the "bad stuff" currently discussed is about manufacturers only making assemblies available, not components. (that is the big topic in the linked video) I diffed S4104 and S4104A and don't see that in the changes. I also don't see the interpretation of Louis Rossmann in the old version, the definition of "part" was always quite open to interpretation and neither "component" nor "assembly" are mentioned in S4104A. But the relevant point here is: the governors memo explicitly states that the manufacturer only needs to provide assemblies, not components, if there is a risk of injury. The only change from S4104 to S4104A using the word "injury" is the new section 5 about liability. The change mentioned in the governors memo is not in the amended bill that passed Senate and Assembly in May/June 2022.
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 governors memo describes 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 point 3.E related to emergency communication equipment, but it would be a stretch to match those. Again the change the governors memo mentions as being agreed upon is not there.
I would be happy if the governors approval memo is horseshit and talks nonsense. Because the alternative is that they are making backroom deals changing the bills text between senate vote and signing.
- Animats 4y agoRight. We need to wait until the NY site updates and shows the final version of the bill as "signed by governor". Probably Tuesday.
- Animats 4y agoThe bill status has been updated to "Signed by Governor".[1] The text hasn't changed since the version passed by the Assembly. [1] https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/s4104/amendment/a https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/s4104/amendm...
