If anyone wants to track NY's "End to Double Jeoopardy Loophole bill"

The bill is NY State Assembly A10422... It hasn't really moved yet. THIS is the bill that would (hopefully) allow NY to prosecute in state court those criminal charges that likewise had jurisdiction in NY, but that might be wiped out in terms of Federal charges if Trump starts pardoning.
However, YOU can register FREE to get alerts on the Legiscan website: www.Legiscan.com
If, like me, you live outside NY, you will have to identify NY as your "chosen" state to be able to access info on this bill for free (there is a paid option that will let you track bills in multiple states). I assume you could change your state later, if you wanted to track a bill in your own state. Registration requires you to search for the bill (I provided the bill number up stream) then set up alerts.
Edited to UPDATE: In the Senate it is Senate Bill #8236. The bills remain in the "CODES" committee in both Senate and State Assembly. NOTE: This NY State legislature session is scheduled to conclude in just a few days: June 20. The next legislative session is not due to begin until next January. If these bills fail to be signed into law, there will be NO checks on Trump's ability to pardon by NY--the state probably BEST positioned to bring state charges for crimes committed in their jurisdiction. Perhaps NJ, or other states COULD, but surely NY is the best chance.
IF you live in NY, call your state representatives--Now!
