Maddy summaryThis bill defines a "noncompliant state agency" as one failing to meet contract deadlines with nonprofits for six of the last twelve months. It requires such agencies to submit monthly public reports detailing delayed contracts, reasons for delays, and timelines for resolution, plus detailed bi-annual reports on systemic fixes like revised procedures and staff retraining. Agencies must also provide "written directives" to nonprofits, allowing service continuation during negotiations with clear payment terms and interest for late payments. These reports must be posted online to increase transparency for nonprofits and the public.

Relates to coverage for applied behavior analysis and for developmental, individual-differences, relationship-based treatment of autism spectrum disorder.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows local water and sewer authorities to charge fees based on property size and impervious area (like paved surfaces that prevent rain absorption) to fund stormwater management. Authorities can offer fee discounts for income-eligible properties or credits for installing eco-friendly solutions like permeable pavement that reduce runoff. All collected fees must directly support stormwater management programs within the district, including green infrastructure projects. Agricultural properties may be exempt from these fees, and revenue cannot duplicate existing stormwater funding.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a centralized system to track and map drug overdose incidents across New York State in near real-time. It requires local agencies (including coroners, emergency medical services, law enforcement, and health departments) to report confirmed or suspected overdoses to a shared data platform called ODMAP. The system generates location maps to help agencies quickly identify overdose "spikes" and target resources like treatment access, public education, and law enforcement interventions. This aims to improve coordinated responses to the overdose crisis without changing existing laws or funding.

Establishes a cause of action for fertility fraud; allows patients who have undergone assisted reproduction procedures to bring a cause of action if human reproductive material other than that which was consented to by the patient is used in such procedure; allows for compensatory and punitive damages.

Maddy summaryBill A 771 mandates that individual and group health insurance policies in the state must cover early egg and peanut allergen introduction dietary supplements for infants. These supplements, defined as infant-safe proteins prescribed by a healthcare practitioner, are intended to reduce the risk of food allergies in children under one year old. A key provision requires this coverage to be provided at no cost to the covered individual, including deductible payments and cost-sharing amounts. The bill outlines specific exceptions for certain limited benefit health plans, and adjustments for catastrophic and high-deductible health plans regarding cost-sharing limitations.

Requires all public school districts, charter schools and non-public schools in the state that participate in the national school lunch program or school breakfast program as provided in the national child nutrition act to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to the student.
