The New York State Assembly will return to state capitol in Albany on Tuesday for a two-day session to take care of unfinished business.
The legislative session officially ended earlier this month. The State Senate has already adjourned for the year, but passed some items that were not taken up by the Assembly.
Democratic State Senator Shelley Mayer of the Lower Hudson Valley’s 37th District is hoping the Assembly votes on her bill that would create protections for people seeking reproductive health services in New York via telehealth.
Mayer traveled to Washington D.C. this past week to join the White House Panel on Reproductive Health. WAMC's Lucas Willard spoke to Mayer about her legislation and her thoughts on other high-profile bills in the 2023 legislative session.
