Maddy summaryThis bill extends the transition period for property tax assessments on co-op and condo properties from a shorter timeframe to twelve years when an assessment increase occurs. It phases in higher assessments gradually: each year, a specific percentage (starting at 8.33% in year one and increasing to 100% in year twelve) is added to the previous year’s assessment. This prevents sudden tax spikes for owners of these properties during the transition. If the phased assessment exceeds the actual current assessment in any year, taxes are calculated based on the lower actual amount instead. The change applies to assessments for properties with increased values after the law takes effect.

Maddy summaryThis bill would expand New York's definition of "aggravated harassment in the second degree" to include sending unwanted intimate photos or videos with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, or alarm someone, and without a legitimate communication purpose. It directly affects individuals who transmit such images without consent for malicious reasons. The key provision requires both the harmful intent and the absence of a valid reason for the communication. If enacted, this would make such transmissions a specific criminal offense under the state's harassment laws.
Maddy summaryS 5777 requires drivers with suspended or revoked licenses (for traffic offenses) to surrender all vehicle registration plates and have their vehicle registrations suspended. This applies to all vehicles registered in their name, preventing new registrations during the license suspension period. Drivers must surrender plates within 14 days of receiving written notice, with failure punishable by fines ($150-$500) or jail time. A hardship exception allows joint vehicle use by family members (including domestic partners) if surrendering plates would cause extreme hardship, requiring proof like shared insurance.
