Maddy summaryThis bill (A10299) adds personal income tax filings as a new method for New York residents to register for organ, eye, and tissue donation through the Donate Life Registry. It requires tax forms subject to mandatory electronic filing to include a clear checkbox asking: "Would you like to be added to the Donate Life Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this question'." This expands existing registration options - like driver's license applications and health insurance forms - to include tax documents. The policy change directly affects all New York residents who file taxes electronically, making donation registration more accessible during routine tax submissions. The bill amends Public Health Law Section 4310 to formalize this process.
Maddy summaryThis bill expands the legal definition of "eating disorder" in New York State law to explicitly include avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), alongside existing conditions like anorexia and bulimia. It updates two key laws: Section 30.02 of the Mental Hygiene Law (which defines eating disorders) and Section 207 of the Public Health Law (which governs awareness programs). By adding ARFID to the definition, the bill ensures individuals with this condition qualify for mental health services and support programs currently available for other recognized eating disorders. The change directly affects people diagnosed with ARFID who seek mental health care, aligning state policy with current medical diagnostic standards. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
