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 updates how New York State calculates payment rates for federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which provide primary care in underserved communities. It changes the rate calculation method: through 2025, rates use the Medicare Economic Index, and after 2025, they use a federal cost adjustment formula (FQHC Market Basket inflator) adjusted for service scope. The state health department must analyze actual FQHC costs every three years starting in 2025 to set updated rates, ensuring payments reflect real costs while guaranteeing no facility receives a rate lower than the 2025 level. This directly affects FQHCs by potentially increasing their state-funded payments based on verified operational expenses.
Establishes the "clean fuel standard of 2026"; provides such standard is intended to reduce greenhouse gas intensity from the on-road transportation sector, with further reductions to be implemented based upon advances in technology.
