Requires vehicle rental agreements instruct renters to remove personal information before returning the vehicle and permits rental vehicles to have decals informing the renter to remove such information

Maddy summaryThis bill requires rental car companies to remove all personal information (such as phone numbers or IDs) left in vehicles when customers return them. It directly affects rental businesses and their customers by mandating that companies actively clear personal data from returned vehicles. The key provision states that rental providers must delete such information upon receiving the vehicle, not just inform renters to do so. Rental companies may also use decals to remind renters to remove their own items before returning the car. The law aims to prevent data breaches from personal items accidentally left behind in rental vehicles.

Requires advertisements of a discounted price of a good or service have such price be actually discounted from a bona fide regular price

Maddy summaryThis bill requires that advertisements claiming a discounted price must actually reflect a reduction from a legitimate regular price. It defines a "discounted price" as a temporary or conditional price reduction and a "bona fide regular price" as the actual price at which a product was openly available for a substantial period. Retailers and advertisers must ensure that any advertised discount, whether shown as a dollar amount or percentage, is calculated based on this established regular price, with exceptions made for clearance, liquidation, or discontinued product sales. The law aims to prevent false advertising by making it illegal to mislead consumers about price reductions in print or broadcast ads.

Relates to including environmental pollution mitigation within the authorized purposes of industrial development agencies

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's general municipal law to explicitly include "environmental pollution mitigation" as a purpose for industrial development agencies. It directs these agencies to use financial incentives for projects that reduce pollution, such as installing cleaner equipment, purchasing low-emission vehicles, or upgrading facilities to control air, water, or noise pollution. The change specifically aims to address disproportionate pollution exposure in minority communities, which face higher health risks from nearby industrial operations. The law defines "environmental pollution mitigation" broadly to cover measures protecting communities from industrial pollution sources. This policy shift allows agencies to fund pollution control as part of their core mission to advance economic and environmental health.
