Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits employers from discriminating against job applicants or employees who had criminal charges dismissed after an "adjournment in contemplation of dismissal" (a legal process where charges are put on hold pending successful completion of conditions, like probation). It clarifies that such dismissed cases do not count as a conviction or admission of guilt, preventing employers from using them as a basis for denial of employment or licenses. The law amends existing criminal procedure statutes to explicitly state that these dismissed cases should not result in employment penalties or affect an individual's status. It directly affects people with these specific dismissed charges when seeking or maintaining employment.

Maddy summaryThis bill restructures New York's fraud laws by creating five degrees of "scheme to defraud," each with escalating penalties based on the scale of harm (number of victims or property value). For example, defrauding 1,000+ people or $1 million triggers a class B felony (first degree), while defrauding 10+ people or $1,000+ is a class E felony (fourth degree). It also establishes a new crime targeting harassment of legal services clients, directly protecting vulnerable individuals who rely on legal aid. The law affects legal professionals and others engaging in fraudulent schemes, strengthening accountability for misconduct that undermines trust in legal services.
