Maddy summaryThis bill removes specific restrictions on voter registration applications in New York.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires producers of designated products (like electronics, packaging, or textiles) to fund and manage recycling and reuse programs for those items after consumers discard them. It shifts financial responsibility from taxpayers and municipalities to producers, who must create department-approved collection plans covering product take-back, recycling, and reuse. Producers must design more durable, recyclable products and meet specific recycling rate targets set by the environmental department. The law establishes a new program fund to support these efforts and applies to manufacturers, importers, and brands selling products in New York.
Maddy summaryThis bill would impose a new tax on New York State residents with $1 billion or more in net assets (total wealth minus debts), calculated as if they sold all assets at market value on December 31, 2024. Taxpayers would pay the resulting tax over 10 years with an annual interest-like fee, or in full for the 2025 tax year. It includes credits for taxes paid to other states on assets accumulated before New York residency, and excludes certain assets like gifts made within five years. The tax applies only to New York residents meeting the $1 billion threshold, with the first payment due for the 2025 tax year. The bill is currently pending in the Budget and Revenue committee.
