Amends Rules I, III, V and VIII of the Assembly Rules, in relation to the powers and duties of the Speaker, the consideration of bills and resolutions and the disclosure of records
This Assembly Resolution (E 826) amends procedural rules for the New York State Assembly, not substantive policy. It clarifies the Speaker’s authority to maintain order and handle appeals, updates how resolutions (especially those involving expenditures or foreign policy) are referred and adopted, and establishes rules for remote member attendance during emergencies (requiring recording and allowing electronic recognition requests). It also revises voting procedures, distinguishing between "slow roll calls" (for final bill passage) and "fast roll calls" (for procedural votes), with specific requirements for electronic voting systems. These changes streamline Assembly operations without altering legislative substance.
