Every week during the legislative session, Environmental Advocates
reviews all the bills that are introduced in legislative committees
or on the floor of the Senate or the Assembly. We will issue a memo
on any bill that has a significant environmental impact on New York
State.
The purpose of Environmental Advocates' rating system is to weight
bills according to their potential impact, either beneficial or detrimental,
on New York's environment. The
"Trees and
Stacks" rating system is designed to place appropriate emphasis
on each bill. At the end of the session, these weighted votes will
be totaled to arrive at a final score for each legislator.
