AI to Help Combat Climate Change, Disability Bills, Women's Rights and More

Last week, I, alongside my colleague Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee Chair Steve Englebright, held the first-ever NYS Assembly roundtable on artificial intelligence and how we can utilize it to predict and combat climate change. We head into our last three intensive legislative weeks with June with a few thousand bills pending – though only a fraction will end up passing both bodies. Serious work continues and a whole host of important yet controversial bills including on housing and tenant protections, climate control and protection, surrogacy laws and driver licenses to name just a few! The Assembly and Senate this week passed a legislative package aimed at protecting people with disabilities and improving and expanding services available to them. As always, check out community events to see what's happening around the district!
