Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's General Business Law to define a "protected consumer" as an individual under 18 years old when requesting a security freeze. It directly affects minors seeking to place security freezes on their credit reports, expanding protection from the previous age limit of 16. The key change is raising the age threshold from 16 to 18 years for eligibility to request security freezes under this definition. This adjustment ensures all individuals under 18, not just those under 16, qualify for this specific consumer protection.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates tax credits for businesses relocating to New York City (population over 1 million) from outside New York State. It requires qualifying businesses to maintain a minimum number of employee work hours at eligible locations (10,000+ square feet in NYC) and obtain annual city certifications from the mayor or designated agencies. Businesses must document eligibility, including proof of relocation after July 2025 and meeting specific employment thresholds, with new applications barred after July 1, 2028.

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals New York's election law (Section 17-140) that previously criminalized offering small-value items - like free coffee, pens, or snacks - to encourage people to vote at polling places. It directly affects voters and election organizers by removing criminal penalties for providing these nominal incentives. The key change is eliminating the legal prohibition on such low-cost, non-monetary enticements to boost voter turnout.
