Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's real property tax law to require interest on overdue installment payments to begin accruing immediately on the original due date, rather than from a later date. It directly affects property owners who pay taxes in installments, ensuring interest starts calculating as soon as a payment is missed. The key change clarifies that interest rates apply from the missed payment's due date, as specified in the law. This is a procedural adjustment to tax collection timing, not a new tax or fee.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires public school districts in Rockland and Westchester counties to provide kindergarten instruction to children who turn five years old on or before December 1st.

The law would take effect on July 1st following its enactment.
Maddy summaryThis bill extends the maximum lease term for zero-emission school buses from five to twelve years, requiring voter approval for leases longer than one school year. It directly affects school districts and boards operating school bus fleets by allowing longer-term financing for these vehicles, which typically have higher upfront costs. The bill also adjusts how lease costs are calculated for state aid purposes, setting an eight-year assumed amortization period specifically for zero-emission buses (instead of the standard five years). These changes aim to support school districts transitioning to cleaner transportation while maintaining financial oversight through voter approval for extended leases.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a price for carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generated using fossil fuels (like coal or natural gas) and creates a fund to collect revenues from this price. It directly affects electricity generators using carbon-based fuels, requiring them to pay a fee based on the social cost of carbon. The fund's revenues will be distributed as tax credits to low- and moderate-income residents (those earning below 115% of area median income) and used to support renewable energy transitions in disadvantaged communities. The bill aims to advance New York’s climate goals by incorporating carbon pricing into electricity markets while directing funds toward climate equity.
