Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans in the state to cover up to two epinephrine auto-injectors annually for treating life-threatening allergic reactions. It directly affects individuals with health insurance who need these emergency devices, ensuring they are not burdened with high costs. The law mandates that the total out-of-pocket expense for these devices be capped at $100 per year, regardless of deductibles or copayments. Insurance companies must include this coverage in major medical and comprehensive policies, with specific rules for high-deductible plans to maintain eligibility for health savings accounts. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, applying to all policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
Maddy summaryThis bill modifies the New York State Urban Development Corporation Act to increase the time required between publishing a notice for a project and holding the associated public hearing.

These changes directly affect the Urban Development Corporation, municipalities, and community boards involved in real estate transactions and development planning within the state.
