Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits corporations from making certain types of financial contributions to candidates and political committees, with the exception of those made in the regular course of a lender's business. It specifically bans loans, loan guarantees, and other securities from corporations unless they are political committees themselves or the funds are used for non-candidate expenditures. Additionally, the bill requires that any loans made to candidates or committees by individuals or groups must be repaid by the date of the primary, special, or general election, or they will be treated as direct contributions. Public utilities are also restricted from using revenues earned from providing public services within the state for political contributions unless those costs are charged to shareholders.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes Medicaid rules by removing a penalty period for people applying for home care services who transferred assets for less than their fair market value. Currently, individuals who give away assets within a specific time before applying can be denied coverage for a set number of months, but this legislation eliminates that waiting period for non-institutionalized applicants seeking community-based long-term care. The law still keeps the asset transfer penalty in place for people applying for nursing home services. By repealing the specific section that enforced this penalty for home care, the bill allows more people to access home care without facing a delay in eligibility due to past financial planning.

Additionally, the legislation outlines a process for enforcing unpaid penalties by allowing authorities to obtain a default court judgment if fines remain unpaid after a notice period. These changes directly affect businesses holding liquor permits and the state agency responsible for regulating them.
