It didn't die without a fight and there was at least a bit of positive movement.

New York lawmakers reportedly worked until the last minute to pass a marijuana legalization bill, but they couldn’t come to an agreement over some details, including how tax revenue from cannabis should be used.

It's one of the bills I was hoping would pass and was miffed that it didn't. I'm sure it will come up again next year though and hopefully our lawmakers will have worked things out and it will finally be legalized.
