Introduced  by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
  tee on Social Services

AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to  establishing  a
  demonstration  program  implementing the Westchester county dual track
  child protective services system; and providing for the repeal of such
  provisions upon expiration thereof

  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 and
declares  that  the  challenge  facing  this  state's  child  protective
services program demands that a bold new approach be tested to determine
how  this  state can fulfill its obligations to protect and defend chil-
dren, provide for their health, safety and welfare, and also make neces-
sary services and assistance available to families in a less  confronta-
tional   and   intrusive  manner,  when  circumstances  so  warrant.  By
establishing a system in Westchester county, where complaints of alleged
child abuse and maltreatment are assigned to either an investigatory  or
a family assessment and services track, it is the intent of the legisla-
ture  to  study and review alternative methods of fulfilling those obli-
gations and, at the same time, initiate the  delivery  of  comprehensive
family rehabilitative services to children and families.
  S  2.  Short  title.  This  act shall be known and may be cited as the
"Westchester county dual track demonstration project".
  S 3. The social services law is amended by adding a new section  423-b
to read as follows:
  S 423-B. WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM TO ASSESS THE FEASI-
BILITY  OF  ENHANCING  ALTERNATIVE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES THROUGH THE
USE OF A DUAL TRACK APPROACH. 1. (A) THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN  AND  FAMILY
SERVICES  IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO ESTABLISH A DEMONSTRATION
PROGRAM IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY TO ADDRESS THE  FEASIBILITY  OF  ENHANCING

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD03051-01-1
