Maddy summaryThis bill requires all public schools to inspect and test every automated external defibrillator (AED) device at least once a month. School staff members must hold valid certification in AED operation to perform these inspections, following both manufacturer guidelines and government standards. If an AED fails to meet standards during inspection, it must be replaced immediately through the school's emergency health care provider. Schools must also keep written records of all inspections and tests, submitting them annually to the state health commissioner. The law applies directly to all public schools and their designated staff responsible for AED maintenance.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends state insurance law to prevent insurers from selling new long-term care insurance policies that duplicate coverage a person already has. It directly affects insurance companies selling long-term care policies and policyholders who might otherwise purchase redundant coverage. The key provision requires insurers to verify existing coverage before issuing a new policy, ensuring new policies only provide additional benefits not already in force. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.

Enacts the "New York city teleworking expansion act"; provides that each agency shall establish a policy and program to allow employees to perform all or a portion of their duties through teleworking to the maximum extent possible without diminished employee performance; defines the term "telework" to mean to perform normal and regular work functions on a workday that ordinarily would be performed at the agency's principal location at a different location, thereby eliminating or substantially reducing the physical commute to and from such agency's principal location.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a legal right to counsel for eligible immigrants in New York during immigration proceedings. It applies to income-eligible non-citizens or those with significant New York ties (like residents or cases tied to NY courts) facing removal or detention under federal immigration law. The New York State Office for New Americans will administer the program, providing initial consultations and ongoing legal representation starting when a case begins (e.g., upon receiving a "Notice to Appear") and continuing until the case concludes. Legal services must be offered regardless of the proceeding's location, including federal immigration courts outside New York.

Relates to establishing the housing access voucher program; provides that the commissioner of the division of housing and community renewal shall implement a program of rental assistance in the form of housing vouchers for eligible individuals and families who are homeless or who face an imminent loss of housing; provides that the commissioner shall designate housing access voucher local administrators in the state to administer the program.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows eligible voters to register to vote and cast a ballot on the same day at any early voting or election day polling location in New York. It establishes "conditional voter registration" where voters complete an affidavit at the polling place, which becomes effective after election officials verify their eligibility and match their information to state or federal databases (like DMV or Social Security records). If verification fails, voters may still receive a temporary voter ID to cast a ballot. The bill directly affects constitutionally-qualified voters who wish to register and vote simultaneously on election day without prior registration.
