Maddy summaryThis bill changes the standard of proof required in correctional disciplinary hearings from "substantial evidence" to "preponderance of the evidence." It directly affects disciplinary decisions involving prison staff or inmates under New York's correction law, such as those related to misconduct or sanctions. The key provision lowers the evidentiary threshold, meaning decisions only need to be supported by evidence showing it is more likely than not (over 50%) true, rather than meeting the higher "substantial evidence" standard previously required. The change applies to all disciplinary hearings held under the correction law, as specified in the bill's amendments to relevant legal sections.
Enacts "Penny's law" to create the offenses of negligent handling of a dog and reckless handling of a dog; codifies the requirement that dogs be restrained in New York city; requires signage in parks that all dogs must be restrained.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires drivers to pass bicycles and pedestrians safely on roads outside New York City. In towns and cities with under one million residents, drivers must move to another lane if possible when overtaking a cyclist or pedestrian, or maintain at least a three-foot distance if lane changes aren't feasible. If neither option is safe, drivers must only proceed if it's reasonable under current road conditions. The law applies specifically to vehicles overtaking cyclists or pedestrians on the same side of the road in non-NYC areas.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires hospitals and birth centers to include specific statistics in patient information materials about maternity care. It mandates the provision of annual data on maternal complications (like hemorrhages and injuries during birth), fetal losses, stillbirths, cesarean section rates, and outcomes broken down by patient age and race. The information must cover topics such as deaths from childbirth complications, success rates for vaginal births after C-sections, and availability of services like bereavement support. This directly affects maternity patients by providing transparent, data-driven insights into care quality at their facility. The law aims to improve patient awareness of facility-specific outcomes without advocating for specific policies.
Prohibits the use of lead ammunition in the taking of wildlife on wildlife management areas, state forests, forest preserves, state parks or any other state-owned land that is open for hunting and on land contributing surface water to the New York city water supply.
Requires that any limited liability company who files a rent registration statement shall include a list of all members of such limited liability company and each member's ownership interest.
Maddy summaryThis bill removes the previous limit of 10 visits or 30 days for physical therapists to treat patients without a physician referral. It directly affects licensed physical therapists and their patients, allowing ongoing treatment without a referral as long as three requirements are met: therapists must refer patients if symptoms suggest other care is needed, communicate with the patient’s primary care provider during treatment, and provide written notice to patients about potential insurance coverage issues without a referral. The bill requires therapists to document patient notification with a signed form. These changes aim to streamline access to physical therapy while ensuring patient safety and insurance clarity.
