A bill's sponsor is its prime sponsor, as the Legislature records it; cosponsors and multisponsors aren't counted, and a bill introduced by the Rules Committee or for the budget counts for no member. New York passes most bills by substitution: the second chamber passes the first chamber's bill in place of its own identical one, which is then counted as passed for its sponsor too, marked "through its companion".
