Maddy summaryThis bill extends the deadline for filing disability claims related to World Trade Center conditions until September 11, 2030, affecting individuals who participated in rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill redefines "consumer debt" in New York law to include personal, family, or household financial obligations (like credit cards, medical bills, or standard loans), excluding mortgage-backed debt and rent arrears. It updates court procedures by requiring Spanish/English notices for debt cases, standardizing venue rules (where cases must be filed), and setting a strict 3-year deadline for filing lawsuits. The law directly affects consumers with personal debt and creditors seeking repayment, clarifying legal terms across multiple statutes. Key provisions replace outdated "consumer credit transaction" language with consistent "consumer debt" references throughout civil court rules. The bill does not change debt collection practices but streamlines court processes for these cases.
