Some New York lawmakers are renewing the push for a state law that would lay the groundwork to pay reparations to black residents whose ancestors were enslaved.
Proponents gained steam after a task force in California last week recommended that the Golden State shell out $569 billion in reparations to slaves’ descendents there, or $223,200 apiece, because of lingering housing discrimination practices.
“This country was built on the backs of enslaved people. It has impacted everything — housing, economic development, education.,” she said.
The previously proposed New York bill — which called for the creation of an 11-member commission to study the issue — passed the assembly June 3 in a 104-45 vote but stalled in the senate.
Solages said she and other supporters want the revised bill addressed by Hochul and the legislature before the state budget is approved next year, so that any costs associated with the reparations commission can be included in the financial plan.

People said "We don't need a study", then a Pan Africanist in California wrote AB3121 which is literally a state model of HR40, and now NY and apparently Rhode Island are following suit! People are seeing the light! 
HR40 is in the House and to this day S.1083 has received NO love, as if it wasn't introduced to the Senate. The Senate is a steep hill so that would require some voting tho 
Ya'll carry on
