A 9600: Includes avoidant/restrictive food intake disorders as eating disorders for the purposes of mental health

This bill expands the legal definition of "eating disorder" in New York State law to explicitly include avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), alongside existing conditions like anorexia and bulimia. It updates two key laws: Section 30.02 of the Mental Hygiene Law (which defines eating disorders) and Section 207 of the Public Health Law (which governs awareness programs). By adding ARFID to the definition, the bill ensures individuals with this condition qualify for mental health services and support programs currently available for other recognized eating disorders. The change directly affects people diagnosed with ARFID who seek mental health care, aligning state policy with current medical diagnostic standards. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.

S 9059: Limiting the shift between classes of taxable property in the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland

This bill limits how much the tax base proportion for any property class can change annually in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2026-2027. It caps annual increases at 1% above the previous year's adjusted proportion, but only if the town passes a local law approving this rule. If a change would exceed 1%, the town must adjust property class proportions to keep the total tax base at 100%. The bill directly affects Haverstraw property owners and the town's legislative body, which must formally adopt the rule before it applies.

S 8969: Requires health insurers to provide coverage for speech therapy for stuttering

This bill (S 8969) requires all health insurers in New York to cover speech therapy for stuttering under medical, major medical, or similar comprehensive insurance plans. It mandates coverage upon a physician's referral for both habilitative (developing speech skills) and rehabilitative (restoring speech) therapy, provided by licensed professionals. Insurers cannot impose limits on the number of therapy visits or set maximum benefit amounts for this coverage. The bill specifically allows insurers to deny coverage if therapy is already provided through school-based plans (like IEPs or IFSPs), but requires supplemental coverage outside of schools when recommended by a doctor.

A 10030: Requires health insurers to provide coverage for speech therapy for stuttering

This bill requires health insurers in New York to cover speech therapy for stuttering, directly affecting people with stuttering who need this treatment.

Coverage may be denied only if therapy is already provided through school-based education plans (like IEPs), but insurers must still cover supplemental therapy outside of school settings when a physician refers the patient. The law applies to all individual, group, and health service corporation insurance policies issued or renewed after its effective date.
