NY to End Legislation Printing Requirement

The state Assembly approved a constitutional amendment that would end the requirement of printing a copy of each piece of legislation on paper.

This is the second passage of the proposal, which made its way through both house of the state Legislature last year and needs to pass the state Senate during this session. If approved by the state Senate, which is likely, and approved by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, it is set for a statewide referendum in the fall of 2014.
