New York State Assembly

The New York State Assembly is the lower chamber of the New York State Legislature, responsible for creating laws alongside the State Senate. It consists of 150 elected representatives called Assemblymembers, who serve two-year terms. The Assembly examines proposed legislation, votes on bills, and works on issues affecting New Yorkers, such as education, health, and transportation. It also plays a key role in checking the executive branch and has the power to initiate budget and impeachment proceedings. Together with the Senate, the Assembly helps govern the state by debating, amending, and enacting laws to address statewide concerns.
