Let's solve the equation step by step:

Given:

\[ 6(2y - 1) - 2(3y) = 3 \]

First, distribute the terms:

\[ 12y - 6 - 6y = 3 \]

Now, combine like terms on the left side:

\[ (12y - 6y) - 6 = 3 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 6y - 6 = 3 \]

Next, add 6 to both sides:

\[ 6y = 3 + 6 \]

So we have:

\[ 6y = 9 \]

Now, divide both sides by 6:

\[ y = \frac{9}{6} \]

This can be simplified to:

\[ y = \frac{3}{2} \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is:

\[ y = \frac{3}{2} \]

Feel free to enter \( \frac{3}{2} \) as your final answer.
