§ 42. Deposit of laws and concurrent resolutions with legislative leaders and secretary of state. 1. The governor, upon approval of any bill or part thereof or if the bill be one as to which all or any part becomes law immediately upon its passage by both houses of the legislature pursuant to article seven of the constitution, shall, in either event, assign a chapter number to such bill and deposit the original thereof with the secretary of state and a certified official copy thereof with the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly. Both the original and certified copy shall have appended thereto the certificate of the presiding officer of each house and the chapter number assigned by the governor.
Terms Used In N.Y. Legislative Law 42
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Presiding officer: A majority-party Senator who presides over the Senate and is charged with maintaining order and decorum, recognizing Members to speak, and interpreting the Senate's rules, practices and precedents.
2. Every concurrent resolution proposing amendments to the constitution of the state and concurrent resolutions proposing or ratifying amendments to the constitution of the United States shall be deposited with the secretary of state upon passage, with the certificate of the presiding officer of each house appended thereto. The secretary of state shall forthwith upon any such deposit endorse upon each such concurrent resolution his certificate of the day, month and year it was filed in his office, and his certificate to such effect shall be presumptive evidence thereof. A certified official copy thereof with such certificate appended thereto shall be delivered to the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assembly.
