S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 3637 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E February 13, 2015 ___________ Introduced by Sen. ORTT -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Mental Health and Develop- mental Disabilities AN ACT to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to establishing the task force on adults with developmental disabilities; 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 findings. The legislature finds that develop- mental disabilities require a lifetime of person-centered services and supports, yet much of the focus on developmental disabilities relates to education and development, and neglects concerns that may arise later in a person's life. The legislature also finds that adults with develop- mental disabilities may face significant challenges in various aspects of their lives, including such areas as job placement, housing and long- term care. Consequently, the legislature finds that there is a pressing need for policymakers and advocates in the state to formulate achievable goals for state government to meet in order to better serve the communi- ty of adults with developmental disabilities. To this end, it is in the public interest to establish a task force on adults with developmental disabilities to develop a comprehensive plan for meeting the various needs of adults with developmental disabilities living in New York. S 2. The mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new section 13.42 to read as follows: S 13.42 TASK FORCE ON ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. (A) THERE IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED THE TASK FORCE ON ADULTS WITH DEVELOP- MENTAL DISABILITIES IN THE OFFICE. THE PURPOSE OF THE TASK FORCE SHALL BE TO STUDY, EVALUATE AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO SPECIFIC ACTIONABLE MEASURES TO SUPPORT AND MEET THE NEEDS OF ADULTS WITH DEVEL- OPMENTAL DISABILITIES WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE STATE, INCLUDING SUCH NEEDS AS VOCATIONAL, RESIDENTIAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD04992-01-5
