Nevertheless, it appears that the Committee has not held a single meeting in the 2019 legislative session. ls this correct?

By requiring those on student visas to depart the U.S. until in-person classes resume, ICE is placing an unjust burden on these students. As you know, the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced school systems across the country to implement remote learning so that students can continue their education without the risk of exposure. Although some states have made strides in overcoming the peak of the virus, precautions are still being taken to prevent a second wave. This includes universities that have opted to maintain remote learning for the upcoming fall semester. Accessing online courses requires a consistent WiFi connection so that students can complete their coursework and partake in instruction outside of the virtual classroom.

Letter to Charles-Lavine.21.03.17
New York State Assembly KEVIN M. BYRNE KIERAN M. LALOR Assemblyman 94th District Assemblyman 105th District Westchester & Putnam Counties Dutchess County March 17, 2021 Honorable Charles D. Lavine Assemblymember & Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee Legislative Office Building 831 Albany, NY 12248 Chairman Charles Lavine: Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, our state has been tested in countless ways. Our work is not over, and the scandals coming from the Cuomo Administration have only added to the challenges we all face. The importance of the Judiciary Committee’s responsibility to investigate Governor Cuomo and the administration cannot be overstated. While it is important your committee is provided the time and resources it needs to conduct a thorough investigation, it is critical that there be no delays in your work. It would be wrong to afford Governor Cuomo and his administration the opportunity to further misuse his office by utilizing the budget process to impede or influence your investigation. In our state’s rich long history, only one Governor, William Sulzer, has ever been impeached. Like the Assembly Speaker did in 1913, Speaker Heastie has opted to begin the impeachment process with an investigative committee. The allegations against Governor Cuomo are far more serious and more numerous than those levied against Governor Sulzer, or more recently against Governor Elliot Spitzer. Many of these impeachable offenses were conducted in the middle of a pandemic when millions of New Yorkers were putting their faith in the Legislature and Governor Cuomo to be honest with them. The only thing that will restore the public’s trust in our state government is to provide New Yorkers the unvarnished truth in a timely manner.

Committee on Banks 2019 ANNUAL REPORT New York State Assembly Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Kenneth P. Zebrowski, Chair December 15, 2019 The Honorable Carl E. Heastie Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie: I am pleased to submit the 2019 Annual Report for the Assembly Standing Committee on Banks. Included herein are details of the Committee’s 2019 legislative work, other initiatives undertaken during the year, and important developments since the close of session. Additionally, you will find the Committee’s outlook for the 2020 legislative session where we will continue to protect consumers’ financial interests and rights while helping to improve and grow the banking industry across the State. The Banks Committee made significant progress during the 2019 session, reporting legislation that aimed to maintain and enhance the vitality of our State’s financial industry, expand the banking development district program, address the student loan debt crisis, increase access for consumers in under-banked communities, and maintain sound operations within the industry. The Committee’s significant accomplishments in 2019 include adding meaningful protections for student loan borrowers in the State budget as well as imposing important restrictions on bad actors in the student debt consulting industry; increasing disclosure to consumers on issues such as mortgage lending, allowing credit unions and savings banks to take municipal deposits; and, expanding the banking development district program to include credit unions. I want to thank my fellow members of the Assembly Banks Committee for all the time and work they have put in to serving the interests of the residents of our State.

The Annual Report reviews the work of the Committee on Judiciary and highlights many of its major initiatives. It also includes a brief overview of various budgetary matters that concern the courts of the state and other areas within the committee’s purview. The Judiciary Committee tackled many high-profile issues in 2018, including protections for domestic violence victims, children and families, tenants and homeowners, workers and consumers and the elderly and disabled. A top priority of the Committee each year is ensuring that funding is added to the state budget for civil legal services for low-income New Yorkers. The Judiciary Committee remains a strong advocate for providing civil legal services to those in need. This year, the Assembly continued its support for civil legal services in New York State by restoring its traditional funding as well as an increased appropriation for civil legal services through the Judiciary budget.

New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus 1917-2014 A Look at the History of the Legislators of Color NEW YORK STATE BLACK, PUERTO RICAN, HISPANIC AND ASIAN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS 1917-2014 A Look At The History of The Legislature 23 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The New York State Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus would like to express a special appreciation to everyone who contributed time, materials and language to this journal. Without their assistance and commitment this would not have been possible. Nicole Jordan, Executive Director Raul Espinal, Legislative Coordinator Nicole Weir, Legislative Intern Adrienne L. Johnson, Office of Assemblywoman Annette Robinson New York Red Book The 1977 Black and Puerto Rican Caucus Journal New York State Library Schomburg Research Center for Black Culture New York State Assembly Editorial Services Amsterdam News 2 DEDICATION: Dear Friends, It is with honor that I present to you this up-to-date chronicle of men and women of color who have served in the New York State Legislature. This book reflects the challenges that resolute men and women of color have addressed and the progress that we have helped New Yorkers achieve over the decades. Since this book was first published in 1977, new legislators of color have arrived in the Senate and Assembly to continue to change the color and improve the function of New York State government. In its 48 years of existence, I am proud to note that the Caucus has grown not only in size but in its diversity. Originally a group that primarily represented the Black population of New York City, the Caucus is now composed of members from across the State representing an even more diverse people.

THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District
BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.
