AN  ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to notice require-

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Section  34-a  of  the  social services law is amended by
adding a new subdivision 9 to read as follows:
  9. (A) IN ORDER TO ALLOW FAMILIES TIME  TO  PROPERLY  PLAN  FOR  THEIR
FINANCIAL  NEEDS AND FOR THE SAFETY, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF THEIR
CHILDREN, IN THE EVENT THAT A SOCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT PROPOSES TO AMEND
ITS CONSOLIDATED SERVICES PLAN, SUBMITS AN ANNUAL PLAN UPDATE, OR  TAKES
ANY  OTHER  ACTION  THAT WOULD LOWER THE FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY LEVEL FOR
CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE SO THAT FAMILIES RECEIVING  SUBSIDIES  WOULD  LOSE
ELIGIBILITY  THEREFORE,  THE LOCAL SOCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT SHALL NOTIFY
THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES OF THAT FACT AT LEAST  NINETY
DAYS  BEFORE  THE  EFFECTIVE  DATE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE IN ELIGIBILITY
LEVEL. THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL POST  NOTICE  OF
THE PROPOSED CHANGE ON THE OFFICE'S WEBSITE WITHIN TEN DAYS OF RECEIVING
SAID NOTICE, AND WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIVING SAID NOTICE SHALL NOTI-
FY  ALL  LICENSED  AND  REGISTERED  CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IN THE AFFECTED
DISTRICT, THE STATE CHILD CARE RESOURCE AND REFERRAL AGENCY, AS WELL  AS
THE  LOCAL  CHILD  CARE RESOURCE AND REFERRAL AGENCY. SAID NOTICE MAY BE
MADE BY E-MAIL OR REGULAR MAIL IN THE FORM OF A LETTER OR POSTCARD,  AND
SHALL  INFORM  THE  RECIPIENT  OF  THE DATE OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE AND A
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE. THE NOTICE SHALL ALSO  REQUEST  THAT
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS THAT RECEIVE THE NOTICE IMMEDIATELY POST THE NOTICE
IN  A PLACE WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE SEEN BY THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN
IN THE PROVIDER'S CARE. THIS NOTICE SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS A SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR ANY NOTICE TO PARENTS WHICH IS REQUIRED BY LAW.
