Subtracts from federal adjusted gross income any overtime compensation earned by an individual

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow taxpayers to exclude overtime pay from their federal adjusted gross income for tax purposes. Specifically, it defines "overtime compensation" as wages earned beyond an individual's normal scheduled work hours and subtracts this amount from taxable income. The provision applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. It directly affects individual taxpayers who earn overtime wages, reducing their taxable income by the amount of qualifying overtime compensation.

Enacts the ceasing repeated and extremely egregious predatory (CREEP) behavior act

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new legal framework for protective orders targeting severe stalking behavior, directly affecting victims (petitioners) and alleged stalkers (respondents). It establishes temporary and final "anti-stalking orders" that prohibit contact, surveillance, and remote control of connected devices (like smart home systems), requiring respondents to stay away from victims' homes, workplaces, or schools. The law defines "stalking" broadly to include offenses like harassment, assault, identity theft, and unauthorized sharing of intimate images, requiring a "course of conduct" (two or more acts within 90 days) to trigger the order. Courts must issue temporary orders the same day if an immediate threat exists, with final orders requiring a hearing to confirm evidence supports the petition.

Relates to requiring the office for people with developmental disabilities to issue a residential request list and placement report

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New York's Office for People with Developmental Disabilities to submit updated waitlist and placement reports twice yearly (every six months) to the Senate and Assembly leadership. The reports must include detailed data on individuals awaiting residential placement (broken down by age, medical needs, and placement type), actual placements made, costs, funding sources, and projections for future needs over five years. It specifically mandates information on individuals in inadequate living situations, failed placements, and plans to address gaps in service. The goal is to provide legislators with transparent, data-driven insights into the state's developmental disability service system.
