Last night at 6:15, the Healthy, safe and energy efficient outdoor lighting act passed the NYS Assembly without debate. At this point, it remains stuck in the Rules committee of the Senate.
Update: While the Senate has reconvened for a session today, Senator Bruno is retiring effective immediately as Majority Leader of the Senate. It appears that his replacement will be Dean Skelos of Rockville Center on Long Island.
Therefore, please call Senator Skelos' Albany office as soon as possible and urge that he bring the light pollution bill, S4364-A, to the Senate floor for a vote! The number is 518-455-3171.
If you can get your own senator to deliver a similar message to Senator Skelos, that would be a big help too!
Respectfully tell them that you want to see S4364 released to the Senate Floor for a vote as soon as possible. If you have time, you can tell them a reason or two why light pollution bothers you, or just say that this bill's time has come now that the Light Trespass provision has been removed.
