DINOWITZ, ENGLEBRIGHT, J. RIVERA, EDDINGTON -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. ALFANO -- read once and referred to the Committee on Social Services AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to establishing certain requirements for payment of medical assistance for needy persons to assisted living residences THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the placement of persons who need only aging in place care and services in assisted residences, rather than being placed in nursing homes, results in substantial savings to the medical assistance program. Therefore, appropriate assisted living residences, established pursuant to article 46-B of the public health law, should be made available to all residents of the state who need or desire the benefits afforded by assisted living. The benefits of assisted living are best provided in a non-in- stitutional setting, which is integrated into the community; in a facil- ity which complies with the provisions of the Americans with Disabili- ties Act and all provisions of article 46-B of the public health law and in an atmosphere that encourages resident independence, autonomy, priva- cy and freedom of choice. The legislature hereby declares that no assisted living residence shall receive medical assistance payments or reimbursement unless it complies with the standards specified in this act. S 2. The social services law is amended by adding a new section 367-v to read as follows: S 367-V. PAYMENTS TO ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCES. NO ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENCE, ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FORTY-SIX-B OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, SHALL RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CHAPTER UNLESS IT PROVIDES THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WITH WRITTEN PROOF THAT SUCH RESIDENCE: 1. DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF SOURCE OF PAYMENT, DISABILI- TY, RACE, RELIGION OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION; 2. PROVIDES A WIDE RANGE OF RESIDENT CHOICES WITH REGARD TO:
