S 2. should not be part of the inserted text. Bills always use the following format:

Section 1. What sections/subsections of the law are we changing?
  Section 5
    Subsection A
    Subsection B
  Section 6
Section 2. The enacting clause

This confusion is partly my fault because the section character § is currently being replaced with a S. We should be able to accommodate anyway though.

Also all the text up to and including:

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS

can't be counted as inserted text because it is purely introductory text to the bill.

It actually seems like sometimes there can be 3 sections where section 2 is a severability clause. Regardless, all the actual changes to legislation should be under Section 1.
