Maddy summaryThis bill allows owners of low-income housing tax credits to transfer those credits to other people or entities multiple times, rather than being limited to a single transfer. The changes apply to taxpayers who own interests in eligible low-income buildings and enable transferees to use the credits against their taxes if they meet all requirements. Each transfer must be properly documented and approved by the relevant agency, and it cannot affect the eligibility of the underlying housing project for program benefits. The law takes effect immediately and applies to all low-income housing tax credits allocated before, during, or after the effective date.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York City's administrative code to define illegal housing conversions as a form of harassment. Specifically, it adds two new provisions: (1) splitting apartments or altering buildings without permits (e.g., moving walls, subdividing rooms), and (2) occupying units that violate multiple dwelling laws. These changes directly affect tenants experiencing unsafe or illegal housing modifications by landlords and provide a clearer legal basis for reporting such violations as harassment. The bill expands existing harassment protections to cover specific housing code violations without altering broader policy outcomes.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's insurance law to require health insurers to cover image-guided breast biopsies as part of mandatory breast cancer screening. It directly affects patients seeking breast cancer detection and insurers who must provide this coverage when recommended by a physician following nationally recognized clinical guidelines. The key change adds "image-guided breast biopsies" to the list of covered screening and diagnostic imaging procedures, alongside mammograms and ultrasounds. Coverage applies only when the procedure is recommended by a physician and aligns with evidence-based clinical guidelines. The requirement takes effect January 1, 2026, for new or renewed insurance policies.
