Maddy summaryThis bill requires New York State to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and EV-ready parking spaces at state-owned parking facilities. Specifically, facilities with 50-200 parking spaces must have charging stations in at least 10% of spaces, while larger facilities (over 200 spaces) must have them in at least 20%. All stations must meet minimum technical standards (40 amps, 208 volts), and the Office of General Services is responsible for installation, maintenance, and electrical upgrades. The mandate directly affects state properties used by the public, state employees, or for pay-per-use parking, including government buildings and parking lots.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans to cover at least one abuse-deterrent opioid pain medication per active ingredient, ensuring patients can access FDA-approved options designed to reduce misuse. It limits cost-sharing (like copays) for these drugs to the same level as non-abuse-deterrent opioids, preventing insurers from increasing patient costs to comply. The law also prohibits prior authorization rules from forcing prescribers to use non-abuse-deterrent opioids to access safer alternatives. It directly affects patients prescribed opioids, insurers, and healthcare providers by mandating equitable coverage for abuse-deterrent formulations. The policy applies to all opioid analgesics approved by the FDA with abuse-deterrent labeling.
