Could you have the \n\n24 title read and move for its immediate adoption.\n\n25 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The \n\n\f 2677\n\n 1 Secretary will read.\n\n 2 THE SECRETARY: Legislative \n\n 3 Resolution Number 4416, by Senator Sampson, \n\n 4 mourning the death of Gregory Jackson, \n\n 5 distinguished Brownsville citizen and devoted \n\n 6 member of the Brooklyn community.\n\n 7 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: All in \n\n 8 favor of the resolution signify by saying aye.\n\n 9 (Response of \"Aye.\")\n\n10 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: \n\n11 Opposed? \n\n12 (No response.)\n\n13 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The \n\n14 resolution is adopted.\n\n15 Senator Libous.\n\n16 SENATOR LIBOUS: Mr. President, \n\n17 could we have the reading of the noncontroversial \n\n18 calendar, please.\n\n19 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The \n\n20 Secretary will read.\n\n21 SENATOR BRESLIN: Point of order.\n\n22 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n23 Breslin, what is your point of order? \n\n24 SENATOR BRESLIN: Mr. President, I \n\n25 rise for a point of order. \n\n\f 2678\n\n 1 I have a privileged resolution at \n\n 2 the desk that the Secretary failed to read, and I \n\n 3 would request that it be read.\n\n 4 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n 5 Breslin, we are not on motions and resolutions at \n\n 6 this point in time. We've been called for the \n\n 7 reading of the noncontroversial calendar. \n\n 8 So we would later ask if we want to \n\n 9 presently return to motions and resolutions, with \n\n10 consent.\n\n11 SENATOR BRESLIN: Mr. President, I \n\n12 believe I was up, standing, waiting to be called \n\n13 upon.\n\n14 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n15 Breslin, with all due respect, Senator Libous -- \n\n16 I was looking out before the audience --\n\n17 SENATOR LIBOUS: Mr. President. \n\n18 Mr. President, that might have been my fault. \n\n19 I believe that if Senator Breslin \n\n20 would like to return to motions and resolutions, \n\n21 I'd be happy to do that at this time.\n\n22 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Without \n\n23 objection, we shall return to motions and \n\n24 resolutions.\n\n25 Senator Breslin. \n\n\f 2679\n\n 1 SENATOR BRESLIN: I believe that \n\n 2 there's two privileged resolutions at the desk. \n\n 3 I ask that the reading be waived and I be heard \n\n 4 on the resolutions.\n\n 5 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n 6 Breslin, we've looked at the resolutions before. \n\n 7 And in order for these resolutions to be deemed \n\n 8 privileged and to be brought before the body, \n\n 9 they would need the consent of the Temporary \n\n10 President. \n\n11 Has that been obtained?\n\n12 SENATOR BRESLIN: Could you repeat \n\n13 that, please? \n\n14 SENATOR LIBOUS: Mr. President -- \n\n15 Mr. President, could you get some order in the \n\n16 chamber? There are a lot of conversations going \n\n17 on. Staff members should leave the chamber. \n\n18 Members should take their seats. \n\n19 I believe that Senator Breslin has \n\n20 the floor, and it's difficult for me, who is \n\n21 right next to Senator Breslin, to even hear him \n\n22 with all of the chatter that goes on in the \n\n23 chamber. The chamber is a place where members \n\n24 are allowed to speak if called on by the chair. \n\n25 Nobody else should be speaking at that time. \n\n\f 2680\n\n 1 Thank you, Mr. President.\n\n 2 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank \n\n 3 you, Senator Libous. \n\n 4 Thank you, Senator Breslin. \n\n 5 I appreciate the order in the \n\n 6 chamber.\n\n 7 Senator Breslin, upon review of \n\n 8 your point, we deem that the resolutions are not \n\n 9 considered privileged because they must receive \n\n10 the consent of the Temporary President in order \n\n11 to be brought before the house as a privileged \n\n12 resolution. So they are not in order.\n\n13 SENATOR BRESLIN: I would appeal \n\n14 the ruling of the chair.\n\n15 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Okay, \n\n16 there's a request for an appeal of the ruling of \n\n17 the chair. All those --\n\n18 SENATOR BRESLIN: I request to be \n\n19 heard on the appeal.\n\n20 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: You \n\n21 may be heard, Senator Breslin. \n\n22 SENATOR BRESLIN: Mr. President, \n\n23 the resolutions I'm offering today establish \n\n24 plans setting forth an itemized list of grantees \n\n25 for certain school districts across the state. \n\n\f 2681\n\n 1 The proposed allocations of school \n\n 2 district money, commonly referred to as bullet \n\n 3 aid, conform fully to the provisions of \n\n 4 Senate Rule 9, Section 11, relating to conference \n\n 5 allocations for community projects and local \n\n 6 assistance. \n\n 7 The first resolution would allocate \n\n 8 the remaining $5 million for bullet aid for the \n\n 9 years 2011 and 2012 that was mysteriously absent \n\n10 from the resolution this house passed just last \n\n11 week.\n\n12 The second would allocate the full \n\n13 $20 million for fiscal year 2012-2013 in an \n\n14 equitable manner to all Senators' districts, \n\n15 regardless of party, pursuant to State Senate \n\n16 rules and the formula for school aid \n\n17 distribution.\n\n18 Pursuant to the Deputy Majority \n\n19 Leader's declaration and the urgency of the \n\n20 proposed and much-needed aid to school districts \n\n21 throughout the state, I insist that the \n\n22 resolution be read and considered for adoption. \n\n23 Thank you, Mr. President.\n\n24 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Thank \n\n25 you, Senator Breslin. \n\n\f 2682\n\n 1 The question is on overruling the \n\n 2 ruling of the chair. All those in favor signify \n\n 3 by saying aye.\n\n 4 (Response of \"Aye.\")\n\n 5 SENATOR BRESLIN: We request a \n\n 6 show of hands, Mr. President.\n\n 7 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: A show \n\n 8 of hands has been requested and so designated.\n\n 9 (Senators raised their hands.)\n\n10 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Announce \n\n11 the results.\n\n12 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 23.\n\n13 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The \n\n14 ruling of the chair stands.\n\n15 Senator Libous.\n\n16 SENATOR LIBOUS: Mr. President, \n\n17 could we have the reading of the noncontroversial \n\n18 calendar at this time.\n\n19 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The \n\n20 Secretary will read the noncontroversial \n\n21 calendar.\n\n22 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number \n\n23 322, by Senator Ranzenhofer, Senate Print 3220, \n\n24 an act to amend the Correction Law.\n\n25 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Read the \n\n\f 2683\n\n 1 last section.\n\n 2 THE SECRETARY: Section 2. This \n\n 3 act shall take effect on the first of November.\n\n 4 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Call the \n\n 5 roll.\n\n 6 (The Secretary called the roll.)\n\n 7 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n 8 Rivera to explain his vote.\n\n 9 SENATOR RIVERA: Thank you, \n\n10 Mr. President, to explain my vote.\n\n11 This is a bill much like ones that \n\n12 we've voted on in weeks past and sessions past \n\n13 that deals with sex offenders but yet does not \n\n14 make the distinction by levels. \n\n15 There is another bill on the agenda \n\n16 today that does something different; however, it \n\n17 has the same problem.\n\n18 As I've stated many times on the \n\n19 floor, I certainly believe that it is our \n\n20 responsibility to secure citizens from \n\n21 predators. But when we establish rules -- bills \n\n22 like this, when we try to establish laws of this \n\n23 kind which are so broad and do not have the \n\n24 distinctions that are already established in law, \n\n25 when someone is a sex offender and has served \n\n\f 2684\n\n 1 their time, then we create a law that is too \n\n 2 broad and that certainly I believe has more of a \n\n 3 punitive effect. \n\n 4 Which, again, as I've stated, can \n\n 5 certainly be warranted for certain people that \n\n 6 are considered sex offenders, but certainly not \n\n 7 Level 1's. \n\n 8 Since this does not have that \n\n 9 distinction, I'll be voting in the negative.\n\n10 Thank you, Mr. President.\n\n11 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n12 Rivera to be recorded in the negative. \n\n13 Announce the results.\n\n14 THE SECRETARY: In relation to \n\n15 Calendar Number 322, those recorded in the \n\n16 negative are Senators Hassell-Thompson, Krueger, \n\n17 Montgomery, Parker, Perkins and Rivera.\n\n18 Ayes, 54. Nays, 6.\n\n19 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The bill \n\n20 is passed.\n\n21 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number \n\n22 385, by Senator DeFrancisco, Senate Print 2856A, \n\n23 an act to amend the Public Health Law.\n\n24 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Read the \n\n25 last section.\n\n\f 2685\n\n 1 THE SECRETARY: Section 3. This \n\n 2 act shall take effect on the 120th day.\n\n 3 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Call the \n\n 4 roll.\n\n 5 (The Secretary called the roll.)\n\n 6 THE SECRETARY: Ayes, 60.\n\n 7 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: The bill \n\n 8 is passed.\n\n 9 THE SECRETARY: Calendar Number \n\n10 433, by Senator Skelos, Senate Print 1828, an act \n\n11 to amend the Correction Law.\n\n12 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Read the \n\n13 last section.\n\n14 THE SECRETARY: Section 4. This \n\n15 act shall take effect immediately.\n\n16 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Call the \n\n17 roll.\n\n18 (The Secretary called the roll.)\n\n19 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n20 Rivera to explain his vote.\n\n21 SENATOR RIVERA: Thank you, \n\n22 Mr. President. \n\n23 This is the second bill that we're \n\n24 going to deal with today that deals with sex \n\n25 offenders. \n\n\f 2686\n\n 1 This one in particular, what it \n\n 2 would do is it would eliminate, for all intents \n\n 3 and purposes, the levels that I was just speaking \n\n 4 about. To me, this is probably -- this is \n\n 5 extremely egregious because it does not make the \n\n 6 distinction between someone that is a predator \n\n 7 and someone who is not. \n\n 8 It would make a person a sex \n\n 9 offender, regardless of the level, actually \n\n10 regardless of the offense. There would be no \n\n11 levels anymore. So this person, anybody who was \n\n12 convicted of a sex offense, would have to \n\n13 register for the rest of their lives.\n\n14 Now, while I think that certainly \n\n15 predators that are Level 3's currently need to \n\n16 have this -- we need to make sure that we know \n\n17 where they are, we certainly should restrict \n\n18 where they work or where they can go -- when \n\n19 we're talking about a Level 1 sex offender, that \n\n20 distinction -- there is a reason why that \n\n21 distinction exists. \n\n22 This law would again make it too \n\n23 broad a definition. I believe that we should be \n\n24 very careful about how we establish these levels \n\n25 on all the bills that deal with sex offenses. I \n\n\f 2687\n\n 1 will be voting in the negative on this piece of \n\n 2 legislation. \n\n 3 Thank you, Mr. President.\n\n 4 ACTING PRESIDENT GRIFFO: Senator \n\n 5 Rivera to be recorded in the negative.\n\n 6 Announce the results.\n\n 7 THE SECRETARY: In relation to \n\n 8 Calendar Number 433, those recorded in the \n\n 9 negative are Senators Dilan, Duane, \n\n10 Hassell-Thompson, Huntley, Krueger, Montgomery, \n\n11 Parker, Perkins, Rivera, Serrano and Squadron.\n\n12 Ayes, 49.
