N.Y. Assembly Rules Rule 5, § 1: Attendance

Section 1. Attendance. a. Attendance of members in the bar of the

House during sessions of the House shall be continuously recorded

electronically unless otherwise ordered by the Speaker.

b. The bar of the House shall be deemed to include the entire Assembly

Chamber and lobbies contiguous thereto as designated by the Speaker.

c. In all cases of the absence of members during the session of the

House, the members present may take such measures as they shall deem

necessary to secure their presence, and in addition to suspending them

from the service of the House for a given period, may inflict such

censure or pecuniary penalty as they may deem just on those who, on

being called on for that purpose, shall not render a sufficient excuse

for their absence. For the purpose of securing the attendance of

members, a call of the House may be made, but such call shall not be in

order after voting on the question has commenced, unless the roll call

has been withdrawn by the introducer. While a call of the House is in

progress no other business shall be transacted except by order of the

House.
