Rep. Kalman Yeger

Maddy summaryThis bill requires at least one conductor to be present on all New York City subway and train cars operated by the transit authority, with limited exceptions for situations where it is currently allowed. The legislation defines a conductor as any staff member other than the driver or engineer who is primarily responsible for train operations, door management, and safety duties. Proponents argue that conductors serve as first responders during emergencies and enhance security following the September 11 attacks and recent threats to the transit system. The law takes effect immediately upon passage and applies to all passenger-carrying trains within the authority's jurisdiction.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows camp operators and staff to give children over-the-counter or prescription medications during emergencies like asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, or seizures. It directly affects children at overnight, summer day, or traveling summer camps, as well as the camp staff who may administer care. The key provision requires parent or guardian authorization and compliance with health department rules, ensuring staff act under parental direction during medical emergencies. It amends public health and education laws to clarify this authority without creating new requirements for camps.

Requires a utility corporation or municipality to notify property owners at least five business days prior to beginning any non-emergency construction or other work that will result in a planned interruption of a customer's property; requires notice to include, but not be limited to, a description of the work to be performed, the expected duration of such work, the location of such work, and the contact information for the utility performing such work; exempts cases where a natural or man-made disaster or state of emergency occurs.

Prohibits artificial intelligence companions from using features which are considered unsafe for minors; defines terms; specifies what are considered unsafe features.

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.

Requires a pharmacy benefit manager to pay a participating pharmacy at minimum at the national average drug acquisition cost (NADAC) rate, or at the pharmacy acquisition cost rate if greater or there is not a NADAC rate, plus a professional dispensing fee that is at minimum the professional dispensing fee paid under the state medical assistance program.

Requires an operator of a covered platform with at least one million users to ensure that its covered platform provides a process to allow law enforcement agencies to contact such covered platform, which shall provide continuous availability of such process; provides that an operator of a covered platform with at least one million users shall comply with a search warrant within seventy-two hours of receipt under certain circumstances; provides that a court may extend the time for compliance with a search warrant under certain circumstances.

Authorizes the office for the aging to establish, operate and maintain programs for transportation services, or to contract with counties, cities, towns, villages, school districts or public or private nonprofit corporations, associations, institutions, or agencies concerned with the aging, for the operation and maintenance of such programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation to follow the city's standard land use review process before selling, leasing, or transferring any property it owns - including hospitals or other facilities. It amends the corporation's charter to mandate this review for all dispositions, replacing prior exceptions that allowed direct sales without city oversight. The change applies to all property acquired or constructed by the corporation, ensuring city planning procedures govern such transactions.
