Albany Senator Martin Auer presents a channeling concept to end the malpractice crisis by placing hospital responsibility for malpractice actions and insurance costs.

Miller proposes two new shoplifting offenses in Albany
Fayetteville Assemblyman Hy Miller unveiled a plan to add two offenses to New York penal law to curb shoplifting. Petit retail theft in the second degree would be noncriminal, while first degree would be a class B misdemeanor for repeat offenders, with penalties capped at 250 dollars and 15 days in jail. The proposal aims to save court time and costs by avoiding jury trials and would require fingerprinting to check prior convictions.
