Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public officers law, in relation to voting by the senate on nominations of the governor
AI Summary
This bill requires that when the Governor appoints someone to an office and needs the Senate's approval, the Senate must vote on each appointment individually, rather than as a group or "slate." Furthermore, all such votes must be conducted as roll call votes, meaning each senator's vote will be officially recorded. This change applies to the Public Officers Law and aims to ensure transparency and individual accountability in the confirmation process for gubernatorial appointments.
