BILL NUMBER: S1533 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public housing law, in relation to requiring any program or activity relating to housing which receives federal financial assistance to comply with the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 PURPOSE : To ensure that housing protections offered to people with disabilities under Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act are also offered, and therefore enforceable, on the state level as well. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section one amends the public housing law by adding a new section 223-c to require any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance to adhere to requirements set forth in Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act and its implementing regulations as it pertains to housing. Section two defines the enactment date. JUSTIFICATION : New York's disability advocates have identified a lack of enforcement of Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act in New York State.
