These bills have made it through both the Assembly and Senate
And what the Assembly could still take up next week that's already passed the Senate.
Good afternoon — it’s Friday and Sewing Machine Day.
In today’s CapCon:
Several bills have now made it through the Senate and Assembly, including new artificial intelligence rules, regulation of kratom and gun restrictions.
Many more bills made it through the Senate before they left. Their fate is now up to the Assembly, including utility regulations and consumer protections.

✋ What the Senate passed and what the Assembly has left
We’re in the homestretch and the fate of any unpassed legislation now lies with the state Assembly. The Senate wrapped up this year’s legislative session around 4 a.m. this morning.
If the Senate didn’t pass a bill you were watching before they left, it’s now dead. Sorry!
But fortunately for you, the chamber approved a marathon of bills before departing the Capitol, including some of the top items we’ve been tracking for you.
The Assembly is now heading home for the weekend. Leadership in the chamber is expected to take the weekend to decide the final roster of bills that will make it to the floor by the time they’re scheduled to head out on Tuesday, their last day.
That will then give Gov. Kathy Hochul the next six and a half months to consider which bills she’ll approve and which she won’t. We’ll stay with you throughout the year to keep track of those decisions.
That’s ahead. Let’s talk about now. We’ll begin with bills that have now passed both chambers
