Enacts the "Shepherd Patterson notification act"; requires a physician who treats a minor patient with a medical condition that may cause a disability to provide certain educational information to such patient's parents or guardians indicating such minor is entitled to a free and appropriate public education as defined under section five hundred four of the federal rehabilitation act of nineteen hundred seventy-three; makes related provisions.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires all public water systems serving at least 15 year-round residents to replace every lead service line (the pipe connecting a water main to a building) by November 1, 2037. It directly affects homeowners, renters, and property owners in communities with lead pipes, as water systems must cover all replacement costs at no direct charge to customers - though water rate increases may fund the program. Water systems must offer free replacement, provide access to properties for work, and allow property owners 45 days to opt out by handling their portion themselves (with inspection). The law also defines "lead status unknown" lines and prohibits partial replacements that leave lead pipe in place.
Relates to the requirements for licensure of funeral directors; specifies requirements for a residency period under the direct supervision of a preceptor; sets requirements to act as a preceptor.
Relates to employee access to lactation rooms in the workplace; requires that employers post written policies regarding the rights of nursing employees.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires commercial landlords to make reasonable efforts to re-rent vacated premises when a tenant breaks their lease, rather than simply claiming full unpaid rent. It directly affects commercial landlords and tenants by mandating that landlords actively seek new tenants at fair market value or the original lease rate (whichever is lower), reducing the damages they can claim from the departing tenant. Key provisions state that a new lease signed under these conditions automatically ends the previous tenant's liability, and any lease clause attempting to exempt landlords from this duty is void. The law applies exclusively to commercial leases, excluding residential properties and real estate purchase contracts.
Requires certain utility corporations and the Long Island power authority to establish a meter usage monitor program for the purposes of notifying residential customers when energy usage exceeds a cost or usage threshold in a given billing period determined by the residential customer.
