Maddy summaryThis bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize March 2026 as Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution directs the Governor to proclaim this month-long observance to raise public awareness about multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects bone marrow and bones. By aligning with the national awareness month, the bill aims to increase education and support for those affected by the disease and their families. The measure is ceremonial and does not change any laws or allocate funding.

Creates the "Checkout NY" pass, a comprehensive pass that allows for free or discounted use of state parks, historic sites and recreational facilities; provides one such pass to each consolidated, federated and cooperative public library system within the state free of charge for circulation.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a one-time energy price refund credit for New York state taxpayers who lived in the state during 2024 and meet specific income limits. Eligible residents receive between $150 and $400 depending on their filing status and income level, with higher amounts available for married couples and lower incomes. The credit is calculated based on 2024 tax information and will be issued as a refund or tax credit for the 2026 tax year. The legislation also ensures that any portion of the credit included in federal income will not be subject to New York state or local income tax.

Directs the department of health to establish and administer a program for the certification, operation, and oversight of two prescribed pediatric extended care centers to provide supportive services to medically stable and medically complex children who require continual care.

Directs the state board of real property tax services conduct a study on the feasibility of amending property tax revisions for senior citizens located in special districts and provide a report for such study.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows unused funds in New York's climate investment account - collected from electricity customers through utility bills - to be returned directly to those customers. Specifically, any uncommitted funds collected via the "bill-as-you-go" system (where fees are added to monthly utility bills) must be credited back to ratepayer accounts by the end of each fiscal year. The bill modifies existing law to require this refund, ensuring customers who paid these climate-related fees receive the unused portion. It directly affects electricity customers who contributed to the climate investment account but did not have their funds fully allocated for climate projects. The change is a procedural adjustment to fund handling, not a new policy for climate initiatives.

Limits the reimbursement amount of certain overpayment claims and reviews where such overpayment was due to the provider's submission of records which were not in accordance with program requirements at the time but which were in accordance with current requirements as a result of changes to guidelines or regulations.
