S 10675: Imposes liability for damages caused by a chatbot impersonating certain licensed professionals

This bill amends New York's general business law to hold chatbot operators liable if their artificial intelligence systems impersonate licensed professionals, such as teachers or attorneys. The legislation defines a "covered profession" based on specific state education and judiciary laws, prohibiting operators from allowing their bots to act in ways that would be illegal for a human practitioner. Operators are required to provide clear, conspicuous notice that users are interacting with an AI system, and they cannot waive liability simply by disclosing the bot's non-human status. The attorney general is empowered to enforce these rules through civil penalties of up to fifteen thousand dollars per day and must maintain a website for public complaints regarding violations.

A 149: Relates to epinephrine devices in schools

This bill changes the law to require all public and non-public schools in New York State to keep epinephrine devices on-site in every instructional facility.

A 9058: Requires biannual certification of cooling towers

This bill (A 9058) requires building owners with cooling towers in New York City to submit biannual certification reports - due in January and July each year - confirming towers were inspected, tested, cleaned, and disinfected per health department rules. It mandates weekly microbial testing during operational periods, with owners required to address test results within 24 hours for minor issues or 12 hours for serious health threats. The bill increases civil penalties for violations: $2,500 for a first offense (up from $2,000) and $7,000 for repeat violations (up from $5,000), with higher fines ($12,500) if violations cause fatalities or serious injuries. Building owners must maintain inspection records for ten years and implement required maintenance plans.

S 10672: Relates to disposal of radioactive waste

This bill amends New York's environmental conservation law to classify all waste containing source, byproduct, or special nuclear material as hazardous waste. The legislation removes a previous legal exclusion that had kept certain radioactive materials from being treated as hazardous waste under state regulations. This change directly affects entities responsible for managing and disposing of radioactive waste within the state, requiring them to comply with stricter hazardous waste handling standards. However, the bill includes a provision stating that this classification does not apply where federal law preempts the regulation or cleanup of such materials.
