As part of NYPIRGs ongoing review of legislative activity, the following analysis examines the 2013 New York legislative session to date. This analysis does not draw conclusions on the substance of bills or a particular legislators impact, or the overall legislative output, since legislative productivity is more complicated and subjective than simple numbers. It is up to New Yorkers to assess their legislators effectiveness and impact. In order to be informed New Yorkers deserve information on the functioning of their Legislature and we hope that the following information will stimulate dialogue between lawmakers and their constituents. Unless otherwise noted, the following numbers are based on data compiled by the Legislative Bill Drafting Commission. This was obtained over the past three weeks, and subsequent revisions made to publicly-released voting results might not be reflected. Numbers are subject to change in the event of a special or extraordinary session.

While the total number of bills that passed both houses increased from 2012 to 2013 (and may increase further if a special session convenes), the total of 649 bills is remarkably low by historical standards. This is part of a broader trend: Since 1915, the three years that saw the fewest bills pass both houses are 2009, 2012, and 2013.1 It seems that a smaller quantity of two-house bills is a new reality in New York State. There are several reasons this might be the case, and they seem to be rooted in both structural changes in the legislative process and in changes in the productivity and total output of legislation (for better or worse) of the state Legislature. Some of this decrease may be due to the increasing importance of the state budget. In 1969, one of the years with the highest number of bills passed, the budget was 577 pages. In 2012, it was 2,890. While much of this increase is due to the dramatic growth in government spending, there appears to be a trend toward including a greater number of

Historic totals from 1920 through 1994 were obtained from the New York State Red Book. Earlier years were obtained from archives held by the New York State Library.

issues in the annual budgets appropriation and Article VII bills, thus increasing the length of the budget bills and reducing the number of policy changes that may have passed as separate bills. An additional factor in this trend might be the relatively small majorities in the state senate. While the total number of bills passing this chamber has barely changed, it is possible that the need for nearunanimity within the Majority Coalition has made it more difficult to pass significant legislation. This may be true because one or two dissenters can be enough to keep a bill from seeing a vote. It seems feasible that this dissent is more likely to surface in a Republican-controlled chamber over bills that are supported by Assembly Democrats than over one-house bills sponsored by their copartisans, which could lead to relatively constant numbers of one-house bills, but fewer agreements between both chambers. The most significant reason for the gradual decline in recent decades is likely due to a relative stasis in the societal areas that are deemed governable. The years in which these numbers peaked were those which coincided with the most fervent periods of expansionism, specifically the Little New Deal, the post-war boom years, and Governor Rockefellers unprecedented increases in state spending. Some of the new areas in which the state began to legislate were due directly to opportunities for federal grants, such as increases in welfare and housing. Others, such as environmental protection and funding for higher education, were not directly tied to federal requirements, but grew out of similar philosophies about the role of the state government in society. New legislation became necessary to establish these programs, and additional bills were often passed in subsequent years to fix problems in these nascent state programs. As the programs matured, they entered into a more settled status, which required less frequent adjustment. In recent decades, the state has entered fewer new fields of governance, driven most recently by a lack of funds due to the recent economic downturn.

Bills Passed by Time of Year Both houses passed most of their bills toward the end of session. The Assembly in fact, passed nearly half of their bills (49.63%) in the last week of regular session; the Senate more than one third (36.44%). This reliance on passing hundreds of bills during the closing weeks of session is a long-time practice, though it was more pronounced this year than last. In 2013, the Assembly passed 68.76% of their bills in June, compared to 57.56% in 2013; in 2013 the Senate passed 66.13% of their bills in June, compared to 55.37% for 2012.

Floor Votes on Bills Lost by Calendar Year

12,579 different bills have passed the Assembly since the last day a vote sponsored by an Assembly
Democrat lost. This was an attempted veto override in 2004; it has been even longer since a vote requiring a simple majority has lost in the Assembly. This chart does not include totals for votes on hostile amendments or rules. Year 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 Senate 0 1 1 2 9 0 1 0 0 Assembly 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

If bills passed multiple times, credit for one bill was given for each month in which they passed. A number of bills in each house were passed, amended, then repassed.

Messages of Necessity After significant public criticism over the use of a message of necessity to pass the SAFE Act in January, only two bills passed either house with a message in the remainder of the 2013 session. In his tenure of three legislative sessions Governor Cuomo has used messages far less than his predecessors: an average of 12.3 bills per year have passed either house with a message in his tenure, compared to 41 under the Spitzer/ Paterson dyad and 89.2 under Pataki.

Program Bills In 2013 Governor Cuomo continued to introduce fewer program bills than his predecessors, but has passed a significantly higher percentage of them through both houses. It should be noted that most program bills are introduced once in each house, so in most years, a passage rate of 50% would usually indicate that the governor has passed each of his proposals.

Gubernatorial Vetoes Note that the combined total of bills that have been chaptered and vetoed does not exactly match the total number of bills passing each house. Due to the governors line-item power, many appropriation bills count in both categories. Constitutional amendments are included in the tally of bills passing both houses, but ultimately are subject to voter approval or rejection, not gubernatorial action to be chaptered or vetoed.

A review of 564 bills that passed both houses in 2012 illustrates that legislation Governor Cuomo acts on later in the year is more likely to be vetoed than bills acted on soon after session.3 Of the examined bills, only 0.55% of those acted on in July were voted, while 56.25% of those dealt with in December were.

In 2012, 571 bills passed both houses. Of this total, seven bills were omitted from this chart due to peculiarities that made them difficult to graph, such as budget bills that were both signed and received line-item vetoes.

Concurrent Resolutions to Amend the Constitution Passing Both Houses More constitutional amendments have received either first or second passage in both houses in 2013 than in any other year in recent history.

Same-As Bills As of June 23, 13,991 bills had been introduced in both houses. 7,848 of these (56.1%) had same-as sponsors in the other chamber on this date. It is possible that some of these bills had same-as versions earlier in the session, but lost this distinction by the end due to only one houses version being amended. Nevertheless, these numbers can provide a rough estimate of how many bills had sponsors who successfully made the preliminary efforts of turning their proposals into serious legislation that had the potential of becoming laws. Of the five conferences, members of the Assembly Republicans were the least likely to find same-as sponsors in the opposite chamber.

Bills Passing Both Houses In both houses, members of the majority conference(s) supported a higher average number of bills that eventually passed both houses. A revealing number in the chart below shows that 96.49% of the bills prime-sponsored by Assembly Republicans that passed their own chamber also passed the senate. This indicates that many of the bills introduced by members of the minority that were allowed to come to the floor for a vote may have been relatively non-controversial items of local interest. 5 Percentage of Bills Passing own House that Passed Other House 55.97% 96.49% 50.47% 52.11% 43.33%

VOTING PATTERNS Note: The following analyses of voting only look at votes cast on legislation, and do not include resolutions, confirmation votes or motions to amend. Opposition to Legislation The vast majority of bills that passed the Senate did so with little or no opposition.7 Total Nay Votes 0 1-9 10-19 20-29 Number of Percentage of All Bills Votes on Bills 745 51.59% 610 42.24% 69 4.78% 20 1.39%

Senator Golden was the only member of his house to vote Aye on every single bill. Senators Flanagan and Valesky also voted in the affirmative for every bill for which they cast a (but did not cast votes on 1 and 8 bills, respectively). There was a modest decrease in the percentage of bills receiving the support of over 90% of the votes cast between 2012 (91.17%) and 2013 (90.58%). More bills found opposition in the Assembly, but similarly to the Senate, most passed with little or no opposition.8 Total No Votes 0 1-10 11-25 26-50 50-59 60 or more Number of Votes % of All Votes on Bills on Bills 457 41.97% 330 30.30% 93 8.54% 200 18.37% 8 0.73% 1 0.09%

Since several bills were amended and voted on a second time, the total number of votes on bills is slightly higher in each house than the total number of bills passing as discussed at the beginning of this report. 8 In the course of producing this report, Legislative Bill Drafting appears to have adjusted their database to add one additional bill to the total that passed the Assembly. Due to the methodology we used, it is difficult to determine which bill was added, but it is likely the vote was included in our database of voting records. If we are missing one vote, however, the cumulative results might be off by 0.08%, and the tallies of votes for individual members might be off by 1.

Members of the IDC were the most likely to vote with their conferences leader; members of the Democratic Conference were the least likely. (Note: Senators Sampson and Smith were omitted from this study). There was virtual unanimity in the voting patterns of Senate Majority Leaders Klein and Skelos: The two voted the same way 99.79% of the time. This is due to the co-leadership agreement whereby both need to agree on bills that are considered on the Senate floor. Thus the co-leaders ended up supporting nearly every bill that came before their house: of 1,444 votes on bills, Senator Klein voted in the negative only twice; Senator Skelos, once. Using this methodology, Senator Ball can be seen as the most independent senator, as his voting record differed the most drastically from each of the three leaders.

Conference Loyalty: The Assembly Votes same Votes same as Conference As Silver Kolb Dem 96.91% 84.38% GOP 83.18% 89.98%

Seven Assembly Democrats voted the same way as Speaker Silver (who voted yes on 100% of bills) with every vote they cast. Assemblymember Barron, who voted with the Speaker on 88.99% of bills, was the conference member who most frequently voted differently than the Speaker. Three Republicans - Assemblymembers Lalor, Nojay, and DiPietro differed from the Speaker the most frequently. Assemblymember Boyland was the most likely to disagree with Minority Leader Kolb. Since Assemblymember Kearns seems to have participated in a majority of his partys conference discussions this year, he was grouped with the Democrats for the purposes of calculating this conferences percentage of votes with the Speaker. Notably, his votes were slightly more likely to agree with Silvers they agreed 97.37% of the time than the votes cast by all other Assembly Democrats.

Participation in Floor Debates Between the beginning of 2013 and June 18th (the most recent date for which records are currently available), 471,749 words were spoken on the Senate floor.9 The following chart shows how many words each Senator is listed as saying. Of course, the length of a members comments does not necessarily reflect how much of substance they said, but we believe this information provides one additional measure through which one can analyze legislative activity. In addition, these totals are likely to be interesting to the Capitol observers who spend countless hours watching floor debates.

The following chart shows the number of bills advanced from each standing committee prior to passing in their respective house. The Ethics Committee in the Senate and the Ethics and Guidance Committee in the Assembly each passed zero bills. These committees typically have not been used to consider bills, but rather as one cog in Albanys byzantine system of enforcing ethics laws. Besides the ethics committee, the standing committees that advanced the fewest bills that eventually were passed by their chambers were, in the Senate, the New York City Education Subcommittee (1 bill) and Infrastructure and Capital Investment (3); in the Assembly, Oversight, Analysis and Investigation (0) and Libraries and Education Technology (2).11
