The Associated Students unanimously passed a bill that raises the honorarium cap of A.S. elected and appointed officials and senators on Wednesday, to go into effect during the 2021-22 school year.
While the bill required a two-thirds majority in the Senate to pass, it was passed unanimously. Senators elected to the 2021-22 senate, as well as senators planning to work with a BCU for the 2021-22 school year, recused themselves from the vote.Â

The plastic bag ban went into effect in New York City in March 2020, but enforcement did not begin in October 2020 due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The ban requires all entities that collect New York State sales tax to adopt a five-cent paper carry-out bag reduction fee and refrain from using carry-out plastic bags.

Some supporters of the law, launched just over six months ago, maintain it will take time to gain a hold due to ongoing stresses over the pandemic.
But others are furious that some bodegas and at least one local grocery chain appears to be flouting the new regulations barring single-use plastic bags.
