Maddy summaryThis bill, titled the Didarul Islam police recruitment act, allows certain New York City public safety workers to count their prior service toward their New York City police pension fund. It specifically includes time spent as school safety agents, corrections officers, traffic enforcement agents, or police cadets before joining the uniformed police force. To qualify, members must transfer their contributions from the city employees' retirement system to the police pension fund and pay any required interest. The change applies immediately and affects those eligible for police pension benefits who previously worked in related city safety roles.

Expands the eligibility period for indigent legal service attorneys to receive certain loan forgiveness; increases loan reimbursement for certain attorneys who work in legal services with indigent clients.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates an independent office of chief medical examiner within the Department of Corrections, staffed by medically qualified professionals (doctors with forensic pathology certification and death investigation experience). It requires the office to conduct independent autopsies and investigations for all deaths in correctional facilities, collect detailed data on each death, and publish public annual reports including cause, manner, and demographic details of incarcerated individuals who died. The office must also issue preliminary death reports within 90 days of an incident and share all reports with district attorneys, the attorney general, and the legislature. This directly affects all individuals incarcerated in state correctional facilities by establishing standardized, transparent oversight of death investigations.

Prohibits governmental entities from entering into agreements to house individuals in immigration detention facilities; requires governmental entities to terminate existing contracts for the detention of individuals in immigration detention facilities.

Establishes the Marshall plan for moms interagency task force to examine, issue proposals and make recommendations on multiple policy areas to address the disproportionate burden mothers have weathered from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows unaccompanied children in federal custody (such as those under U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' refugee resettlement programs) to directly petition New York family courts for dependency status. It creates a new court process where children or their advocates can file petitions seeking court orders to ensure proper care, without requiring the child to be physically present in New York. The courts must determine dependency based on evidence like sworn statements, and if approved, can issue orders to protect the child's safety while recognizing their federal custody. The bill does not change federal custody arrangements but ensures children in these situations have access to New York's family court system for care decisions.

Enacts the "PFAS discharge disclosure act"; requires certain SPDES permit holders to conduct PFAS monitoring and disclose the results from such monitoring.

Requires that notice be given to the borough president or presidents, the council member or members, the senator or senators, the member or members of assembly and the district managers of the affected community board or boards when there is a change in service furnished upon the rapid transit facilities or the omnibus line facilities of the New York city transit authority.

Maddy summaryThis bill designates New York City taxi and limousine inspectors as peace officers, granting them authority to enforce certain laws during their work. It specifically allows them to exercise peace officer powers (like making arrests for violations) regardless of whether they're performing routine inspections. However, it explicitly states inspectors cannot carry firearms without a valid license under penal law. The change directly affects NYC transportation safety enforcement staff who inspect taxi and limousine operations.

Establishes the youth justice innovation fund to make funds available to community-based organizations for services and programs with the purpose of youth development and preventing youth arrest and incarceration.
