Update 3: The Senate also cleared public authority reform, one of the other five bills named by Shafran as on the agenda.
Update 2: The Senate just passed the long-debated, long-awaited deficit reduction package, which was expected to come first before marriage equality. Phew.
Update: The bill just passed the Senate Rules Committee.
From Austin Shafran, the spokesperson for the NYS Senate Majority Conference:
"The Senate will reconvene in extraordinary session today at which time it intends to vote on the deficit reduction plan, Tier V pension reform, public authority reform, and marriage equality legislation.
Session is streamed live on the internet at http://nysenate.gov; the debate on marriage equality will be carried via satellite, with coordinates to be released later in the day prior to the bill being brought to the floor."
I will be live-blogging the debate when it starts, and will have more on vote numbers later today.
