This bill requires New York State to keep lottery winners' personal information confidential from the public, including names and addresses. It directly affects anyone who wins a lottery prize over $5,000, preventing the state lottery division from disclosing their identity without their explicit consent. The key provision mandates that winners must actively consent for their details to be shared; otherwise, the state cannot publish or share their information publicly. The law also clarifies that payment procedures remain unchanged, including payments to estates or under court orders, but anonymity applies to all public disclosures. This is a privacy-focused change to existing lottery procedures.
This bill requires New York's health department to create and operate a free mobile application for individuals eligible for Medicaid who are pregnant, postpartum, or planning pregnancy.

Developers must report anonymized usage data (like user numbers and engagement) to state lawmakers. The app will be available across mobile platforms and must comply with state health resource standards.

S 681 prohibits most private employers from requiring fingerprinting or mandatory iris/retina scans as a condition of hiring or continued employment. It directly affects private-sector workers and employers, with key exceptions for state/municipal employees, public hospitals, medical colleges affiliated with public hospitals, and private hospitals. The bill amends labor law to make this prohibition explicit and takes effect immediately upon enactment. It does not apply to government workers or healthcare facilities receiving public funding.
