NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 20, 2019

Joint Statement From Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins And Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie


Due to a significant technical issue with the Automatic Voter Registration Act (S6457A/A8280A) that would have impacted the intent of the legislation, the Senate Majority will recall the bill and introduce a corrected version. We will pass this updated bill at the next available opportunity when we are in legislative session. This action will not impact the implementation of this corrected legislation because, like the original legislation, it does not go into effect until 2021.
