Maddy summaryThis bill requires employers who hire domestic workers (such as housekeepers, nannies, or caregivers) to provide each employee with 40 hours of paid sick leave annually. It directly affects domestic workers and their employers, regardless of business size, by mandating paid leave for illness or health needs. The law specifies that domestic workers must receive this leave, while other employers follow separate rules based on their employee count (e.g., smaller businesses may offer unpaid leave under certain conditions). The policy takes effect immediately upon enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals Section 2307 of New York's Public Health Law, which previously addressed individuals knowingly infected with venereal disease. The repeal removes legal provisions that could have led to prosecution of people with certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) who were aware of their status. The law takes immediate effect, preventing any future prosecutions or legal actions under the repealed section. This change directly affects individuals previously covered by this specific public health law provision, though it does not alter other STI-related laws or public health practices.
Establishes an electronic military ballot application and military ballot transmittal system through which applicants may apply for a military ballot and return a marked military ballot, online.
