Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a licensing system for genetic counselors and creates a State Board for Genetic Counseling. To practice, genetic counselors must obtain a license by meeting requirements including a master's degree in genetic counseling, passing an exam, and having relevant experience. The law defines genetic counseling as providing information about genetic risks and testing but explicitly prohibits counselors from diagnosing conditions, prescribing medication, or performing medical procedures. The State Board, composed of five licensed genetic counselors, one physician, and one public representative, will oversee licensing, professional conduct, and set standards for the profession.
Expands the health department's review of correctional health services by including a biennial study of health care staffing at facilities operated by the department of corrections and community supervision.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes the "abortion access fund" to support individuals seeking abortion services. It allows New York taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to the fund via their state income tax returns starting in 2027 (without reducing their tax liability), with the tax form including a dedicated line for this purpose. Funds will be used to cover financial and logistical barriers for abortion access, supporting nonprofits providing services like medical care and transportation. The bill includes strong privacy protections, prohibiting the state from requiring nonprofits to share personally identifying information about patients or staff. The comptroller must annually report on fund usage, including disbursement details and financial plans.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new funding formula to help high-need school districts in specific counties address capacity shortages (like overcrowded classrooms). It directly affects districts with populations between 940,000-1 million residents (per 2010 census) that have voter-approved building projects since July 2021. The key mechanism replaces standard funding calculations with a special "high-need secondary supplemental building aid ratio," which boosts aid based on existing rates but caps it at a calculated maximum. This ensures districts with at least 10% capacity shortages receive enhanced funding for construction or repairs.
