How to Make an Idea a Bill
When a person wants to make an idea into a law in New York State they must first make a proposal to the State Assembly or to the State Senate. If the Senate or Assembly endorses the bill they make a proposal, an Assembly-introduced bill is labeled (A), a Senate-introduced bill is labeled (S). On few rare occasions both the state and the assembly agree on endorsing a bill, this is known as a Uni-Bill. Whichever chooses to endorse the bill then makes the proposal to the other branch (Senate to Assembly or Assembly to Senate.) A vote is then cast and the majority wins. The Senate or Assembly can introduce and pass as many bills/laws as they want within a given period of time, there is no limit.

You left out the governor. He has to sign a bill before it's law.
And how would you go about introducing an idea to the Assembly or Senate? Walk into their meeting? When and where do they meet? My point is that you skipped over a crucial first step. (Normally, you'd meed with your assemblyman or senator and get him or her to promote your idea in the right place in the Legislature.
