ALBANY — Legislators today will be asked to vote Monday on a proposal to amend Assembly rules, Speaker Carl Heastie and Majority Leader Crystal D. Peoples-Stokes announced Sunday.

“The resolution would temporarily change the rules of the Assembly to allow for expedited voting and to establish the future possibility of voting remotely during declared states of emergency. The change will immediately allow for fast roll calls to be recorded during this time of emergency,” a release stated.
