Maddy summaryThis bill (A 10090) creates a new process for the Superintendent of Financial Services to place insurers in "administrative supervision" when they face financial hazards. It directly affects insurers deemed to be in a hazardous condition - such as those failing to comply with laws, operating fraudulently, or exceeding their legal authority - requiring them to fix issues within 60 days. During supervision, the Superintendent can restrict key activities like paying claims, selling assets, or writing new policies without approval, and the insurer must cover all supervision costs. The process includes formal hearing rights for insurers to challenge orders, while maintaining confidentiality of supervision records.

Maddy summaryThis bill is a procedural amendment to insurance law that clarifies procedures for conserving assets of insurers. It updates sections governing when the superintendent (insurance regulator) may order asset conservation for domestic, foreign, or alien insurers, and specifies when the superintendent acts as conservator or ancillary receiver. The bill modifies existing legal language to streamline processes for handling insurer financial distress, particularly regarding coordination with domiciliary states. It does not create new requirements or directly affect consumers, businesses, or insurers beyond refining regulatory procedures. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as requested.)

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state constitution to allow the legislature to adjust the number of justices on the supreme court in any judicial district. It sets a population-based limit: the number of justices cannot exceed one per 50,000 residents (or any fraction over 30,000) based on the latest census. The legislature may also reduce justices, but not below the current number in any district. The proposed change requires voter approval in the 2026 general election.

Maddy summaryThis bill would amend the state constitution to establish a fundamental right for all people to access public information and attend government meetings. It guarantees the right to inspect or copy government records and receive notice of, and attend, public meetings without unreasonable restrictions. The provision would apply to all government entities and require them to provide access to records and meeting details. This change would make public information access a constitutional right, not just a statutory privilege.
