By passing a new law, termed a "chapter amendment". These are agreed upon by the governor and the legislature in advance of the governor's signature and passed and signed rapidly thereafter.

Do you have a link to the text of this 'chapter amendment'?

https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/a1285 I believe it's actually already passed both the assembly + senate.

This appears to be a link to the bill, not to the 'chapter amendment' of the bill?

The name of the bill is misleading. This is separate from the bill that passed and was signed into law last year.

The first few lines of the text describe it as "...to amend a chapter of the laws of 2022... as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4104-A and A. 7006-B" (A4104A + A7006B are the bills/now law from last year)

I downvoted this comment. The person you’re replying to seems to be using gender-neutral pronouns in good faith, and I don’t think this comment contributes to the discussion.

No, it was fair. I used "they" to refer to the plural legislative body, and incorrectly used "he" to refer to the governor.
