Maddy summaryThis bill (A 1467) adds "to recover after a stillbirth" as a qualifying reason for paid family leave under New York's workers' compensation law. It directly affects employees who experience a stillbirth, allowing them to take paid leave for recovery. The key provision amends existing law to include stillbirth recovery alongside other covered reasons like bonding with a newborn or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The change applies to all policies or contracts issued, renewed, or modified after the effective date. This is a specific policy update to expand access to paid leave for a defined health-related event.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include fires caused by manufacturing controlled substances (like illegal drugs) within the definition of first-degree arson. It directly affects individuals who manufacture controlled substances and cause fires, whether to buildings, contents, or people, by expanding the circumstances that trigger this severe felony charge. The key change adds that "while manufacturing, attempting to manufacture or endeavoring to manufacture a controlled substance in violation of article two hundred twenty," causing fire or destruction now qualifies as first-degree arson. This creates a specific legal pathway to prosecute drug manufacturing operations that result in fires, without altering the underlying drug laws.
