I guess being from New York, I don't see this bill in the same way many others do. Fusion voting, when utilized effectively, actually helps minor parties stay relevant. Which candidate receives the Independence or Conservative Party line in New York matters in some races - and allows minor parties more influence in the system than they would in states without fusion voting.
There's no need to limit fusion voting to non-STV elections. Any party would be foolish to cross-endorse too many candidates in an STV Senate election - that would limit their influence.
