Repeals provisions relating to mandatory anti-arson applications for insurance coverage to insure any building against the peril of fire or explosion.
Maddy summaryThis bill expands the residential redevelopment inhibited property exemption to all cities, towns, and villages in the state, removing a current restriction that limited it to one specific city. It allows any municipality to adopt local laws designating properties as "redevelopment inhibited" if they are neglected, abandoned, or have conditions (like long vacancy or zoning violations) preventing private redevelopment. Property owners in designated areas can then receive an exemption from taxes on the increased value of their property after redevelopment, provided they own a one- to four-unit residence, maintain owner-occupancy, and file annual residency affidavits. The exemption covers only the incremental tax increase from redevelopment, not the base property value, and requires compliance with building and zoning codes.
Maddy summaryThis bill (A 8417) extends the expiration date of the September 11th worker protection task force act from June 10, 2025, to June 10, 2030. It directly affects the existing task force established to address health and safety concerns for workers who responded to the 9/11 attacks. The key provision is a simple amendment to the act's expiration date, prolonging the task force's authority without altering its purpose or duties. This procedural extension ensures the task force can continue its work supporting affected workers through 2030.
Provides additional credits to children and siblings of New York city sanitation members who died in the performance of duty as the natural and proximate result of the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001.
Establishes an optional twenty-five year retirement plan for certain public safety dispatchers, public safety telecommunicators, 911 operators, communications officers, police communication technicians, emergency services operators and emergency services dispatchers employed by the state, or a county or municipal emergency services department.
Maddy summaryThis bill (A 4718) makes permanent disability benefits for volunteer firefighters who develop heart or coronary artery conditions. It updates a 1977 law by removing an expiration date (previously set for June 30, 2025) that would have ended these benefits. The change directly affects volunteer firefighters whose heart-related disabilities occur after the law's effective date. The bill preserves existing benefits without creating new ones, ensuring continued support for eligible firefighters.
Provides that a policy of this state should be to increase housing options and opportunities, including but not limited to affordable, and workforce and senior housing.
Establishes the New York road salt reduction council and the New York road salt reduction advisory committee to provide a mechanism for interagency cooperation and coordination to implement the recommendations of the report of the Adirondack road salt reduction task force.
Maddy summaryBill A 4044 makes permanent certain fees that municipalities charge for emergency medical services (EMS), removing a previous four-year expiration date from a 2022 law. This change affects local governments that set and collect these fees for EMS services provided within their jurisdictions. The bill amends existing law to ensure these specific fees remain in place indefinitely, rather than requiring annual renewal. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, applying to all EMS-related fees collected after that date.
Requires that all procedures and other matters related to the receipt or discontinuation of benefits available under section two hundred seven-c of the general municipal law shall be subject, upon request of the affected employee, to a de novo evidentiary hearing.
