Maddy summaryThis bill exempts certain property owners from requiring scaffolding safety measures during building work. Specifically, it removes the obligation for farm owners, owners of single- or two-family homes, and owners of multiple dwellings when they contract work but don't direct or control it (e.g., hiring a contractor for repairs). The change applies only to these owners in the specified scenarios, not to contractors or property owners who manage the work. Safety requirements for scaffolding remain in place for all other cases.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates financial incentives for New York counties and New York City to investigate and prosecute Medicaid fraud. It requires that counties receive either 100% of their local share of recovered funds (as defined by state budget records) or 10% of the total amount recovered - whichever is greater - when fraud cases result in restitution or civil forfeiture. The remainder of recovered funds must be deposited into the state general fund. This policy directly affects local governments by increasing their potential share of fraud-related recoveries, encouraging proactive enforcement of Medicaid fraud cases.
