Deems an application filed with the New York state and local police and fire retirement system by the widow of Paul C. Adam as timely filed

Maddy summaryThis bill declares a retirement application submitted by Cynthia Adam on behalf of her late husband, Paul C. Adam, as timely filed despite it being submitted years after the deadline. The legislation specifically addresses the conversion of his service retirement benefits to accidental death benefits related to the 2001 World Trade Center disaster. By retroactively accepting the September 2018 filing, the law ensures that the family can receive the appropriate benefits without penalty. All costs associated with implementing this change are to be covered by the state of New York.

Authorizes the direct intrastate and interstate shipment of alcoholic beverages

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes the direct shipment of liquor, cider, mead, and braggot across state lines into New York, expanding on existing rules that already allow wine shipments. To participate, out-of-state distilleries must obtain a specific license from the state authority, pay an annual fee, and agree to ship no more than 36 cases per year to residents aged 21 or older for personal use only. The law requires strict compliance measures, including age verification at delivery, mandatory signatures, clear labeling on packages, and the payment of applicable state and local taxes. Additionally, out-of-state shippers must maintain detailed records for three years and consent to state jurisdiction for enforcement purposes.
