Statement of Assemblywoman Amy Paulin on the Attack at Temple Israel in Michigan

On Friday, Governor Hochul signed into law my landmark legislation, the Medical Aid in Dying Act. Here is the full press release.

This week, New York will become the 13th state to legalize Medical Aid in Dying. The 85-60 vote in the Assembly reflects years of listening, learning, and building consensus. To every advocate who never gave up: thank you. We did this together.

My bill to protect healthcare providers who prescribe and dispense mifepristone has passed in the Assembly and Senate! A.9217/S.8544, with Senator Hinchey, ensures that medical professionals will not face criminal charges if federal approval of the drug is revoked. (1/2)

My statement on ICE’s killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

My statement on the arson attack at Congregation Beth Israel in Jackson, Mississippi.

Yesterday was the first day of the 2026 Legislative Session, and I am excited to get to work passing impactful legislation! Last year, 27 of my bills were signed into law by the Governor, the most of any Assembly Member, and I will continue to fight for bills that benefit New Yorkers.

My statement on the horrific shooting in Sydney, Australia.

Thank you Rabbi Jonathan Blake and Rabbi Rachel Timoner for this moving piece in support of Medical Aid in Dying. www.lohud.com/story/opinio...

My organ donation bill is now law! It allows close friends to authorize organ donation when someone passes away w/o family. Until now, NY was 1 of 7 states that didn't recognize close friends in these decisions, even though they're already trusted to make healthcare choices for living patients.

My adoption bill has been signed into law! It ensures that individuals who were adopted by NYers can obtain a NYS birth cert. This fixes a gap that prevented foreign-born adoptees from getting NY birth certificates if they were adopted after 18 or missed getting one before 18.

Please join me tomorrow, November 13, from 5–6 PM at Chase Park in Scarsdale as we rally in support of the Medical Aid in Dying Act!

Join me Thurs, 11/13, from 5–6 PM at Chase Park in Scarsdale to rally in support of Medical Aid in Dying! This important legislation would give terminally ill, mentally capable adults the compassionate option of medical aid in dying. Let’s come together to urge Gov. Hochul to sign it into law.

My bill with @michellehinchey.bsky.social which creates a research registry on FTD to fight this little-understood form of dementia has been signed into law! This makes NY the first state to establish a research registry for FTD, an important step to improve care and move closer to finding a cure.

Signed Into Law! My bill with @senatorharckham.bsky.social which requires law enforcement officers to take custody of firearms when responding to domestic violence incidents has been signed into law! This is a critical step towards protecting DV survivors and preventing deadly escalations.

Hallelujah! After more than two years in captivity, all of the hostages who are still alive are finally free. (1/2)

I am heartened by the news of a ceasefire. Now we wait anxiously for the safe return of the hostages to their families. May this be the first step towards a lasting peace.

The indictment of @newyorkstateag.bsky.social Tish James is nothing more than the weaponization of the Justice Department to punish political enemies of the President. This is unacceptable and corrosive to our democracy.

The data is clear that for-profit hospice leads to lower quality care at a time when patients are most vulnerable. I urge @governor.ny.gov to sign my bill with @amypaulin.bsky.social to stop the expansion of for-profit hospice in New York. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Heard powerful stories today about CDPAP PPL implementation challenges. @nysdoh.bsky.social let's protect patients & caregivers by moving the health assessment deadline to 12/31/25 to give everyone the time they need.

Following the recent federal vaccine guideline changes, I've introduced the Vaccine Integrity Act, legislation that would allow continued access to vaccines for NYers and ensure insurance coverage for vaccinations. Read the full press release at nyassembly.gov/mem/Amy-Paul....

My heart goes out to Charlie Kirk’s family. His death is a tragedy. This year we have seen several heinous acts of political violence. This bloodshed has no place in our democracy.

The fed govt’s $7.5B cut to NY’s Essential Plan will detrimentally affect 1.7M NYers. 450K will lose coverage, 1.3M will face reduced benefits, and hospitals, employers & our economy will feel the strain.

Today we remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, honor the heroic first responders, and vow to never forget.

When we safeguard our children, we protect our future and the future of New York State. Three more of my bills to protect children have now passed in the Assembly and Senate

I stand strongly and unequivocally with Israel. Israel has taken decisive action to defend its people and its future. No nation should be forced to wait for violence to strike before protecting its citizens.

Good news from Albany - more of my bills have passed in the Assembly! 🎯 ✅ A.1382 - Ensuring day care centers are free from controlled substances ✅ A.1988 - Helping hospitals establish age-friendly health systems ✅ A.3939 - Supporting family members when a loved one dies with the proper resources

Several more of my bills have passed in the Assembly! As we near the end of the legislative session in Albany, I continue to work hard to pass legislation that matters to New Yorkers. 💪 . . . @senatorcooney.bsky.social @lizkrueger.bsky.social @jamesskoufis.bsky.social

I'm so proud to have passed this bill which requires law enforcement officers to take temporary custody of firearms when responding to family violence incidents - a critical step towards protecting domestic violence survivors and preventing deadly escalation.

The Medical Aid in Dying Act (A.136/S.138) has just passed tonight in the Senate by a vote of 35 to 27- a historic step for dignity and choice at the end of life. I am grateful to my Senate partner, @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, whose advocacy has helped us reach this historic moment.

The horrific attack in Kashmir, where innocent Hindu pilgrims were brutally gunned down, shatters the heart. My thoughts are with the victims, families, and the Hindu American community grieving this senseless act of hate.

We're grateful to @amypaulin.bsky.social for putting people over plastic in New York by co-sponsoring A1749, the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act to reduce single-use packaging by 30%. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, please bring this bill to the floor for a vote.

At this week’s press conference on the Medical Aid in Dying Act, I was proud to stand with @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, whose advocacy in the Senate continues to move this vital issue forward. Having passed this bill in the Assembly, it’s time for the Senate to act.

Yesterday, the Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which allows terminally ill patients to request medication to peacefully end their suffering (A.136). New Yorkers facing unbearable pain deserve compassion, care, and the right to choose a dignified death.
