Capitol Watch > 2004 Bill Ratings

Bill Memo Archives
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.
