Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's social services law to ensure school-based health center services remain outside managed care programs for medical assistance recipients (e.g., Medicaid beneficiaries). It specifically prohibits these services from being provided through managed care plans, requiring them to continue being delivered directly outside such programs. The policy change directly affects students receiving medical assistance who use school health centers for care, maintaining their access to these services without managed care restrictions. The bill takes effect April 1, 2025, and amends existing law without creating new programs.
Maddy summaryThis resolution (K 787) asks Governor Hochul to officially declare September 26, 2025, as Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day in New York State. It directly affects the public and law enforcement community by raising awareness about suicide prevention, referencing national observances and statistics showing over 1,200 law enforcement deaths by suicide between 2016-2022. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but requests a ceremonial proclamation to honor fallen officers and reduce stigma around mental health support. It aligns with National Law Enforcement Suicide Awareness Day established by Blue H.E.L.P in 2020.
Maddy summaryThis resolution asks Governor Hochul to declare May 10, 2025, as "Golf Day" in New York State, aligning with National Golf Day. It does not create new laws or policies but symbolically recognizes golf's economic impact (supporting 2 million jobs and $100B annually) and social benefits, as highlighted by New York's golf industry and upcoming events like the 2025 Ryder Cup. The resolution has no direct legal effect beyond the Governor's potential proclamation.
