Maddy summaryThis bill requires New York manufacturers of personal care products (like lotions, shampoos, and cosmetics, but excluding soap) to list all actual chemical ingredients on product labels instead of using vague terms like "fragrance" or "preservative." It directly affects companies selling these products in New York, mandating full transparency by replacing generic terms with specific chemical names. The law takes immediate effect, applying to all personal care products distributed, sold, or offered for sale in the state for any use. This change aims to provide consumers with clear ingredient information previously obscured by broad descriptors.

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals a 2011 law that imposed a spending cap on the state's Medicaid program, specifically removing Sections 91 and 92 of Chapter 59. It directly affects how the state Department of Health manages Medicaid funding by eliminating the annual growth limit on state funds for Medicaid. The key mechanism is the complete removal of these specific legal provisions, allowing Medicaid spending to increase without the previous restriction. This change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
Maddy summaryA 1157 (2025) requires businesses handling New York residents' personal data - such as names, Social Security numbers, or financial details - to notify affected individuals within five days of discovering a security breach, replacing a previous 30-day deadline. This applies to any breach involving "private information" stored in computerized systems. The law maintains existing exceptions for law enforcement investigations but shortens the disclosure window significantly. The bill amends New York's general business law to enforce this faster notification requirement.
