Currently, Assemblyman Magnarelli serves as Chairman of the NYS Assembly's Transportation Committee. This Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing legislation and overseeing the State's management of all types of transportation systems within the State. As Chair, I am interested in developing and reviewing legislation covering a wide range of topics affecting the movement of people and goods throughout the State. The committee's jurisdiction includes oversight and analysis of the Departments of Transportation (DOT) and Motor Vehicles (DMV), the Thruway Authority and various regional transportation authorities (such as CENTRO here in Central New York) and commissions. It is an extremely active committee; during the 2017-2018 term there were 773 bills referred to the committee. |
