Sponsored bills
Maddy summaryThis bill expands the list of crimes that allow a judge to set monetary bail by adding any offense where a defendant is accused of causing physical, psychological, or emotional harm to a child under eighteen. It directly affects criminal defendants charged with such offenses, as they would now be subject to potential cash bail requirements rather than automatic release on their own recognizance. The legislation updates multiple sections of the state's criminal procedure law to ensure this new category is consistently applied during pretrial proceedings.
Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits businesses from displaying advertisements for kratom products within 1,500 feet of schools, or 500 feet in New York City. It applies to any business entity that places, maintains, or causes advertisements to appear on storefronts, exterior windows, or doors used for public entry. The law defines advertisements broadly to include words, pictures, symbols, or any visual content promoting kratom products. Violations could result in civil penalties of up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for subsequent violations. The bill would take effect 90 days after becoming law.
Maddy summaryThis bill provides a specific death benefit option for Angela Garguilo, the wife of deceased Justice Jerry Garguilo. It allows her to elect a lump sum payment equal to the pension reserve that would have been established if her husband had retired on the day he died, or the greater of that amount plus any existing death benefit. The state will cover all costs for implementing this benefit, amortizing them over ten years. The bill directly affects only Angela Garguilo as the named beneficiary of Justice Garguilo.
