S 2444: Relates to the right to breast feed

S 2444 amends New York's civil rights law to make breastfeeding protections gender-neutral. It replaces terms like "mother" and "her" with "person" and "their," ensuring the law applies to all individuals who breastfeed, regardless of gender identity. The bill guarantees that anyone breastfeeding their baby can do so in any public or private location where they are otherwise authorized to be, without requiring nipple coverage. This change directly affects all breastfeeding people and eliminates gender-specific language in existing law. The bill passed the Senate on May 28, 2025, and is now under consideration by the Assembly.

A 8525: Relates to the use of foreign fire insurance premium taxes by the Ridge volunteer exempt firefighter's benevolent association

This bill amends a 2001 law to clarify how the Ridge Volunteer Exempt Firefighter's Benevolent Association collects and uses specific taxes. It requires the association to collect foreign fire insurance premium taxes (on property in its fire district) under Insurance Law §9104 and §9105, and mandates these funds be used solely for the care and relief of disabled or indigent volunteer firefighters and their families. The association gains authority to collect these taxes as a fire department treasurer would, with funds restricted to the association's charitable purposes. The changes apply to taxes due on or after January 1, 2026.

S 4448: Authorizes the county of Clinton to employ retired former members of the division of state police as special patrol officers

This bill (S 4448) changes New York State civil service law to allow Clinton County to hire retired state police officers as special patrol officers without requiring them to pass standard civil service exams or meet other usual hiring rules. It directly affects Clinton County (which could use this provision) and retired members of the state police division (who could now be hired under these simplified terms). The key provision removes typical civil service requirements for these specific hires, streamlining the process for the county. The bill does not create new programs or funding but modifies existing employment rules. It is a procedural change focused solely on hiring flexibility for Clinton County's special patrol positions.

S 1157: Establishes the New York state first home savings program to authorize first time home buyers to establish savings accounts to buy their first home

New York's S 1157 establishes a state-run savings program to help first-time homebuyers save for purchasing their first primary residence in New York. The program creates tax-advantaged savings accounts managed by the state comptroller, allowing eligible residents to contribute funds that qualify for state income tax benefits under Section 612 of the tax law. To qualify, applicants must have no prior ownership of any home (including mobile homes claimed as personal property on tax returns) and must use funds exclusively for buying or building a home in New York to be used as their primary residence for at least two years. The bill outlines specific account rules, defines "first-time homebuyer," and specifies allowable expenses like purchase costs for houses, condos, or cooperative units within the state.
