Legislative Representative to Albany, State Assembly bill files for 1981 to 1982


Description

The accession consists of printed Assembly bills, copies of memoranda, "Reports on State Legislation," roll calls, and a very limited amount of correspondence and staff notes. The records, largely duplicates of material in the more extensive Bill files maintained by the Albany Office, nevertheless document to some degree the role of the Legislative Representative in conveying to the Legislature the support or opposition the municipal government, represented by the Mayor, on specific pieces of legislation. The lack of original documents in these files indicate the relatively passive or backup role played by the New York City office of some interest, pending the receipt of the Albany files, are the “Reports on State Legislation,” analyzing the City agencies concerned, of the potential effects of legislation desired or opposed—all part of making up the Mayor’s usual “Legislative Package.” The bills originated in the Assembly go only to number 13,200. Those with number above 30,000 represents bills originated in the Senate (the 20,000 series numbering represent the opposite). See Accession of February 4 and April (?) 1981 for similar material of prior periods. Both are described as “City Bills Introduced in Albany.” Arranged numerically by Assembly bill number (with gaps).
