Maddy summaryThis bill requires motor vehicle dealerships to receive full and fair payment from their franchisors for all warranty-related work, including repairs, diagnostics, and parts. It mandates that payments for approved claims be made within thirty days and sets a specific method for calculating compensation based on the rates dealers charge their own customers for similar non-warranty services. The law also establishes a process for dealers to declare their reimbursement rates and limits exclusions to items like wholesale parts, tires, and routine maintenance. By defining "reasonable compensation" and outlining dispute resolution steps, the bill aims to ensure dealers are not underpaid for services performed under manufacturer warranties.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows the Seneca County Attorney to live in any county bordering Seneca County, rather than requiring them to reside specifically within Seneca County. It achieves this by amending the Public Officers Law to create an exception for attorneys who practice in New York courts, permitting them to hold the office while living in an adjacent county. The law maintains that county attorneys in other New York counties must still live in their respective counties unless the state legislature decides otherwise. This change takes effect immediately upon the bill's signing.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates specific sections of the state highway system connecting Ithaca and Geneva as the "Between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes Wine Trail." The affected roads include portions of State Route 96 and State Routes 96A, 5, 20, and 14, which run between the two lakes. This change is primarily symbolic, giving a formal name to these routes to highlight their connection to the local wine industry. The legislation does not alter traffic rules or funding but simply updates the official title of these highways in state records.
