the "bad stuff" currently discussed is about manufacturers only making assemblies available, not components. I diffed S4104 and S4104A and don't see that in the changes.

The governors memo also talks about eliminating the requirement related to overriding security features, which is section 2.B of the bill, again the change the governor mentions is not in the amendment made earlier this year.

The governors memo also talks about business to business and business to government sales. There is a new point 3.E related to emergency communication equipment, but it would be a stretch to match those. Again the change the governor mentions is not there.

Right. We need to wait until the NY site updates and shows the final version of the bill as "signed by governor". Probably Tuesday.

The bill status has been updated to "Signed by Governor".[1] The text hasn't changed since the version passed by the Assembly.
