Maddy summaryThis bill repeals Section 2307 of New York's Public Health Law, which previously addressed individuals knowingly infected with venereal disease. The repeal removes legal provisions that could have led to prosecution of people with certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) who were aware of their status. The law takes immediate effect, preventing any future prosecutions or legal actions under the repealed section. This change directly affects individuals previously covered by this specific public health law provision, though it does not alter other STI-related laws or public health practices.
Requires certification of filings produced using generative artificial intelligence; requires the brief of an appellant to contain a disclosure of the use of generative artificial intelligence in the drafting of the brief and certification that the content therein was reviewed and verified by a human.
Maddy summaryBill A 3365 limits the timeframe insurance companies have to recover overpayments from healthcare providers. It reduces the "lookback period" from the current 24 months to 12 months after the original payment was received. This means health plans must initiate overpayment recovery efforts within one year. However, this 12-month limit does not apply if the overpayment recovery is based on suspected fraud, intentional misconduct, abusive billing, or if it's initiated by a self-insured plan or government program. This bill directly affects how health insurance companies and healthcare providers manage financial discrepancies.
Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits foreign-influenced business entities from contributing to or spending on New York state and local elections. It defines "foreign-influenced" as businesses where foreign owners hold ≥1% of shares (single owner) or ≥5% (multiple owners), or where foreign entities influence political decisions. Businesses making election-related spending must file a certification signed by their CEO confirming they meet the criteria. Violations carry felony charges and civil penalties, directly affecting businesses with significant foreign ownership and election committees receiving such funds.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits involuntary servitude and forced labor in all New York state and local correctional facilities, directly affecting incarcerated individuals. It amends the Civil Rights Law to explicitly ban slavery, involuntary servitude, and forced labor for all people in New York - including those convicted of crimes - and adds a new Correction Law section prohibiting any labor compelled through force, threats, or adverse actions (like disciplinary measures). The law makes it illegal for facilities to require labor against an individual's will using coercion or fear of punishment. This represents a concrete legal change to end forced labor practices within New York's prison system.

Maddy summaryThis bill increases the standard fee that New York notaries public can charge for common services from $2 to $5 per transaction. It directly affects notaries by raising fees for administering oaths, certifying acknowledgments of documents, and swearing witnesses. The key provision updates Section 136 of the executive law to replace all instances of "$2" with "$5" for these specific notarial acts. Electronic notarial services are excluded from this change and will continue to be regulated separately. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
