The bill establishes two specific triggers: selling 20+ firearms to others in a year, or possessing 20+ firearms with intent to sell. This law increases penalties for large-scale firearms trafficking by classifying it as the highest felony level under the penal law.

Relates to creating a feebate program for medium and heavy duty vehicles

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a revenue-neutral feebate program for medium and heavy-duty vehicles (over 10,000 pounds gross weight) registered in New York. Owners of vehicles rated below 10 MPG or MPGe pay tiered efficiency fees (up to $45,000), while owners of vehicles rated 10 MPG or higher receive efficiency rebates (up to $150,000). The program adjusts fees and rebates annually based on market data, fuel economy trends, and zero-emission vehicle availability to maintain revenue neutrality. It requires dealers to display fee/rebate information and mandates public awareness campaigns about the program.

Relates to effectiveness of judgments entered by the New York City environmental control board; repealer

Maddy summaryThis bill repeals the eight-year expiration period for judgments issued by the New York City Environmental Control Board. It directly affects the enforceability of these judgments, allowing them to remain valid indefinitely without needing renewal. The key mechanism is removing Subparagraph (i) of paragraph 1 of subdivision d of Section 1049-a in the NYC Charter. This is a procedural change that modifies existing law without creating new regulations or affecting other entities.
