Maddy summaryThe "Total Access to Menstrual Products (TAMP) Act" requires all female-designated and gender-neutral bathrooms in New York to provide free menstrual products - including sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners - to users. It directly affects workplaces (factories, mines, offices), public facilities (county/city buildings, state universities), hospitals, hotels, and transportation (railroad cars), mandating these products be available at no cost. Key provisions amend labor, public health, and municipal laws to standardize this requirement across all covered facilities. The law focuses on ensuring accessibility without cost, avoiding policy speculation or advocacy.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires most employers to provide paid leave to employees based on business size: small employers (4+ employees) must offer 40 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave annually if they earned over $1 million last year; mid-sized employers (5-99 employees) must provide 40 hours each; and large employers (100+) must provide 56 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave annually. It also mandates 20 hours of paid prenatal leave per 52-week period starting in 2025, with employees accruing leave at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked. The law covers leave for illness, family care, medical appointments, and safety-related reasons (including domestic violence or stalking), with "family member" defined broadly to include spouses, children, and parents. All employers must pay at the employee’s regular rate or minimum wage, whichever is higher, for covered leave.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows local water and sewer authorities to charge fees based on property size and impervious area (like paved surfaces that prevent rain absorption) to fund stormwater management. Authorities can offer fee discounts for income-eligible properties or credits for installing eco-friendly solutions like permeable pavement that reduce runoff. All collected fees must directly support stormwater management programs within the district, including green infrastructure projects. Agricultural properties may be exempt from these fees, and revenue cannot duplicate existing stormwater funding.
