Maddy summaryThis bill creates a state-funded program to improve healthcare quality in home care settings. It provides grants or supplemental payments to certified home health agencies, long-term home care programs, and managed care plans that partner with home care providers. The program supports specific quality improvements like falls prevention, care coordination with hospitals, technology integration for better patient monitoring, staff training, and evidence-based practices. These initiatives aim to enhance patient outcomes, reduce health disparities, and align home care with broader healthcare systems. The program requires the health commissioner to establish application and scoring processes with input from home care providers and managed care plans.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends the state tax law to exclude unemployment compensation from taxable income for state income tax purposes. It directly affects taxpayers who receive unemployment benefits by ensuring those payments are not counted when calculating their state income tax liability. The key provision adds a new tax law section effective January 1, 2025, specifically excluding unemployment compensation from taxable income calculations. The change applies to all taxpayers receiving unemployment benefits during taxable years starting in 2025. This is a straightforward policy adjustment to the tax code, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
