Maddy summaryThis bill updates how New York State calculates payment rates for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which provide primary care in underserved communities. It changes the rate calculation method: through 2025, rates use the Medicare Economic Index, and after 2025, they use a federal cost adjustment formula (FQHC Market Basket inflator) adjusted for service scope. The state health department must analyze actual FQHC costs every three years starting in 2025 to set updated rates, ensuring payments reflect real costs while guaranteeing no facility receives a rate lower than the 2025 level. This directly affects FQHCs by potentially increasing their state-funded payments based on verified operational expenses.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes amending the state constitution to require that only U.S. citizens may vote in elections. It would replace the current voting eligibility language with a specific provision stating "Only citizens shall be entitled to vote," while maintaining existing requirements that voters must be at least 18 years old and residents of the state and their local area for 30 days prior to an election. The key change directly affects voting eligibility by restricting the right to vote to citizens, removing any existing non-citizen voting provisions. If passed, this would be a constitutional change, not a temporary law, requiring approval through the standard amendment process.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state constitution to prevent governors from calling for an immediate vote on budget bills, even in emergencies. It strengthens the existing rule requiring bills to be printed and available to all legislators for at least three calendar days before final passage, explicitly excluding budget and appropriation bills from the governor's emergency exception. The provision ensures budget bills must follow the standard three-day review period, barring urgent procedural votes. This applies to all budget-related legislation passed by the legislature. The bill is currently under review by the Judiciary Committee.
