Maddy summaryThis bill removes an exemption that previously allowed restaurants, taverns, and similar food service establishments in New York to provide plastic carryout bags without restriction. It amends the state's bag waste reduction law to require these businesses to follow the same rules as other retailers regarding plastic bag usage. The key change means restaurants can no longer use plastic bags for takeout food without adhering to the state's bag reduction requirements. This directly affects all food service businesses that provide plastic bags for customer takeout or delivery.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows first responders, business owners, and others to leave naloxone (an opioid overdose reversal medication) at the scene of a known or suspected overdose instead of requiring direct handoff. It specifically permits entities like schools, hospitals, hotels, and retail stores to stock and leave naloxone for use in emergencies. The law also clarifies that using naloxone under this provision counts as first aid, protecting users from liability. This directly affects anyone who might witness an overdose and have access to naloxone, making emergency response faster and more accessible.
