   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. The commissioner of the department  of  transportation,  in
 consultation  with the commissioner of the office for people with devel-
 opmental disabilities and any other department, division, board, bureau,
 commission, agency or public authority of the  state  or  any  political
 subdivision  thereof deemed necessary by the commissioner of transporta-
 tion and the commissioner of the office for  people  with  developmental
 disabilities,  shall  conduct a statewide study and review of the trans-
 portation of individuals with  developmental  disabilities.  Such  study
 shall  include,  but  not be limited to, geographic location challenges,
 the availability of transportation for people with  developmental  disa-
 bilities,  the  decision  making  authority  for  non-emergency Medicaid
 transportation, and any unique concerns based on  regional  issues.  The
 study  shall  also  look at how community homes are currently determined
 and how such homes will be determined going forward taking into  account
 transportation availability and options.
   §  2.  The  commissioner  of  the office for people with developmental
 disabilities and the commissioner of transportation shall, on or  before
 December  31,  2017,  submit  a report of such study, including detailed
 recommendations and findings, to the governor, the  temporary  president
 of  the  senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the
 senate, the minority leader of the  assembly,  and  the  chairs  of  the
 senate and assembly mental health and transportation committees.
   § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
