The Latest: NY Legislature adjourns

ALBANY, N.Y. – The Latest on the New York Legislature as it works toward adjournment (all times eastern):

5:25 a.m.

The New York Legislature has adjourned following votes to extend Mayor Bill de Blasio’s control of New York City schools for one year.

The Senate and Assembly wrapped up their work early Saturday morning.

Lawmakers also passed measures to combat heroin and opioid addiction, expand access to breast cancer screening and allow bars and restaurants to serve alcohol before noon on Sundays.

Shortly before they adjourned, lawmakers also approved new regulations for online daily fantasy sports games.

Lawmakers had hoped to adjourn on Thursday but the dispute over extending mayoral control of schools in New York City sent the session into overtime.

2:20 a.m.

A bill legalizing, regulating and taxing online daily fantasy sports in New York state is on its way to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The Senate passed the legislation early Saturday morning as lawmakers worked to end their 2016 session. The Assembly has already endorsed the measure.

It was introduced after New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said last year that the games amounted to illegal gambling.

The largest commercial fantasy sports operators, FanDuel and DraftKings, agreed in March to stop taking bets in New York as lawmakers took up the issue.

Cuomo, a Democrat, has not said whether he supports the legislation.

Top lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo have agreed to a one-year extension of the policy giving Mayor Bill de Blasio control over New York City schools.

The deal announced Friday night is part of a broader series of agreements that could allow lawmakers to end the 2016 session by late Friday or early Saturday.

De Blasio wanted a seven-year continuation of the policy giving the mayor power over city schools, first enacted in 2002. Cuomo and Assembly Democrats pushed for three years, but Senate Republicans insisted on a one-year renewal.

The end-of-session agreement also includes requirements for schools to test water for lead.

Lawmakers had earlier agreed to proposals to combat opioid addiction, expand breast cancer screening and change alcohol laws to allow bars and restaurants to sell alcohol before noon on Sundays.

Top lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo have reached a deal on a proposed constitutional amendment to strip the state pensions from lawmakers convicted of corruption.

The compromise announced Friday night would also strengthen laws prohibiting campaigns from working with so-called independent political organizations, which can spend limitless amounts of money, as a way to circumvent campaign finance limits.

Additionally the proposal would make changes to disclosure rules, requiring political consultants to identify clients while expanding reporting requirements to cover smaller lobbying efforts.

The plan now goes to the full Legislature for consideration. The constitutional amendment requires voter approval.

The changes wouldn’t go nearly as far as the reforms government reform advocates say are needed to address Albany’s chronic corruption problem.

Nevertheless, Cuomo says they will increase government transparency.

Legislation allowing bars and restaurants to serve alcohol before noon on Sundays is on its way to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The bill would also allow establishments to begin serving alcohol at 10 a.m. on Sundays. It’s an effort launched by the Democratic governor to help businesses cater to the brunch crowd as well as fans of morning sporting events like European soccer.

Lawmakers also passed legislation Friday that would restrict opioid prescriptions to seven days and expand treatment options for addicts as part of a comprehensive plan to combat addiction.

The moves come as lawmakers seek to end their 2016 session.

A bill to regulate online daily fantasy sports was also under consideration, while legislation allowing Uber to expand outside of New York City appeared to be faltering.
