NYSBA Legislative Activities

The Association presents a series of program bills to the legislature annually. Affirmative legislation is generally developed at the Section or Committee level and must receive the approval of the Association's Executive Committee or the House of Delegates prior to introduction. The development of New York State Bar Association policy on major issues follows a similar pattern, although Sections and Committees may independently express their support for, or opposition to, legislation pending on the federal, state or local level.
