Maddy summaryThis bill amends the New York General Business Law to prohibit any individual or organization from intentionally destroying rare books for commercial purposes. The law defines a "rare book" as one published before 1970 or produced in a print run of fewer than two hundred copies, and specifies that destruction means irreversibly removing pages or otherwise rendering the book unusable by a human reader. Violators face escalating civil penalties ranging from five hundred dollars for a first offense to five thousand dollars plus an injunction for third or subsequent offenses, with additional fines up to the market value of the damaged book. The New York Attorney General is authorized to bring civil actions against violators, including online retailers, and any recovered penalties accrue to the state.
Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's general business law to hold chatbot operators liable if their artificial intelligence systems impersonate licensed professionals, such as teachers or attorneys. The legislation defines a "covered profession" based on specific state education and judiciary laws, prohibiting operators from allowing their bots to act in ways that would be illegal for a human practitioner. Operators are required to provide clear, conspicuous notice that users are interacting with an AI system, and they cannot waive liability simply by disclosing the bot's non-human status. The attorney general is empowered to enforce these rules through civil penalties of up to fifteen thousand dollars per day and must maintain a website for public complaints regarding violations.
