Maddy summaryThis bill (A10299) adds personal income tax filings as a new method for New York residents to register for organ, eye, and tissue donation through the Donate Life Registry. It requires tax forms subject to mandatory electronic filing to include a clear checkbox asking: "Would you like to be added to the Donate Life Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this question'." This expands existing registration options - like driver's license applications and health insurance forms - to include tax documents. The policy change directly affects all New York residents who file taxes electronically, making donation registration more accessible during routine tax submissions. The bill amends Public Health Law Section 4310 to formalize this process.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a new legal framework for protective orders targeting severe stalking behavior, directly affecting victims (petitioners) and alleged stalkers (respondents). It establishes temporary and final "anti-stalking orders" that prohibit contact, surveillance, and remote control of connected devices (like smart home systems), requiring respondents to stay away from victims' homes, workplaces, or schools. The law defines "stalking" broadly to include offenses like harassment, assault, identity theft, and unauthorized sharing of intimate images, requiring a "course of conduct" (two or more acts within 90 days) to trigger the order. Courts must issue temporary orders the same day if an immediate threat exists, with final orders requiring a hearing to confirm evidence supports the petition.
