Albany, NY – The New York State Senate has decided not to advance a voting bill that had been proposed with support from former President Donald Trump. The decision means the legislation will not move forward in the current legislative session.

The legislative process in New York requires bills to pass through committees and then be voted on by the full Senate and Assembly before being sent to the governor. In this instance, the Senate’s decision effectively halts the bill’s progress.

Further information on the reasons behind the Senate’s decision to not proceed with the bill was not disclosed. The timeline for when the bill was introduced or when this decision was made was not provided.

The New York State Senate has concluded its current session without bringing the Trump-backed voting bill to a vote, marking the end of its potential legislative journey for this session.
