Legislative Session Ended June 21st
 
The Legislative Session ended on Wednesday June 21st. Unfortunately S1386A did not receive a Senate Floor Vote and A479A stalled in Committee.

There was no change in the crossbow language this year, however we did make progress and the 2 bills will return in 2018.

Every year since crossbow hunting became legal in 2014 there has been crossbow expansion bills introduced, but none of them received any action in their respective committees until this past session when S1386A was placed on the Senate Encon Committee Agenda and was passed out of committee. Although there was no full Senate vote, having it placed on the committee agenda and moving it out of committee is significant movement. A479A did not make it onto the Assembly Encon Committee Agenda, it saw an increase in Assembly Majority Co-Sponsors which is crucial for any movement in the Assembly.
 
In 2017 we submitted more than 2500 of YOUR letters to legislators in support of crossbow full inclusion bills S1386A & A479A. These letters were significant in moving S1386A out of the committee and in adding Assembly Majority Co-Sponsors. Additionally over 2000 letters were delivered to the Governor's office asking for support of full inclusion crossbow use.

NYCC remains committed to pursuing these 2 bills in the 2018 legislative session.

In preparation for the 2018 Legislative session, we will continue to collect support letters, which can be accessed from our web page. 

NYCC continued to grow in 2017, but we need to continue to grow and get our message out.

Thank you for your continued  support for the
New York Crossbow Coalition

Together WE Will Succeed!
