Sen. Jamaal Bailey

Maddy summaryThis bill is a Senate resolution that formally recognizes New York veterans who have been inducted into the 2023 Veterans Hall of Fame. It directly affects the specific individuals listed in the text, who are honored for their military service in various branches of the armed forces. The key mechanism is a ceremonial pause in legislative proceedings to salute these veterans, followed by the official transmission of the resolution to each inductee. This measure serves as a symbolic gesture of appreciation rather than establishing new laws or funding.

Creates a temporary state commission to study and make recommendations concerning the incidence of asthma in the borough of the Bronx in New York city.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance policies to cover specific asthma treatments, including prescription devices like spacers and masks, as well as self-management education for patients and their families. It mandates that these benefits apply to individuals with asthma and children under nineteen, with additional school supplies covered for younger patients when prescribed. The legislation allows for coverage of services provided by physicians, nurse practitioners, and certified asthma educators, including group sessions and home visits when medically necessary. Insurance plans may apply standard annual deductibles and coinsurance to these new benefits, and the changes will take effect on January 1st following the bill's enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill, known as the Veteran Family Educational Attainment Act, allows New York State veterans who have unused tuition award benefits to transfer those funds to a spouse, child, or survivor. To qualify for the transfer, the veteran must have served at least ten years, unless their service was cut short due to death, medical issues, hardship, or other specific non-willful reasons. The recipient must be an eligible immediate family member living in the state, with children specifically required to be under twenty-six years old. The legislation also establishes clear definitions for who counts as a "qualified veteran" and "survivor," including spouses married within fifteen years of discharge or those with children born to the veteran.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a tax credit for contractors in New York who hire minority, women-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses as subcontractors on state projects. To qualify, the contractor must pay the certified subcontractor for work related to a state contract, and they can claim a credit equal to 35% of those payments against their state taxes. The law includes a rule preventing contractors from firing existing subcontractors just to hire a qualified one solely for the financial benefit. This change is designed to encourage the use of diverse businesses in state procurement without specifying any particular political outcome.

Amends procedures required for the custodial interrogation of children to provide additional protections and for taking juveniles and sixteen and seventeen year olds into custody.
