Maddy summaryThis bill modifies New York City police pension calculations for detectives, sergeants, and lieutenants. It adds 5%, 10%, or 15% to a retiree’s highest rank salary (based on 25, 30, or 35 years of uniformed service) when computing pension benefits, replacing existing calculations under section 14-111. The increase applies only to those retiring in their current rank after meeting the service threshold. It directly affects NYPD members in these ranks who meet the specified service years, without providing additional benefits beyond the pension calculation adjustment.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes when vehicle registrations expire, setting the expiration date to the last day of the month the registration is valid. It specifically states that registrations for most vehicles (excluding taxis or buses) will expire on the last day of the month, unless that date falls on a weekend or state holiday - then they remain valid until midnight of the next business day. Vehicle owners will need to renew registrations by the month's end, with the holiday exception preventing last-minute issues. The bill also adjusts renewal rules for cases where expired registration documents weren't surrendered before expiration.

Maddy summaryThis bill limits the information insurers must provide to determine suitability for term life insurance policies to just a consumer's age and annual income. It prohibits the insurance superintendent from creating or enforcing any regulations requiring additional suitability information (like investment goals or family needs) when selling or amending term life insurance policies. The law directly affects insurers selling term life insurance in New York and the superintendent's regulatory authority over such policies. Existing regulations (like 11 NYCRR Part 224) contradicting this bill are deemed null and void, requiring the superintendent to amend them.
