BILL NUMBER: S1004 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the social services law, in relation to providing for the regulation, supervision and inspection of "motels" for-profit in cities of one million or more persons which provide temporary or permanent places for homeless persons and receive state financial assistance SUMMARY OF BILL : This act amends subdivision 21 of section 2 of the social services law, as amended by chapter 770 of the laws of 1986. The purpose of this act is to regulate the "motels," which serve to harbor the homeless, in relation to defining them under "adult care facilities" and, thereby, subjecting them to the inspection and supervision of the Commissioner of Social Services. This act will subject the construction and location of these "motels" to land use review procedure, which requires input of the community in which the motel is to be located. JUSTIFICATION : The financial incentives provided by state programs to encourage construction and maintenance of temporary and permanent housing for homeless persons, and financial assistance provided to such persons,

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1004 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E January 22, 2009 ___________ Introduced by Sen. KRUGER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Social Services AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to providing for the regulation, supervision and inspection of "motels" for-profit in cities of one million or more persons which provide temporary or permanent places for homeless persons and receive state financial assistance THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and purposes. The legislature finds that financial incentives provided by state programs designed to encour- age construction and maintenance of temporary and permanent housing for homeless persons, and financial assistance provided to such persons, have had the unintended effect, in certain cities of large population, of stimulating the construction of unregulated motels for-profit, which have arisen willy-nilly, even next to garbage dumps, to take advantage of such incentives. Not only are these motels getting the homeless in at full rates, courtesy of the taxpayers, but they are providing insuffi- cient care and facilities for the population they are intended to shel- ter or serve. The purpose of this act is to regulate such motels by including them within the definition of "adult care facility", thereby subjecting them to the provisions of article 7 of the social services law, allowing the commissioner of the office of temporary and disability assistance to classify them and provide for inspection and supervision of their opera- tion. With respect to the construction and location of these for-profit "motels", the purpose of this act is to subject such places to land use review procedures which, for site selection, require input from the community in which the "motel" is to be located.
