This change directly affects eligible veterans by removing their home's tax liability while leaving other existing veteran exemptions intact.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows victims of certain misdemeanor offenses to make statements at sentencing. Specifically, it applies when a defendant pleads guilty to a misdemeanor related to a vehicle traffic offense that originally involved a felony charge resulting in serious physical injury to the victim. Victims must request this statement at least 10 days before sentencing, and the court must notify the defendant at least 7 days in advance. If the defendant doesn't receive timely notice, they may request a sentencing delay. The bill does not apply to all misdemeanors, only those tied to specific traffic-related felony charges with serious injury.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans and issuers to cover rehabilitation treatment for children diagnosed with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) when an attending physician certifies the medical necessity in writing. It directly affects children with PANS and their families, ensuring insurance coverage for necessary rehabilitation services. The key provision mandates that insurers provide this coverage without additional barriers, relying solely on physician certification rather than prior authorization for the treatment. The law applies to all health insurance policies issued, renewed, or modified on or after its effective date.

Maddy summaryThis bill prevents local governments (cities, towns, or villages) from creating their own voting rules that expand eligibility beyond what state law allows. It specifically prohibits municipalities from granting voting rights to people who don't have the right to vote under state election law, through actions like changing local charters or passing local laws. The bill amends election law to ensure voting eligibility remains consistent with state standards and cannot be altered by local authorities. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
