Several measures were passed on the consent calendar with little floor debate. Notable outcomes recorded on the floor include:
- Assembly Bill 3361 (calendar 126, Rep. Vannell): \"An act creating a temporary state commission to study\" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 138, Noes 0).
- Assembly Bill 4003 (calendar 128, Miss Clark): \"An act to amend the Social Services Law\" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 139, Noes 0). Sponsor explanation recorded on the floor; see separate coverage.
- Assembly Bill 709902 (calendar 133, Miss Heinemann): \"Direct the City of New York to conduct a study and analysis of stormwater and groundwater issues\" — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 140, Noes 0).
- Assembly Bill 8113 (calendar 134): amendment to chapter 462 of the laws of 2015 — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 140, Noes 0).
- Assembly Bill 8148 (calendar 136): authorizing certain health care professionals — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 141, Noes 0).
- Assembly Bill 34048 (calendar 39, Mr. Levine): amendment to the Public Health Law — passed (recorded tally: Ayes 141, Noes 0).

Several bills were explicitly \"laid aside\" on the floor and not acted upon in this session, including Assembly Bills 6068 (calendar 121, Miss Rosenthal), 1029 (calendar 123), 1892 (calendar 125, Miss Pollan), 5134 (calendar 129, Miss Salaj), and 6766 (calendar 130, Mr. Vannell). In some cases the clerk announced that a senate bill was advanced or laid aside for future action.

The session also adopted multiple ceremonial resolutions (for example, Police Week and proclamations for awareness months) following sponsor remarks; those resolutions carried without recorded opposition.

Because many items were handled on consent with no recorded debate, the transcript shows sponsor names and basic bill descriptions but often does not record amendment texts, fiscal notes, implementing agency actions, or funding sources on the floor. Where a sponsor offered an explanation (for example, Assembly Bill 4003 and the childcare explanation by Miss Clark), the sponsor's remarks are noted in the record.

The house adjourned and reconvened the following day.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","New York Legislature - 5-12-25 Session - May 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","On the May 12 Assembly floor, members took up a multi-item consent calendar and approved a series of bills and resolutions with recorded unanimous or near-unanimous tallies; several measures were laid aside.

Assemblymember Clark explained the vote on the floor, saying the bill removes a disparity that currently allows center-based providers to extend the 'infant' label only through 18 months, which can change staff-to-child ratios and allow centers to care for more children at once. \"It will allow more slots to open up in our home-based providers and hopefully get some children off the wait list so those parents have care for their kids,\" Clark said. She added she saw no safety concern, noting similar standards already apply in center settings, and cast her vote in the affirmative.

Supporters said the change is intended to expand capacity in the home-based child care sector by making the labeling consistent across provider types. The bill text recorded on the floor states the act \"shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day\" after enactment.

The bill was recorded on the floor and passed on a recorded vote; the clerk announced the tally as \"Ayes, 139; Noes, 0.\" No amendments or motions to recommit were recorded on the floor for this item.

Background: Assembly members who spoke during the brief explanation framed the change as incremental policy to ease supply constraints in child care. The bill does not, on its face, change reimbursement rates, licensing inspections, or program eligibility; it changes the statutory labeling and thus how ratios are applied for at-home providers. The transcript does not specify any accompanying funding or regulatory guidance to be issued by state agencies.

Votes at a glance: Assembly Bill 4003 (calendar 128) — Passed; recorded tally Ayes 139, Noes 0. The measure will take effect on the 180th day unless otherwise specified in the enacted text.

The Assembly moved on after the consent vote to additional calendar items and adjourned to reconvene the following day.","The New York State Assembly approved Assembly Bill 4003, amending the Social Services Law to align infant labeling and ratios for home-based providers with center-based rules, with sponsors saying the change will create more slots and reduce wait lists for child care.","actionData","errors"]
