Maddy summaryS 1632 exempts livestock guardian dogs (used to protect livestock from predators) and herding dogs (trained to manage livestock) from municipal dog licensing fees. The bill amends state law to require municipalities to waive these fees for qualifying dogs and mark their licenses with "Livestock Guardian Dog" or "Herding Dog." It directly affects livestock owners and ranchers who use these working dogs. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.

Creates a state trooper highway memorial task force to develop and establish guidelines for recognition of members of the division of state police who have died in the line of duty; provides such recognition shall be by means of dedicating a portion of the state highway system, or the placement of a memorial plaque or marker along a state highway.

Maddy summaryThis bill makes permanent key provisions allowing nurse practitioners to diagnose illnesses and provide treatment within their specialty areas, working collaboratively with licensed physicians or other nurse practitioners. It requires written practice agreements and protocols for this collaboration, including specific rules for resolving disagreements about diagnosis or treatment. The law directly affects nurse practitioners and physicians who collaborate with them, ensuring consistent practice standards without temporary expiration. This updates prior temporary rules (set to expire in 2026) by making them permanent under New York's education law.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows school districts to create policies enabling homeschooled students to try out for and join their district's interscholastic sports teams. It requires these students to meet the same academic, health, and behavioral standards as enrolled public school students - including annual academic checks, health exams, and age requirements - and limits participation to their district of residence. Parents must provide transportation, and districts may set additional academic eligibility rules. The policy is optional for school boards, not mandatory.

Maddy summaryThis bill (S 3422) requires the New York governor's salary to be withheld until the state budget is fully approved by the legislature. It directly affects the governor, delaying their net salary payment (after standard deductions like taxes) if the budget isn't passed before the fiscal year begins. The governor would receive the withheld amount immediately after the legislature completes budget passage, as defined by the bill. The rule takes effect January 1, 2026.
