Maddy summaryThis bill establishes minimum cash wage requirements for "miscellaneous industry workers" who receive tips, including car wash attendants, nail salon workers, tow truck drivers, dog groomers, tour guides, valet attendants, and similar roles. It sets specific hourly cash wage floors that must be paid in addition to tips, with rates increasing annually through 2029 (e.g., $12.77/hour in NYC starting 2026, $11.50/hour outside NYC starting 2026). The bill ensures that when tips are added to the cash wage, the total equals the full minimum wage for their region, preventing employers from relying solely on tips to meet wage requirements. It directly affects these tipped workers by guaranteeing a minimum cash payment regardless of tip amounts received.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's Law Revision Commission structure by changing its membership appointments and funding. It increases the commission from five to ten additional members appointed by the governor, senate leaders, assembly leaders, and the attorney general, with varying term lengths (three to five years). The commission must include four attorney members and two law faculty members, and it must review judicial decisions to recommend law reforms. A new separate fund ensures commission expenses are covered without mixing with general state funds. The bill directly affects how the commission operates to update state laws, but does not change substantive legal content.
