The New York State Senate on April 24, 2025, took final action on a number of bills across multiple subject areas. Most measures were read and moved to passage with limited debate.

Key items recorded on the floor (bill identifiers and outcomes as read into the record):

- Calendar No. 366 (Senate print 1116 by Senator Garnard), enactment in the executive law — passed (ayes 51 announced).

- Calendar No. 503 (Senate print 3831 by Senator Holliman Segal), enactment in the penal law — passed (ayes 51 announced); effective date noted as Nov. 1 where specified on the floor.

- Trial/Calendar No. 631 (Senate print 491 by Senator Fernandez), enactment in the executive law — passed (ayes 51 announced); stated to take effect immediately.

- Calendar No. 661 (Senate print 1062 by Senator Serrano), enactment in the arts and cultural affairs law — passed (ayes 51 announced); noted to take effect in 120 days where indicated.

- Calendar No. 667 (Senate print 1424 by Senator Liu), action in the education law — passed (ayes 51 announced); effective immediately per last section read.

- Calendar No. 675 (Senate print 205 by Senator Martinez), enactment in the penal law — passed (ayes 51 announced); effective immediately per last section read.

Several bills and calendar entries were laid aside for the day, including Calendar No. 133 (Senate print 1328 by Senator Parker) and Calendar No. 649 (Senate print 1099 by Senator May). The Senate completed reading of the calendar and adjourned until Monday, April 28, 2025.

Why it matters: The passed bills cover a range of state functions — changes to criminal statutes, education provisions, and support for arts and cultural districts — and several were advanced with minimal floor debate. Voters and affected institutions should consult the enrolled bills and listed effective dates for implementation details.
