My understanding is the reason it hasn't passed is that each entity has dragged its feet and then bounced it onto the other one for stalling (not just in NY). Passing bills in one chamber and having it sit there in the other - or in both chambers, but pocket vetoed - is a common tactic for these things. So it might look like it's close to passing but in reality who knows how far it is.
