Every week during the state legislative session, Environmental Advocates of New York reviews all the bills that are introduced in legislative committees or on the floor of the Senate or the Assembly. We then issue a memo on any bill that has a significant environmental impact.

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.
