Sen. Nathalia Fernández

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's social services law to require medical assistance (like Medicaid) to cover specific fertility treatments for patients using oral or injectable ovulation drugs. It mandates coverage for necessary monitoring services - including office visits, diagnostic tests (like ultrasounds), and blood work - during infertility treatment. If federal funding isn't available for these services, the state would use its own funds to support a grant program ensuring access. The policy directly affects patients seeking fertility care who rely on state medical assistance programs.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a legal framework for the medical use of psilocybin (a psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms) in New York State. It creates a "psilocybin assisted therapy grant program" to fund treatment for veterans, first responders, retired first responders, and low-income individuals through certified facilitators (mental health professionals who complete state-approved training). The law defines medical psilocybin, sets requirements for treatment settings and facilitator certification, and includes legal protections against penalties for those using it under the program. It also mandates a two-year department report on the program's implementation and establishes a pilot program for naturally grown psilocybin. The bill makes a specific appropriation to fund the grant program.

Maddy summaryThis bill sets mandatory targets for transitioning medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleets to zero-emission models in New York. It requires fleet operators (particularly large "high priority fleets" with $50M+ revenue or 50+ vehicles over 8,500 lbs GVWR) to gradually shift their fleets: 50% zero-emission by 2032, 80% by 2037, and 100% by 2042. Fleet operators must also submit detailed annual reports on their vehicle types, usage, and zero-emission progress to the state environmental department. The law directly affects commercial trucking, delivery, and logistics companies operating these vehicles in New York.
