A state senate committee is expected to be announced today to discuss the next course of action for Queens lawmaker Hiram Monserrate, who faces a misdemeanor assault conviction.

Sources tell NY1 that Senate Majority Conference Leader John Sampson will announce a special committee Tuesday to investigate how to proceed with Monserrate. The committee is expected to consist of five Democrats and four Republicans.

This comes as calls for Monserrate's resignation grow.

Despite his acquittal on all felony charges, both Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand say Monserrate's conviction on a misdemeanor charge of injuring girlfriend Karla Giraldo warrants his resignation.

Schumer said in a statement that Monserrate's resignation would be “the right thing for the State of New York, the State Senate, and his constituents.”

Gillibrand said in a statement, “Domestic violence has no place in our society, and certainly has no place in the State Legislature. A court of law has found Sen. Monserrate guilty of domestic violence, and I believe he should resign immediately.”

The junior New York senator also said that if Monserrate does not resign that the State Senate move to expel him.

Monserrate faces up to a year in prison. He is set to be sentenced on December 4.
