 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 July 16, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. BICHOTTE HERMELYN -- read once and referred to
 the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection

 AN ACT in relation to prohibiting businesses and organizations from
 charging a fee for seminars, webinars, workshops, or educational
 resources related to the breakdown of Public Law No: 119-21

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that it is in the
 2 best interest of residents of the state to ensure that all individuals
 3 have free and equitable access to information concerning the contents of
 4 Public Law No: 119-21. It is the intent of the legislature to promote
 5 transparency and public understanding of the contents of this federal
 6 act.
 7 Therefore, the legislature deems it to be in the best interest of the
 8 residents of this state to prohibit the imposition of fees or charges by
 9 businesses, organizations and other entities providing access to break-
 10 downs or explanations of the contents of this bill as the imposition of
 11 such fees and charges creates an unfair barrier to access to this crit-
 12 ical information for many state residents.
 13 § 2. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law, rule or regulation to
 14 the contrary, no business, organization or other entity providing or
 15 sponsoring a seminar, webinar, or workshop, or providing access to an
 16 educational resource related to the breakdown or explanation of the
 17 provisions of Public Law No: 119-21, colloquially known as the "One Big
 18 Beautiful Bill" or "OBBB", shall impose a fee or charge to residents of
 19 the state who participate in such seminar, webinar, or workshop, or who
 20 utilize such educational resource. Any business, organization or other
 21 entity charging a fee in violation of this act shall refund the fee to
 22 the person or entity that paid the fee within 30 days of the effective
 23 date of this act.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 2. The provisions of this act shall not apply to any usual and custom-
 2 ary fees or charges related to legal research subscriptions that provide
 3 access to content other than Public Law No: 119-21, including but not
 4 limited to access provided by Lexus, Westlaw, Judicata or Bloomberg Law.
 5 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
