The legislature agreed to the changes.

I have asked this repeatedly. Maybe you can answer it

Outside of the quote from the governor where she makes this statement, WHERE is this agreement? Under what authority was the agreement made, WHO in the legislature agreed to it? Under what authority did this person(s) make the agreement

I ask because currently the NY legislature is not in session, and no vote could have taken place which is normally how one gets an "agreement" from a legislature

It reads like either a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_statement sort of scenario, or that there's been an agreement with leadership to push through an amending law as soon as possible.

Given that the original law was passed with a veto proof majority, what happens if the actual members of the legislature simply refuse to pass an amending law?

There's probably a quid pro quo that motivates them to amend it.

That would be a good reason to start calling them.

I like you have seen that line parroted, and I thought this would be the place that shows the state of affairs:

The governor told the legislative sponsors that they had to accept these changes or she would veto the bill. It was accept this reduction, or nothing.

Didn't it pass with a veto-proof majority?

Representatives won't be picking the fight against governor since there's a chance that said governor might veto something else with their name on it. One hand rubs another in other words.

Can the original sponsors just change the bill, between the bill passing the senate and the governor signing it, without having such amendments voted on by the senate and assembly?
