TURNING DREAMS TO REALITIES
ON THE NORTH SHORE

FIRST TERM ACCOMPLISHMENTS
4 pieces of legislation passed with bipartisan support and were signed into NYS law
  1. Marie’s Law. Bill A.4784-C. strengthens protections for minors against felony sex offenders by barring the sexual offender from living in a household with the child.

  2. Extending The Small Business Mentoring Program. This new law will extend the MTA Small Business Mentoring Program (SMBP) – Bill A.8020 – for 10 years until December 31, 2029. 

  3. Trampoline Regulatory Bill. Bill A.7250 seeks to regulate the commercial trampoline park industry and increase the safety standards for families in New York State. 

  4. Amending Labor Laws to Enhance Employee Transparency. Bill A.8035 would amend the Labor Law to define the title “employer” for those employees that perform services for an employer through another entity, namely a placement agency.
