Reconstructing the Concealed & Distorted Odyssey of Rules Reform
click here for:
“The Assembly minority conference has
offered sweeping reforms to the Assembly rules at the beginning of
each legislative cycle for the past decade.
Recently, all 47 minority members
pledged support to the Assembly rules reforms recommended by the
Brennan Center (with minor exceptions).
The members also said they will
support the latest version of a resolution sponsored by
Assemblyman Scott Stringer (D-NY) and 26 other Assembly majority
members as a positive first step toward achieving reform.”
