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.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new progressive income tax structure for high-income New York taxpayers by creating multiple tax brackets with increasing rates as income rises.

Key provisions include setting specific tax rates for different income ranges - for example, 10.90% for incomes over $25 million and 24% for incomes over $20 million for certain filers. The bill modifies existing tax law to implement these bracketed rates, replacing previous structures.
