Maddy summaryThis bill extends the expiration date for specific banking law provisions from September 10, 2024, to September 10, 2029. It directly affects banks, trust companies, credit unions, and other financial institutions by allowing them to continue exercising certain powers previously granted under national banking laws. The key mechanism is an amendment to existing statutes that delays their repeal while ensuring any rules already approved under these powers remain in effect after the date change. Ultimately, the legislation provides long-term stability for these financial regulations without altering their core content.
Requires insurers to provide coverage for tattooing of the nipple-areolar complex pursuant to or as part of breast reconstruction surgery if such tattooing is performed by a physician or other health care practitioner working within their scope of practice.
Prohibits public employers from diminishing health insurance benefits provided to retirees and their dependents or the contributions such employer makes for such health insurance coverage below the level of such benefits or contributions made on behalf of such retirees and dependents by the public employer as of December 31, 2021.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires law enforcement agencies to forward sex offender change-of-address notifications to the Division of Criminal Justice Services within five business days. It applies to any sex offender who updates their address or other status information, such as employment or school enrollment, with a local police department. The law mandates that the agency provide a copy of the submission to the offender while keeping a copy for its own records. Additionally, the bill maintains a ten-dollar fee for each registration update, though the fee is not required for the state to accept the information.
Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits landlords and public housing authorities from denying occupancy or evicting tenants solely because they own a dog of a specific breed, size, or weight. It applies to both private apartment buildings and public housing projects, ensuring that lease restrictions cannot be based on the dog's breed alone. However, the law allows property owners to continue enforcing reasonable rules regarding dangerous dogs or general pet policies that apply to all animals regardless of breed. The legislation took effect immediately upon enactment.
Relates to the obligation of a pharmacy to properly dispense or refill a prescription for a drug or device, or a non-prescription drug or device regardless of the ethical, moral or religious beliefs of any employee of such pharmacy.
Prohibits the sale of lithium-ion batteries used in micromobility devices, bicycles with electric assist or limited use motorcycles unless such batteries are manufactured in accordance with certain standards and specifications; provides a civil penalty; authorizes district attorneys, county attorneys, and corporation counsel to have concurrent authority to seek the relief.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires dealers to register limited use motorcycles at the time of sale within New York State. Under the new rules, these vehicles must be officially registered immediately when purchased from a dealer, rather than waiting for the buyer to handle the process later. The legislation also sets the annual registration fee at $25.50 and mandates that dealers collect a signed declaration from buyers who intend to use the motorcycle exclusively outside of New York. These changes aim to streamline the registration process for specific types of motorcycles while maintaining oversight through dealer involvement.
Maddy summaryThis bill extends the expiration date for regulations governing the licensing of facilities that slaughter animals or poultry from August 2024 to August 2028. The law directly impacts businesses operating these slaughterhouses by allowing them to continue under the current licensing requirements for an additional four years. It is a procedural measure that amends an existing statute to delay the automatic repeal of its provisions, ensuring the rules remain in effect until the new date.
