The People of the State of New York, represented in the Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Purpose To urge congress to include women in selective service registration to further equalize men and women’s rights. Summary of Provisions Section 1 Selective Service- the law responsible for supplying U.S. armed forces with people in the event of a national emergency. It is an independent agency of the federal government's Executive Branch. Section 2 Both men and women will be mandated to register for the draft within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. If either fail or refuse to register, one could be sent to prison for up to 5 years and may be fined up to $250,000. In addition, one cannot qualify for federal student grants or loans for college, job training benefits and state and federal jobs. Justification Women should have the same rights as men are afforded. If women want equal rights and equal opportunities as men then they should have to adhere to the same rules and regulations. Women have proved themselves to be willing and able to serve in the military. Both women and men will have to take both physical and mental tests to make sure they are fit and able to serve if the draft went into effect. Fiscal Implications The fiscal implications will be nominal. Effective Date This resolution will go into effect at the start of the upcoming year after its passage. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 STATE OF NEW YORK YMCA YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT BILL NUMBER AF - 23 INTRODUCED BY: Chelsea Bona, Scott McPhie, Seth Gliksman, and Kelsey Whelpley AN ACT TO: amend section 182.20 of the Criminal Procedure Law to mandate video arraignment The People of the State of New York, represented in the Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Purpose: The purpose of this bill is to mandate that the arraignment process be done through video. When a person is arrested and accused of a felony, they must be transported to and from court with police escorts. There, judges, attorneys, court officers, and others must be paid for their presence. This process could be accomplished quickly and more effectively with a video system, and therefore save the state money. Summary of Provisions: 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law and except as provided in section 182.30 of this article, the court, in its discretion, will dispense with the personal appearance of the defendant being charged with a felony, except an appearance at a hearing or trial, and conduct an electronic appearance in connection with a criminal action [pending in Albany, Bronx, Broome, Erie, Kings, New York, Niagara, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange Putnam, Queens, Richmond, St. Lawrence, Tompkins, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Clinton, Essex, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Warren, Westchester, Suffolk, Herkimer or Franklin county provided that the chief administrator of the courts has authorized the use of electronic appearance and the defendant, after consultation with counsel, consents on the record. Such consent shall be required at the commencement of each electronic appearance to such electronic appearance]. 2. If, for any reason, the court determines on its own motion or [on the motion of any party that the conduct of an electronic appearance may impair the legal rights of the defendant, it shall not permit the electronic appearance to proceed. If, for any other articulated reason] either party requests at any time during the electronic appearance that such appearance be terminated, the court [shall] may grant such a request. Upon the adjourned date the proceeding shall be recommenced from the point at which the request for termination of the electronic appearance had been granted. Justification Transporting alleged criminals is dangerous, time consuming and expensive; in order to help the state and the citizens within it, we must implement a video arraignment system. Fiscal Implications Each year our tax dollars are wasted on an unnecessary expense. By paying an initial start-up fee and for the upkeep of a video arraignment system, we will save the money that was previously spent on the transport of the arrested. Effective Date This will go into effect two years after the passage of this bill.

Any student that attends a charter school is paid for by the tax dollars of the members in the community they are from. It is not fair that tax payers are providing the tuition for students (whom they don’t even know) to attend a Charter School. With the aid to education getting slashed every year, it is vital that we save as much money as possible to help preserve our schools and protect students’ futures. By cutting the funding for Charter Schools, the money saved would be allocated to public schools. In essence, Charter schools are to be made self-sustaining and be funded only by a tuition enacted by the specific school. Summary of Provisions Section 1: Definitions A) Charter Schools: are primary or secondary schools that operate according to a five-year charter funded only by a private source. B) Private School: A school supported by a private organization, private individuals or by the payment of fees rather than by the government C) Public School: A school supported by public funds Section 2: §3202 of the New York State Education Law 8. Homeless children. A homeless child, as defined in subdivision one of section thirty-two hundred nine of this article, over the age of five and under twenty-one years of age, who has not received a high school diploma, shall be entitled to attend a public school without payment of tuition, in accordance with the provisions of section thirty-two hundred nine of this article. 9. Charter schools: Charter schools, as defined by the definitions, are open and attended by choice. They are separate and indifferent to the public schooling system. Any student wishing to attend a Charter School is required to pay the tuition in place. The tuition will be up to the specific Charter School’s discretion. The Charter School will not be subject to receive public funding under any circumstance. Any Charter school is not to be chartered solely by school districts, teachers, parents, activists, state-authorized, non-profit groups, universities and/ or government entities. Any entity listed in the previous statement wishing to donate money towards the charter school, may do so as long as it does not solely fund the school and its attendees. Justification Every year, school districts are giving portions or their already scarce budgets to fund charter schools. This occurs at the taxpayer’s expense. Lately, their produced results have not even been worth it. Typically, students from charter schools perform at a lower level than their peers in public schools. This is due to the fact that charter schools have a greater tendency to hire inexperienced teachers than public schools. Charter schools are not subjected to the same rules as public schools, yet are funded in the same way: with public money. Fiscal Implications By making Charter Schools self-sustaining, New York State will be saving an abundance of money. With 35,000 students attending Charter Schools in New York State, there is a substantial amount of tax dollars that, given the economic circumstance, New York cannot lose. This bill does not cost any money to be implemented but will be saving money in the long run. This legislation will save public schools money each year that they would regularly have to put towards funding charter schools. They will be able to allocate that money for other programs within their own school, if they so choose. Effective Date This bill will go into effect exactly one year after its passage 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 STATE OF NEW YORK YMCA YOUTH AND GOVERNMENT BILL NUMBER AF - 36 INTRODUCED BY: Morgan Chamberlain, Marie DeLorenzo, Tori Persons, Mitchell Jordon AN ACT TO: Amend section 606 of existing tax law S884-2011 to provide additional assistance to in-home caregivers by increasing the tax credit from twenty percent to forty percent The People of the State of New York, represented in the Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Purpose The passage of this amendment will create addition revenue for the state along with decreasing the money being spent on Medicaid every year. By raising the tax credit from twenty percent to forty percent, it will give another incentive for people to care for their elders and in the long run, create family bonds Summary of Provisions Section 1 Caregiver- a person who provides unpaid assistance in daily living, health care, financial matters, guidance, companionship and social interaction. Tax Break- a tax deduction that is granted in order to encourage a particular type of commercial activity. Medicaid- an insurance program for New Yorkers who can't afford to pay for medical care. Section 2 For the purpose of this amendment, we provide the definitions set above as a background, and we wish to enact as follows: Amend section 606 of existing tax law S884-2011 to provide additional assistance to in-home caregivers. Regulations: In order to receive the tax credit a receipt must be shown at the time the money is being collected. Justification This will create revenue for New York State by decreasing the amount of money being spent on Medicaid each year. By giving an incentive for people to take care of their elders it will produce a sense of family along with providing seniors a loving and healthy environment Fiscal Implications The money given to the people will cost less than the money originally put into Medicaid. In the long run, this will save money for the state. Effective Date This amendment will be put into effect immediately upon passage.
