4 I ask everyone present to please
5 rise and repeat with me the Pledge of
6 Allegiance.
7 (Whereupon, the assemblage
8 recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.)
9 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Our
10 prayer today will be by the Reverend Peter G.
11 Young, of Mother Teresa Community Church here
12 in Albany.
13 REVEREND YOUNG: Let us pray.
14 On this day of togetherness with
15 all countries, God, You never fail to provide
16 our New York State citizens with dedicated
17 Senators.
18 May God pour forth this blessing
19 on our legislators and provide them with the
20 spirit of courage to accept the many demands
21 of their elected office.
22 As Senators, we report on this
23 day of the session bell that calls us to hear
24 one another for the benefit of our New York
25 State constituents.
2885
1 This invocation calls us to be
2 true, to be the best that we can, so that we
3 might become as a legislative leader. We need to
4 heed the call of our own hearts with compassion
5 and with dignity.
6 Amen.
7 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
8 you, Father.

15 SENATOR HANNON: I now offer the

17 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH:
18 Amendments received.
19 Senator Hannon.
20 SENATOR HANNON: Mr. President,
21 there's a resolution at the desk by Senator
22 DeFrancisco, Resolution 4312. It was previously
23 adopted by the house on May 1st. May we have the
24 title read, and would you please call on
25 Senator DeFrancisco.
2890
1 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The
2 Secretary will read.
3 THE SECRETARY: Legislative
4 Resolution Number 4312, by Senator DeFrancisco,
5 honoring Jeff Peneston upon the occasion of his
6 designation as recipient of The Horace Mann Award
7 for Teaching Excellence.
8 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
9 DeFrancisco.
10 SENATOR DeFRANCISCO: Thank you,
11 Mr. President.
12 This resolution actually previously
13 passed, but today we're honored to have Jeff
14 Peneston and his family here today, near the
15 clock, to honor him on his incredible
16 achievement.
17 This Horace Mann Award for Teaching
18 Excellence is only given to five people
19 throughout the country. That's five people
20 throughout the country.
21 And he's been teaching at Liverpool
22 High School for 25 years, I believe. And he
23 currently teaches earth science, one of my least
24 favorite subjects as I was going through high
25 school. However, he's been able to motivate so
2891
1 many different students in science and technology
2 that it's really wonderful to see somebody that
3 can communicate with young people and make these
4 subjects extremely interesting and to move them
5 further in their academic careers.
6 It's also interesting to note a
7 couple of other things. We all know how
8 important teachers are in a community. This
9 individual is not only doing great things in the
10 classroom, but he has community involvement as
11 well. He's served as a summer program director
12 and natural history educator director for Camp
13 Natoli -- Natooli? Tatooli? Talooli. Talooli,
14 like -- in Pennellville.
15 And he's had leadership roles in
16 the American Camp Association, a course in drama
17 organization, marching band, color board, booster
18 groups, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
19 And this isn't his first honor.
20 Last year he won the New York State Teacher of
21 the Year award. And he's got many teaching
22 awards at the local level.
23 So we always have to give thanks to
24 all of our teachers, but today we have a very,
25 very special teacher here today, the winner of
2892
1 the Horace Mann Award for Teaching Excellence,
2 Jeff Peneston.
3 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
4 you.
5 On behalf of Senator DeFrancisco
6 and the entire Senate, Mr. Peneston,
7 congratulations on your award. Thank you for all
8 you do for the students. And we welcome you and
9 your family here on your visit to the chamber.
10 Thank you.
11 (Applause.)
12 SENATOR HANNON: Mr. President.
13 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
14 Hannon.
15 SENATOR HANNON: Mr. President,
16 would you be so kind as to recognize Senator
17 Young.
18 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
19 Young.
20 SENATOR YOUNG: Thank you,
21 Mr. President.
22 It truly is a pleasure today to
23 introduce a very fine young woman from my
24 district, and that's Ms. Emillie Luce, who is the
25 Miss World of Beauty 2011.
2893
1 She's a junior at SUNY Brockport
2 majoring in adapted physical education. She
3 wants to be a guidance counselor. She chose her
4 path of her career choice after being a
5 one-on-one teacher's aide for Cattaraugus-
6 Allegany BOCES this past summer, and she was
7 really and truly inspired by the progress of a
8 young boy she helped throughout the summer.
9 She's the daughter of Richard and
10 Lynne Luce of Cattaraugus; that's a beautiful
11 little village in Cattaraugus County. And Mom is
12 here today, so we welcome her also. She's the
13 youngest of six children, and she also spends
14 time with family and friends, including 11 nieces
15 and nephews. She cheers for Number 9, Mark
16 Steenhuis of the Buffalo Bandits lacrosse team.
17 And she started pageants in 2007.
18 She was crowned Miss Teenager 2007 at the
19 Cattaraugus County Fair, and I think that's where
20 I've met her in the past.
21 And she competes in pageants, which
22 she says has changed her outlook on life. She
23 believes that pageants are about the inner
24 beauty, how you think and conduct yourself as a
25 young woman.
2894
1 She also has worked with
2 Mr. Gillespie on area pageants, helps young girls
3 with presentations to judges and the audience,
4 and keeps in touch with women from past
5 pageants.
6 She views today, meeting with
7 Senators, Assemblymembers, and the Governor, as a
8 lasting memory. And so it's great that she can
9 be here to learn about state government.
10 So, Mr. President, if you would
11 please extend to Ms. Luce the cordialities of the
12 house, that would be very much appreciated. But
13 I'm just so proud of all of her accomplishments.
14 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
15 you very much.
16 On behalf of Senator Young and all
17 the Senators, we welcome you to the chamber.
18 Congratulations on your many awards, and good
19 luck in your pursuit of your education career.
20 Enjoy your day here at the Capitol.
21 (Applause.)

23 Hannon.

25 THE SECRETARY: Section 2. This
2897

4 (The Secretary called the roll.)
5 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
6 Klein to explain his vote.
7 SENATOR KLEIN: Thank you,
8 Mr. President.
9 This legislation makes some very
10 important changes to our existing bawdy house
11 laws in New York State.
12 This bill was introduced at the
13 request of the Bronx district attorney, Robert
14 Johnson, and it's supported by all the district
15 attorneys around the five boroughs in the City of
16 New York. Because one of the problems we're
17 seeing time and time again is that for a landlord
18 presently to evict a tenant where drug or other
19 criminal activity took place, now the entire
20 burden is on the landlord.
21 This merely allows a district
22 attorney to join the landlord in Housing Court,
23 using criminal evidence and other courtroom
24 procedures to be able to evict a tenant as
25 quickly as possible.
2898
1 These aren't your run-of-the-mill
2 tenants. These are tenants who have already been
3 arrested for prostitution on the premises, drugs,
4 guns. There's presently 13 of these types of
5 apartments that are being used as safe houses by
6 criminals in Bronx County alone.
7 So I think this is an important
8 addition to our existing laws, and I vote yes,
9 Mr. President.
10 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
11 you, Senator Klein.
12 Senator Diaz.
13 SENATOR DIAZ: Thank you,
14 Mr. President.
15 I know the District Attorney, Bronx
16 District Attorney Robert Johnson, my good
17 friend. However, I also know the poor people of
18 my district. And they are being -- there have
19 been too many prosecutions for the tenants, and
20 this law might give the landlord the opportunity
21 to evict and the district attorney to declare,
22 when somebody brings their brothers or sisters,
23 to be illegal. And also those -- this law often
24 serves too many things that could be against the
25 tenants.
2899
1 I understand that we have to
2 prosecute people that deal with drugs and
3 whatever. But the tenants not only have the rent
4 being too high, but also now we could allow the
5 district attorney to go after them. I think that
6 I cannot vote for this piece of legislation, and
7 I think that the people in my district would not
8 be in support of a legislation like this.
9 Thank you.
10 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
11 you, Senator Diaz. You will be recorded in the
12 negative.
13 Senator Krueger.
14 SENATOR KRUEGER: Thank you. I
15 rise to explain my vote, Mr. President.
16 While I appreciate the sponsor's
17 broader intent with his legislation, the dilemma
18 is this bill is written in such a way as even
19 when there is no criminal activity that has been
20 found through a court of law, with guilty parties
21 having been convicted a district attorney could
22 still, based on assumptions of guilt that have
23 not yet been proved in court, move to proceed to
24 participate in an eviction case -- which may, in
25 fact, ultimately be found guilty in a criminal
2900
1 court, in which case I would not have a problem
2 with them representing themselves in the
3 Housing Court proceeding -- or the criminal
4 activity may in fact be by some party or parties
5 not the actual legal tenants in the home.
6 And I fear, as my colleague
7 Senator Diaz raised, that people would be wrongly
8 evicted from their homes based on assumptions
9 that had not yet been proven in a court of law.
10 So I am voting no and urge other
11 colleagues to vote no.
12 Thank you, Mr. President.
13 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
14 you, Senator Krueger. You will be recorded in
15 the negative.
16 Announce the results.
17 THE SECRETARY: In relation to
18 Calendar Number 270, those recorded in the
19 negative are Senators Adams, Diaz, Dilan,
20 Krueger, Parker, Rivera, and Serrano.
21 Ayes, 50. Nays, 7.
22 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill
23 is passed.
24 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number
25 291, by Senator Valesky, Senate Print 653A, an
2901
1 act to amend the Environmental Conservation Law.
2 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Read the

10 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill
11 is passed.
12 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number
13 359, by Senator Grisanti, Senate Print 6517, an
14 act to amend the Local Finance Law.
15 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: A
16 home-rule message is at the desk.
17 Read the last section.
18 THE SECRETARY: Section 2. This

20 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Call the

22 (The Secretary called the roll.)
23 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 56. Nays,

25 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill

5 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Read the
6 last section.
7 THE SECRETARY: Section 3. This
8 act shall take effect on the first of November.
9 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Call the
10 roll.
11 (The Secretary called the roll.)
12 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
13 Little to explain her vote.
14 SENATOR LITTLE: Thank you,
15 Mr. President.
16 Once again, I'm pleased that we are
17 passing this bill here in the Senate. We have
18 laws protecting sexual relationships between
19 doctors and their patients. We have harassment
20 laws that ensure that workers are not subject to
21 sexual advances from their bosses.
22 Although a student may be old
23 enough to consent to sex with a school employee,
24 it certainly doesn't make it right. Students
25 ought to have the same level of protection as
2903
1 these people in other categories, so that they
2 are not manipulated by those people who are
3 persons in a position of power or persons in a
4 position of trust.
5 Even though New York's legal age of
6 consent is 17, by taking the child's age into
7 consideration and the fact that they are a
8 student in a school district, having a
9 relationship with someone who is employed by that
10 school district will be against the law.
11 Violations would be a Class E felony and carry a
12 sentence of up to four years in prison.
13 There are 20 other states that have
14 recognized the seriousness of this issue and have
15 passed laws doing so. I am pleased that New York
16 State -- and hopefully this will pass the
17 Assembly and be signed into law in New York
18 State.
19 Thank you.
20 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
21 you, Senator Little.
22 Announce the results.
23 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 57.
24 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill
25 is passed.
2904
1 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number
2 439, by Senator Robach, Senate Print 4560A, an
3 act to amend the Correction Law.
4 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Read the

6 THE SECRETARY: Section 5. This
7 act shall take effect immediately.
8 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Call the
9 roll.
10 (The Secretary called the roll.)
11 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 56. Nays,
12 1. Senator Parker recorded in the negative.
13 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill
14 is passed.
15 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number
16 491, by Senator Bonacic, Senate Print 6233A, an
17 act to authorize the reestablishment.
18 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: A
19 home-rule message is at the desk.
20 Read the last section.
21 THE SECRETARY: Section 2. This
22 act shall take effect immediately.
23 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Call the
24 roll.
25 (The Secretary called the roll.)
2905
1 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 57.
2 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill

4 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number
5 500, by Senator Grisanti, Senate Print 2478A, an
6 act to amend the Education Law.
7 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Read the
8 last section.
9 THE SECRETARY: Section 3. This
10 act shall take effect immediately.
11 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Call the
12 roll.
13 (The Secretary called the roll.)
14 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
15 Oppenheimer to explain her vote.
16 SENATOR OPPENHEIMER: Yes. Ever
17 since I was -- many, many years ago -- president
18 of the League of Women Voters, we tried very hard
19 to separate and made sure, through most of the
20 state, that we have separated education from
21 politics.
22 And by bringing this vote to
23 November, it just injects the political world
24 into the education world. I'm very much opposed
25 to that. I know the Board of Education in
2906
1 Buffalo is very much opposed to that.
2 And yes, it does exist in a couple
3 other of our Big Five, but it's a bad example.
4 And I think it really denigrates education. And
5 I'll be voting no.
6 Thank you, Mr. President.
7 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Senator
8 Oppenheimer, you will be recorded in the
9 negative.
10 Senator Grisanti to explain his
11 vote.
12 SENATOR GRISANTI: Yes, thank you,
13 Mr. President.
14 Senator Oppenheimer, I understand
15 your concern. However, the City of Buffalo
16 itself has requested that the elections be moved
17 from May to November.
18 And if you live in the City of
19 Buffalo, the politics that take place in May on
20 voting in the Board of Election are worse than
21 actually what takes place in November.
22 In 2010, only 4 percent of the
23 eligible voters turned out to vote in May.
24 That's 6,200 voters were cast out of 150,000
25 people eligible.
2907
1 The Common Council of the City of
2 Buffalo, in 1995, 1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, and
3 2009, sent a home-rule message to the Senate and
4 the Assembly to move this particular election.
5 The cost to the City of Buffalo is
6 about $150,000 to $200,000 that they would save.
7 And the high expenses related to having the
8 election in May, as well as the low voter
9 turnout, make it advisable to just move the
10 election in this particular case.
11 And as you know, you alluded that
12 both Rochester and Syracuse hold their school
13 board elections in November. And we've looked at
14 the past practices of those particular two large
15 cities, and there's a better turnout, better
16 people that are qualified for the board, actually
17 to get on the board itself.
18 But in reality, it's the instance
19 of the City of Buffalo wanting to get this done
20 and wanting to get this moved. Mr. President, I
21 vote aye on the bill.
22 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: Thank
23 you, Senator Grisanti. You will be recorded in
24 the affirmative.
25 Announce the results.
2908

2 Calendar Number 500, those recorded in the

12 ACTING PRESIDENT ROBACH: The bill

20 act shall take effect on the 120th day.
