Maddy summaryThis bill (S 1819) ensures that urine test results from judicial diversion programs - where defendants avoid jail by completing treatment instead of facing criminal charges - are kept private and confidential. It directly affects individuals participating in these programs who undergo required drug testing as part of their court-ordered treatment. The law prohibits sharing test results with courts, prosecutors, or other parties without the defendant’s consent, and bans using positive results as evidence in future criminal cases. Treatment programs may still access results to support care, but the defendant’s privacy is protected from legal proceedings. The bill does not change testing requirements but safeguards the confidentiality of sensitive health information.

Maddy summaryS 1018 requires school districts in cities with at least one million residents (like New York City) to include specific worker protections in all contracts for transporting K-12 students.

It applies directly to contractors and subcontractors providing school bus services, ensuring continuity of employment terms for affected workers.
