Senator Rivera is thrilled to attend events that celebrate the great progress that has been achieved for our LGBTQIA+ communities. From being one of 33 Senators to pass the Marriage Equality Act in 2011 to voting to repeal the Walking While Trans ban, Senator Rivera remains deeply committed to ensuring New York’s LGBTQIA+ communities are supported and protected. Happy Pride Month!

SENATOR RIVERA JOINS PURA POLÍTICA
|
State Senator Gustavo Rivera was interviewed this week on Pura Política, a television show with Julio César García on Spectrum News NY1. The Senator expressed his disagreement with Governor Hochul's decision to delay the implementation of Congestion Pricing.
He also discussed the achievements of the 2024 legislative session, such as the Local Input in Community Healthcare Act (S8843-A), which requires public notice and engagement when a general hospital seeks to close entirely or a unit. Additionally, he outlined goals for the next session, including passing the Empire State Licensing Act (S5964) in both houses. This act would provide all New Yorkers who qualify with access to professional, occupational, commercial, or business licenses, regardless of their immigration status.
AUTOBODY NEWS: NEW YORK STATE SENATE PASSES BILL TO CURB SIDEWALKP PARKING NEAR AUTO REPAIR SHOPS
“In the neighborhoods I represent, and across New York City, some auto shop businesses occupy sidewalks and residential parking with cars under repair,” Rivera told Autobody News. “This results in out-of-maintenance cars blocking traffic and preventing residents from getting to and from their homes. Restricting public sidewalks, traffic flow and parking from the community for commercial purposes is unfair.”
State Senator Gustavo Rivera was interviewed by the magazine Autobody News about his bill that would require New York City automotive repair shops to obtain community approval while registering with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Read the full article here.
