The New York State Senate is the upper body of the New York State Legislature. The Senate meets at the State Capitol in Albany. 62 Members serve in the State Senate. The Lieutenant Governor is the President of the Senate and its presiding officer and has one vote only to break a tie. The Legislature meets every year, typically for several days a week from January through mid-June and at the call of the Legislative leaders at other times during the year. Both Senators and Assembly members are elected on even numbered years for two-year terms. In a 1964 federal court order, issued pursuant to a reapportionment case, legislators elected in 1964 and 1965 were limited to one-year terms, but two-year terms commenced again with the 1966 election[1].

Current leadership

2009-09-09 The leadership situation remains volatile, evidently mostly about power and politics machinations, and is apparently again in the Democrats's hands -- for now; next week, who knows? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Senate

On June 8, Democratic senators Hiram Monserrate and Pedro Espada joined with the Republican caucus to vote for new leadership in the senate, thus displacing the Democratic Party as the party in control.[2]
