Maddy summaryThis bill requires most health insurance plans (issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2020) to cover specific contraceptive services provided by pharmacists without cost-sharing. It mandates coverage for all FDA-approved contraceptives (including over-the-counter options), emergency contraception, patient education, follow-up care, and up to a 12-month supply at once. Pharmacists dispensing self-administered hormonal contraceptives must receive reimbursement equivalent to other healthcare providers. The law directly affects insurance companies, pharmacists, and individuals seeking contraceptive care through insurance.

Relates to prevailing wage requirements applicable to brownfield remediation work performed under private contract as it relates to certain remediation activities, for sites that are seeking or have received a determination that the site is eligible for the tangible property credit component of the brownfield redevelopment tax credit, and the work is paid for in whole or in part by public funds.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends NYC's administrative code to streamline access to World Trade Center (WTC) disability benefits for police retirees. It creates a legal presumption that police members who filed timely notices of participation in WTC rescue/recovery efforts and later develop qualifying health conditions (like respiratory illnesses linked to 9/11 exposure) automatically qualify for disability benefits, unless proven otherwise. The key mechanism shifts the burden of proof: if the notice was filed on time, the pension board must presume the condition is work-related without requiring additional medical evidence upfront. This applies specifically to members who retired or separated with vested pension rights and is limited to reclassifying existing retirements as "accidental disability" without changing their retirement options.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans to cover backup cochlear implant devices for patients who need them, including during device upgrades or replacements after the initial implant. It directly affects patients with cochlear implants who currently lose access to backup equipment after 3-5 years, as insurers only cover backups at the time of initial surgery. The law mandates that insurance must cover the backup device (external components like a processor) whenever prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider, as long as the patient is using the implant. Coverage will follow standard insurance terms like deductibles and copays but must remain available throughout the patient's need for the device, effective January 2027.

Key provisions require the state gaming commission or attorney general to deny licenses or enforce penalties, including fines of $10,000-$100,000 per violation, with fines funding problem gambling education. Enforcement includes investigations, cease-and-desist orders, and hearings by state authorities.
