Maddy summaryThis bill requires all covered water systems (serving specific residential populations) to replace every lead service line in their systems by November 1, 2037. It mandates that water systems cover all replacement costs at no direct charge to property owners, including planning, construction, and restoration. Property owners must allow access for replacement or opt-out by replacing their portion within 45 days at their own expense. The law applies to all lead pipes connecting water mains to buildings, including those owned by customers, and defines "lead service lines" to include certain galvanized pipes and lead connectors.

Repeals managed long term care provisions for Medicaid recipients; establishes provisions for fully integrated plans for long term care including PACE and MAP plans.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends multiple sections of New York's public authorities law to explicitly include "stormwater" in the legal definition of "sewage" for water, sewer, and water and sewer authorities. It adds a new definition stating "stormwater" means water runoff that exceeds soil absorption capacity during rain or melt events. The change directly affects these public authorities by expanding their regulatory scope to cover stormwater under existing sewage-related rules. The bill does not create new programs or funding but clarifies how stormwater is legally treated in water management frameworks. (164 words)
