Maddy summaryThis bill allows wine retailers licensed in other states to ship wine directly to New York residents for personal use.

Maddy summaryThis bill removes specific eligibility restrictions for Medicaid home care services in New York. It repeals a provision requiring individuals seeking home care to meet strict activity-of-daily-living criteria (like needing assistance with multiple tasks) or dementia-related supervision levels. The change directly affects Medicaid recipients needing home care services, particularly those with dementia or Alzheimer's who previously faced these barriers. The policy shift simplifies eligibility by eliminating these prior requirements for people applying on or after October 1, 2020. The bill modifies New York's social services law to broaden access to home care services under Medicaid.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new health coverage option under New York's 1332 state innovation program, allowing the state to create a health plan for specific uninsured New Yorkers who don't qualify for Medicaid or ACA marketplace plans. It directly affects residents under 65 with household incomes between 133% and 250% of the federal poverty line, including some noncitizens ineligible for Medicaid due to immigration status. Key provisions include requiring coverage for essential health services (like cancer care access at Medicaid rates, dental, vision, and chronic illness support), automatic enrollment for children born to eligible parents, and continued coverage during pregnancy for one year postpartum. The program requires federal approval under the ACA's Section 1332 waiver process and operates alongside existing Medicaid and marketplace plans.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's criminal procedure law to allow bail for defendants charged with "aggravated cruelty to animals" as defined under agriculture law §353-a. It specifically adds this offense to existing lists of crimes where bail eligibility is authorized, alongside other offenses like third-degree weapon possession. The change directly affects individuals facing criminal charges for severe animal cruelty, ensuring they may qualify for bail under the same standards as other eligible offenses. The bill makes no changes to the crime itself or its penalties, only to bail eligibility procedures. It became effective immediately upon enactment.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the City of White Plains Industrial Development Agency (IDA) as an official city entity to advance economic development within White Plains. The agency will have standard IDA powers (like acquiring property and issuing bonds) but must follow local zoning rules, limit activities to city boundaries, and get city council approval for property condemnation. Its board will be appointed by the mayor (with council confirmation), serve at the mayor's discretion, and report to the city government. The bill directly affects White Plains residents and businesses by creating a dedicated body to manage industrial development projects within the city limits.
