REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION

Overview

Bill number: A 7778

Title: Relates to Southampton village ocean rescue

Status: REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION

Introduced: April 10, 2025

Primary sponsor: Tommy Schiavoni

Classification: bill

This bill is currently in the committee stage, having been referred to the Assembly Transportation Committee. The available materials do not include the bill’s text or explicit provisions.

Purpose and intent

Based on the title, the bill is intended to address matters related to ocean rescue operations in Southampton Village. The exact scope, goals, and mechanisms (e.g., authority, funding, coordination) are not provided in the available information.

The designation “relates to Southampton village ocean rescue” suggests a focus on lifeguard/ocean rescue services, safety protocols, or related emergency response procedures within Southampton Village.

Key provisions (as of available information)

The actual statutory text, specific provisions, funding levels, and implementation details are not included in the provided materials.

As such, precise changes to law, regulatory actions, or new programs cannot be listed here. The bill would typically be expected to define:

Scope of ocean rescue operations within Southampton Village
Roles and responsibilities of local authorities, lifeguards, rescue services, and potentially state agencies
Funding mechanisms or authorization for expenditures
Oversight, reporting, and performance measures
Any changes to training requirements, equipment, or response protocols

Note: The above are common elements in bills addressing ocean rescue or public safety near coastlines, but they are not confirmed content for A 7778.

Affected parties

Likely affected entities include Southampton Village authorities, local lifeguard or rescue services, emergency medical services, and potentially state transportation or public safety agencies if state involvement is specified.

Local residents and visitors benefiting from enhanced ocean rescue capabilities could be impacted through improved safety and response times.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Current stage: Committee referral (Transportation) after introduction.

Next steps: If the bill advances, it would move through the Assembly Transportation Committee, possibly undergo amendments, and eventually proceed to the full Assembly floor. A companion measure exists in the Senate (S 3266), which may mirror or complement A 7778. The prior-session related bill listed is A 7090.

Relation to companion bills: Senate companion S 3266 indicates cross-chamber interest in the same policy area; comparison of texts could reveal alignment or differences in approach.

Additional context

The bill has a named sponsor (Tommy Schiavoni) and multiple related bills, indicating ongoing interest in a Southampton Village ocean rescue framework across sessions.

Without the text, readers should monitor updates from the Assembly Transportation Committee for the specific provisions, amendments, and potential enactment timelines.

If you’d like, I can track future actions or compare A 7778 with its companion S 3266 to highlight how the proposals align or differ.
