What this does not establish

  • The primary source is the New York Assembly bill page (summary and actions). nysenate.gov bill pages return HTTP 403 to automated requests and were not used. The full bill text was not opened.
  • New York's 2025-2026 legislative term runs through 31 December 2026, so a bill without further action is still pending, not failed, on 23 September 2026.

Unresolved questions

None recorded.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.

  • No related action is recorded.
