Legislative Memoranda

 
What are Legislative Memoranda?

Legislative memoranda are position papers that lay out the NYCLU’s position on bills that are under consideration by the legislature or on issues that we feel the legislature needs to address. These legislative memoranda are distributed to the governor’s office, state legislators, and to legislative staff members.

The state legislature convenes in two-year legislative cycles. Bills introduced in the first year of the cycle, but not enacted into law or vetoed by the Governor, remain active in both the Senate and Assembly in the second year.

To locate memoranda issued in a legislative cycle, please choose from the menu on the right.
