Maddy summaryA 1157 (2025) requires businesses handling New York residents' personal data - such as names, Social Security numbers, or financial details - to notify affected individuals within five days of discovering a security breach, replacing a previous 30-day deadline. This applies to any breach involving "private information" stored in computerized systems. The law maintains existing exceptions for law enforcement investigations but shortens the disclosure window significantly. The bill amends New York's general business law to enforce this faster notification requirement.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires businesses in New York to disclose when prices are set using algorithms that rely on personal data, mandating the clear statement "THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA" alongside any personalized pricing offer. It directly affects businesses selling goods or services to consumers (excluding insurers and financial institutions like banks or credit card companies). Key provisions ban the use of protected class data - such as race, gender, or age - to set different prices, preventing discriminatory pricing practices. The law empowers the state attorney general to enforce compliance through injunctions and impose civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows municipalities in New York to purchase materials, equipment, supplies, or certain services (excluding those covered under specific labor laws) through contracts established by other counties or municipalities, rather than only using their own local contracts. Municipalities must first verify that such purchases would result in cost savings after considering all factors like delivery and materials. The purchasing municipality remains solely responsible for payments and must subject all such purchases to its own audit and inspection. This change aims to increase cost efficiency through broader procurement options while maintaining accountability.
