Maddy summaryThis New York bill (A 9185) amends criminal law to explicitly include AI-generated communications in the definition of "falsely reporting an incident in the third degree."

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 1336) requires health care providers to report the number of vaccine exemptions they grant for children, and mandates that immunization information systems (including New York State’s and New York City’s registries) record and store this data by provider.

This creates a standardized, provider-level data tracking system without changing exemption eligibility rules.
