Assemblyman Daniel O'Donnell, a gay Democrat from Manhattan, has introduced a measure to legalize same-sex marriage in New York.

The bill to amend the domestic relations law allowing same-sex couples to marry (A7600), which O'Donnell has navigated through the Assembly three times previously, is now live, but it's not certain whether the measure will advance or if Speaker Sheldon Silver will wait for a program bill from Gov. Andew Cuomo.

O'Donnell's press release stated, "In order to ensure the bill has the time necessary to be taken up by the Assembly before the end of this year's session, Assembly Member O'Donnell plans to circulate A7600 among his colleagues for co-sponsorship until May 25th."
