOX SHRINE CHURCH, THAT WAS THE PLAN. BUT HE

WAS TAKEN FROM US TOO SOON AND NOW OUR KIDS WILL GROW UP WITHOUT

THEIR DAD. I WILL BE SURE THEY KNOW WHO HE IS. EACH DAY THEY WILL SEE

HIS FACE AND LEARN ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS HE DID AND WHAT A

HERO HE TRULY WAS. THEY WILL NEVER FORGET, AND I WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT,

SHE SAID. I PERSONALLY ATTENDED THE WAKE AND FUNERAL SERVICE OF OFFICER

TSAKOS. I MET HIS WIFE AND HIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS

SON, HIS BROTHER, HIS SISTER, HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER. I ALSO MET HIS

FORMER PARTNER WHO DESCRIBED HIM AS THE BEST. HE TOLD ME HE WAS A

PILOT AND THAT ONE DAY HE WANTED TO BE A HELICOPTER PILOT FOR THE

NYPD.

I'D JUST LIKE TO READ TO YOU A PORTION OF HIS PALM CARD.

IT'S A POEM. IT SAYS, QUOTE, "WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU FOR A LITTLE WHILE,

PLEASE DO NOT GRIEVE AND SHED WILD TEARS, AND HUG YOUR SORROW TO YOU

THROUGH THE YEARS. BUT START OUT BRAVELY WITH A GALLANT SMILE AND FOR

MY SAKE AND IN MY NAME, LIVE ON AND DO ALL THINGS THE SAME. FEED NOT

YOUR LONELINESS ON EMPTY DAYS, BUT FILL EACH WAKING HOUR IN USEFUL

WAYS. REACH OUT YOUR HAND IN COMFORT AND IN CHEER, AND IN TURN, WILL

COMFORT YOU AND HOLD YOU NEAR. AND NEVER, NEVER BE AFRAID, FOR I WILL

BE WAITING."

I ASK THAT WE STAND AS A BODY AND PAUSE FOR A MOMENT

OF SILENCE IN HONOR OF HIGHWAY PATROLMAN TSAKOS, AND THANK YOU VERY

MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THANK YOU.

MR. REILLY ON THE RESOLUTION.

MR. REILLY: THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. WE OWE A

DEBT TO THE TSAKOS FAMILY THAT WE CAN NEVER REPAY, NO MATTER HOW LONG

IT TAKES. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER AND HONOR HIS LEGACY FOR HIS

FAMILY, FOR HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE NYPD. REST EASY, MY

BROTHER. FIDELIS AD MORTEM; FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH. THANK YOU.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: MR.

TANNOUSIS ON THE RESOLUTION.

MR. TANNOUSIS: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR.

SPEAKER. YOU KNOW, WHEN I LEARNED OF THE PASSING OF OFFICER TSAKOS,

YOU KNOW, IT HIT ME IN TWO WAYS. THE FIRST IS THAT I, AS HE, WERE FORMER

MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. HE WAS A 14-YEAR VETERAN OF THE

NYPD, SWORN TO SERVE AND PROTECT. AND THE SECOND TOKEN, HE'S ALSO A

MEMBER OF THE GREEK COMMUNITY, AS I -- AS I AM. HE CAME HERE AS AN

IMMIGRANT WITH HIS FAMILY FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM, AS SO MANY

PEOPLE DO. AND INSTEAD OF GOING INTO A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS WHERE HE

COULD HAVE AND PROVIDE AND MAKE LOTS OF MONEY FOR HIM AND HIS

FAMILY, HE INSTEAD DECIDED THAT HE WAS GOING TO SERVE AND PROTECT HIS

COMMUNITY, AND THAT'S WHAT HE DID AS A 14-YEAR VETERAN.

SO HE LEAVES BEHIND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. HE'S A

NATIVE OF ASTORIA, QUEENS. THOSE TWO KIDS WILL NOW GROW UP WITHOUT

A FATHER BECAUSE OF THIS TRAGIC INCIDENT, BUT I ASK EVERYONE HERE TO

PLEASE KEEP HIS MEMORY ETERNAL AND AS THEY SAY IN GREEK, (SPEAKING

GREEK), MAY HIS MEMORY ALWAYS BE ETERNAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ACTING SPEAKER EICHENSTEIN: THANK YOU.
