Changes the timing of certain discovery requirements to sixty days prior to trial

Maddy summaryThis bill changes when prosecutors must share evidence with defendants in criminal cases, moving the deadline to sixty days before the trial starts. It applies to both defendants who are in jail and those who are not, requiring the prosecution to provide initial discovery materials by this new date instead of the previous timeline based on arraignment. The change aims to standardize the timing for evidence exchange regardless of whether the defendant is held in custody.

Relates to floor area ratio requirements for buildings on farms

Maddy summaryThis bill prevents towns and villages from enforcing zoning rules that limit the size of farmhouses more strictly than state laws allow. It directly affects active farms by ensuring that local land-use regulations do not impose tighter floor area ratio restrictions than those already set by the state. If a local zoning ordinance violates this rule, the law declares that specific restriction unenforceable and effectively repeals it. The changes will take effect on April 1st of the year following the bill's passage.
