Rep. Michael Durso

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 10171) amends commemorative signage for a bridge on the Southern State Parkway in Babylon, Suffolk County, to include Detective Thomas M. Inman's middle initial on the dedication plaque. It requires transportation officials to install signs stating "Bridge Dedicated to Detective Thomas M. Inman" but explicitly clarifies this is purely ceremonial. The bill does not change the bridge's official name or legal designation. The change affects signage only and has no impact on transportation records or operations.

Maddy summaryThis bill expands property tax exemptions for veterans living together in the same household. It adds up to a 7.5% exemption (capped at $6,000) for non-combat veterans sharing a home, and up to a 5% exemption (capped at $4,000) for veterans who served in combat zones. Local governments must adopt these provisions through public hearings and local ordinances to implement the additional tax breaks. The changes directly affect qualifying veterans living with other veterans and require local jurisdictions to formally approve the exemptions.

Gives state income tax credit to volunteer firefighters and members of a volunteer ambulance corps in good standing up to $2500; must be in good standing for a minimum of five years and maintain continued eligibility.

Establishes an optional twenty-five year retirement plan for certain public safety dispatchers, public safety telecommunicators, 911 operators, communications officers, police communication technicians, emergency services operators and emergency services dispatchers employed by the state, or a county or municipal emergency services department.

Includes retirement plans in the exemption for pensions and annuities for certain persons; increases such exemption to one hundred thousand dollars as adjusted by the consumer price index annually.

Enacts the "school security guard training enhancement act"; provides that annual training where a security guard is employed or contracted by a school in this state shall require the completion of school specific-training.

Maddy summaryThis bill would allow taxpayers to exclude overtime pay from their federal adjusted gross income for tax purposes. Specifically, it defines "overtime compensation" as wages earned beyond an individual's normal scheduled work hours and subtracts this amount from taxable income. The provision applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026. It directly affects individual taxpayers who earn overtime wages, reducing their taxable income by the amount of qualifying overtime compensation.

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.

Requires synthetic content creations system providers to include provenance data on synthetic content produced or modified by a synthetic content creations system that such provider makes available.

Requires utility companies maintain a toll free number for consumers to call to report service outages which shall be made available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
