The Governor would sign the bill but the leader of the Senate has said he will not bring this bill to a vote in the Senate -- so it would die.

I think a lot depends on Governor Spitzer's support for the bill. In Massachusetts, the current governor lobbied very hard and helped defeat the anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment even when it looked like it was going to pass. If Gov. Spitzer throws his weight behind this bill, he could get it to pass the New York Senate and it then it would become law. However, right now this bill is not even going to get a vote in the Senate so don't start making Niagara Falls NY wedding plans yet.
