New Yorks lagstiftande församling (engelska: New York State Legislature) utgör den folkvalda lagstiftande makten i den amerikanska delstaten New Yorks delstatsstyre (engelska: New York State Government).^[2]

Den består av två kammare: delstatssenaten (engelska: New York State Senate) med 63 ledamöter och delstatsförsamlingen (engelska: New York State Assembly) med 150 ledamöter. New Yorks guvernör kan lägga in veto mot antagna lagförslag, vetot kan upphävas med tvåtredjedels majoriteter i båda kamrarna.^[1] New Yorks lagstiftande församling sammanträder i New York State Capitol, uppförd mellan 1867 och 1899, i huvudstaden Albany.

Sedan sessionen 2019-2020 har Demokratiska partiet haft kvalificerade majoriteter i båda av den lagstiftande församlingens kamrar.

Bakgrund

Delstatsförsamlingen bildades 1777 i och med att den revolutionära provinskongressen antog delstaten New Yorks konstitution. Provinskongressen hade sina rötter som ett alternativ till den tvåkammarförsamling som fanns i den brittiska kolonin Provinsen New York från 1683 fram till 1775 och som bestod av ett överhus (engelska: New York Executive Council) och ett underhus (engelska: New York General Assembly). Då den äldre tvåkammarförsamlingen vägrade skicka delegater till Kontinentalkongressen så utropades provinskongressen sig som dess ersättare vid inledningen av det amerikanska frihetskriget.

1797 utsågs Albany till delstatens huvudstad och den lagstiftande församlingens säte.

Val

Valbar till båda husen i New Yorks lagstiftande församling är den som är amerikansk medborgare, bosatt i delstaten fem år och i sitt valdistrikt ett år innan ett val äger rum. Valen till båda kamrarna sker vartannat jämnt år samtidigt som valen till USA:s representanthus.^[1]

Det finns inga begränsningar i antalet val en ledamot i endera kammare kan återväljas.^[3]

New Yorks viceguvernör (engelska: Lieutenant Governor of New York) är ex officio senatens president (talman).^[4]

Läst 13 januari 2023. ”The New York State Senate is the upper house of the New York State Legislature. Its sixty-three members represent New York State and its more than 19 million citizens. The legislature’s primary purpose is to draft and approve changes to the laws of New York."
"The Legislature is the law-making branch of state government. It is a bicameral, or two-house, body composed of the Senate and the Assembly. The Constitution authorizes a Senate of varying number, currently 63 members, and an Assembly of 150 members, who are elected from districts throughout the State for two-year terms. Each member of the Legislature must be a United States citizen, a resident of the State for five years and, in most cases, of the Senate or Assembly district for one year preceding the election."
"The Senate and Assembly have several additional powers that are reserved solely for them in the Constitution. An important weapon in legislative deliberation is the override of the Governor’s veto. The Legislature can approve a law despite a veto by the Governor with the support of two-thirds of the membership in each house. However, the most common lawmaking procedure is the result of compromise among the Senate, the Assembly and the Governor.”
