Summary: Bill E 6 — Provides for the adoption of the Rules of the Assembly for 2025-2026

Quick overview

  • Bill number: E 6
  • Title: Provides for the adoption of the Rules of the Assembly for 2025-2026
  • Classification: Resolution (procedural)
  • Status: ADOPTED
  • Introduced: January 8, 2025

Purpose and intent

This bill is a housekeeping, procedural measure intended to adopt the official Rules of the Assembly for the 2025-2026 legislative session. By adopting these rules, the Assembly establishes the operating framework for how its proceedings will be conducted, including matters such as debate procedures, committee operations, discipline, and general parliamentary conduct for the upcoming session. As a resolution, its primary function is internal governance rather than creating substantive policy.

Key provisions

  • Adoption of the Rules for 2025-2026: The resolution authorizes and sets the Assembly’s rules to govern proceedings in the 2025-2026 session.
  • Effective scope: The rules take effect as specified by the adopted resolution (typical for rules resolutions, effective upon adoption or at the start of the legislative session). The text provided does not detail any changes to the rules themselves; it confirms adoption of the rules as the governing framework.
  • (Note: The actual text of the 2025-2026 Rules is not included in the summary provided. The bill functions to authorize and enact those rules.)

Affected entities

  • Members of the New York Assembly and Assembly staff: The adopted rules govern floor procedures, committee operations, decorum, amendments, voting, and other procedural activities.
  • Legislative process: Internal workflow, scheduling, and rules-based governance of debates and actions.

Procedural history and timeline

  • Introduced: January 8, 2025
  • Adopted: January 8, 2025
    • The bill was introduced and immediately adopted on the same day, indicating a swift, routine adoption of the annual rules.
  • This is a resolution, so its primary effect is to set internal operating procedures for the Assembly rather than to enact new law or allocate funds.

Additional notes

  • Sponsor: Crystal Peoples-Stokes serves as the primary sponsor.
  • Purposeful emphasis: The measure is intended to ensure the Assembly operates under a defined, up-to-date rules framework for 2025-2026, facilitating orderly consideration of legislation and orderly conduct of proceedings.
