Maddy summaryThis bill limits how much property tax class percentages can change annually in Haverstraw, Rockland County, for 2025-2026. It restricts any single property tax class from increasing its share of total taxes by more than 1% compared to the previous year, but only if Haverstraw passes a local law approving this cap. If calculations would exceed the 1% limit, the town must adjust class percentages so they still total 100%. The law is now effective after being signed by the governor on August 22, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill extends the expiration dates for specific provisions in New York's 2009 law that removed special powers granted to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SPCC) under family court and social services law. It amends the 2009 law to delay the automatic repeal of sections related to these power removals until August 11, 2027 (for two sections) and December 31, 2017 (for another section, which has already expired). The key mechanism is updating the sunset dates in the original law, ensuring the removal of the SPCC's special powers remains in effect longer. The bill directly affects how the SPCC operates within New York's child welfare system by maintaining the loss of those specific legal authorities.

Maddy summaryThis bill extends an existing property tax rule in Clarkstown, Rockland County, for one additional year. It limits how much the tax rate for specific property classes can change annually - capping increases at 1% compared to the previous year's rate. The rule applies to Clarkstown's tax assessments for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 tax years, continuing a policy already in place since 2017. This affects Clarkstown property owners whose tax classifications are adjusted under this cap. The change is procedural, maintaining current tax assessment limits without altering broader tax policy.

It directly affects state agencies and local governments that use emergency contracts for public works projects or urgent supply purchases during crises. The key change modifies the sunset provision in existing law to maintain current value limits for these contracts beyond the original deadline. The extension ensures agencies can continue using streamlined emergency contracting processes without policy changes.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes Rockland County to allow deputy sheriff John F. Leonard, Jr. (hired August 1, 2020) to join the county's optional 20-year retirement plan, which he missed enrolling in through no fault of his own. The county must file a resolution with the state comptroller within 180 days confirming Leonard wasn't negligent, and he has one year to formally elect participation. The county bears all associated costs, which may be paid over five years. This is a one-time exception for a specific employee, not a change to retirement laws for other workers.
