This bill increases the maximum annual registration fee that local governments can charge mortgagees or their agents for registering residential mortgages in default, raising the cap from $75 to $300. It directly affects mortgage companies and their agents, who must pay this fee but cannot pass it on to borrowers in default. The key provision prohibits mortgagees from charging borrowers for the registration fee, ensuring the cost remains with the lender. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
S 8237 modifies the Green Jobs-Green New York program's on-bill financing for energy efficiency upgrades. It sets maximum loan amounts at $13,000 for residential properties and $26,000 for non-residential properties, with higher limits up to $50,000 if the payback period is 15 years or less. The bill requires the state to record a property declaration for these loans, ensuring the on-bill charge transfers with the property upon sale and mandates sellers to notify buyers about outstanding balances. The original property owner remains responsible for payments if the buyer does not formally assume the debt in writing.
S 8401 amends New York's dental licensing requirements to expand qualifying pathways for applicants. It allows individuals to meet the "experience" requirement for licensure by completing a postdoctoral specialty dental residency program (at least one year) or the first year of a multi-year program, provided the program is CODA-accredited and includes a formal competency assessment. Applicants entering after their first year of such a program must also pass the CDCA-WREB-CITA-administered ADEX clinical exam. This change directly affects dental applicants seeking licensure by broadening acceptable training paths beyond traditional residency programs. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
Prohibits naming dependent children under the age of 18 living in the same household with a parent or guardian in petitions to recover possession of real property and eviction warrants; seals any records pertaining to dependent children under the age of 18 living in the same household with a parent or guardian who were residing on or removed from such property.
This bill (S 7602) designates a specific 0.5-mile stretch of State Route 68 in Ogdensburg (from Albany Avenue to Commerce Street) as a ceremonial dedication to Fort de la Presentation, a historical site. It requires installing signs reading "Highway Dedicated to Fort de la Presentation" but explicitly states the highway’s official name will not change. The bill is purely symbolic, with no impact on traffic, commerce, or road maintenance. It does not alter the highway’s legal designation or affect any residents or businesses directly.
S 8246 restricts vendors seeking state procurement contracts from making campaign contributions to statewide elected officials or candidates during a defined "restricted period." This period begins when a vendor first lobbies for a contract, advertises a procurement opportunity, or engages in a non-competitive contract, and ends six months after the contract is awarded. Vendors must certify in their procurement contracts that they made no such contributions during this time, and contracts cannot be awarded if this certification is missing or false. Violations may lead to vendors being deemed "non-responsible" for contract awards, unless the contract is deemed essential for public health, safety, or property.
Provides that persons charged with a parking violation shall be able to make an electronic court appearance unless a locality elects not to permit electronic appearances.
This bill (S 82) requires all New York City public schools to have at least one certified assistant principal. It directly affects NYC schools and their administrative staffing. Key provisions include mandating that assistant principals handle school safety when the principal is absent and may be required to attend training to address educational needs. The bill sets minimum staffing standards to ensure school safety and proper management, without changing funding or creating new programs.
