Rep. Anil Beephan

Maddy summaryThis bill dedicates a specific section of State Route 376 in East Fishkill to honor local veterans. The legislation requires the Department of Transportation to install signs identifying the route as "Highway Dedicated to East Fishkill Veterans." While the dedication is ceremonial, the official name of the highway will remain unchanged to prevent confusion and avoid disrupting commerce. The changes apply only to the portion of the road between State Route 82 and State Route 52 within Dutchess County.

Enacts the "just energy transition act"; requires a study of competitive options to facilitate the phase-out, replacement and redevelopment of New York state's oldest and most-polluting fossil fueled generation facilities and their sites by the year 2030.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 10080) expands residency options for correction officers working at local correction facilities or sheriff's departments in New York. It allows officers to live in: (1) their facility’s county, (2) a contiguous New York county, (3) a county in a neighboring state, or (4) a county in a neighboring state within 45 miles (measured by nearest boundaries). This change removes current restrictions requiring officers to reside within the specific political subdivision where they work. The bill directly affects correction officers employed by local facilities, enabling them to live more flexibly near their workplace.

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow Nassau County to optionally provide disability coverage for its probation officers. If enacted, it would require the county to pay full salary and cover all medical costs if a probation officer is injured or becomes ill while performing job duties. The coverage would apply specifically to Nassau County probation officers (not officers in other counties) and prohibits medical providers from billing officers for covered treatments. The bill amends existing municipal law to include county probation officers under the same disability coverage provisions already available to other public safety personnel in Nassau County.

Revises the New York state veteran's memorial and monument registry such that it is easier to navigate; relates to the updating and availability of the registry.
