 PURPOSE :

This bill contains provisions needed to implement the Education, Labor
and Family Assistance portions of the FY 2018 Executive Budget.

This memorandum describes Parts A through U of the bill which are
described wholly within the parts listed below.

Part A Amend Education Law and make other changes necessary to
authorize School Aid and implement education-related programs in the
Executive Budget.

 PURPOSE :

This bill contains various provisions necessary for implementation of
the education portion of the FY 2018 Executive Budget.

Statement in Support, Summary of Provisions, Existing Law, and Prior
Legislative History:

Public education in New York represents a significant commitment of
State and local resources. With total spending levels exceeding $60
billion, New Yorkers have maintained the highest per-pupil spending
levels in the nation - even during difficult financial times. This
substantial investment is a reflection of New York State's
longstanding commitment to providing opportunity for all students.

This bill includes measures to authorize School Aid along with other
changes necessary to implement education-related programs in the
Executive Budget. Significant provisions include:

* Largest Ever State Support for Schools. The FY 2018 Executive Budget
recommends a year-over-year increase of $961 million in direct aid to
school districts; a total of $25.6 Billion. This represents the
highest level of State support to schools in New York's history.

* Foundation Aid. The FY 2018 Executive Budget recommends a Foundation
Aid increase of $428 million. In addition, the Budget recommends
updating certain elements of the Foundation Aid formula to more
accurately reflect current student poverty and school district income
wealth.

* Community Schools. The FY 2018 Executive Budget recommends
increasing by $50 million, to a total of $150 million, the Community
Schools set-aside within Foundation Aid. This increase would be
targeted to school districts with failing and persistently failing
schools as well as districts with significant growth in English
language learners.

* Charter Schools. The FY 2018 Executive Budget recommends removing
the regional cap on charter school growth in New York City. The Budget
would also create a new tier of Charter School Transitional Aid to
provide school districts with support in making tuition payments to
charter schools. Additionally, the Budget would increase support for
new and expanding charter schools located in privately-leased space in
New York City.

*Merge Prekindergarten Programs. The FY 2018 Executive Budget
recommends consolidating the State-funded prekindergarten programs,
beginning by merging the Priority Full-day Prekindergarten and
Expanded Half-day Prekindergarten Grant Program for High Need Students
into the Universal Prekindergarten program in the 2017-18 school year.

*Extend Mayoral Control of New York City Schools. The FY 2018
Executive Budget recommends extending mayoral control of the New York

City School District for an additional three years (through the
2019-20 school year).

*Other Miscellaneous Provisions. The FY 2018 Executive Budget also
recommends a number of other provisions, including extensions of
existing provisions of State law.

 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :

Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect April 1, 2017, except that selected
provisions take effect immediately or on other specified dates.
Part B - Amend the Education Law to create New York State's first
Recovery High School programs
 PURPOSE :
This bill would create New York State's first Recovery High School
programs.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would create New York's first recovery high schools - one in
the downstate region and the other in the upstate region.
Research has shown that after treatment for a substance use disorder,
approximately 70 percent of students who return to high school relapse
within six months to a year. When implemented as a pilot program in
other states, Recovery High Schools have proven to be an effective
model to help youth in recovery stay healthy and graduate.
This proposal would make statutory changes needed for the creation of
Recovery High School programs in New York State. Specifically, this
bill would authorize:
*The New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services
(OASAS) to approve two Boards of Cooperative Educational Services
(BOCES) in the state to provide "Recovery High School" programs for
students diagnosed with a substance use disorder who have demonstrated
a commitment to recovery; Such programs would include:
*a comprehensive high school education;
*a structured plan of recovery for students;
*partnership with a local social services agency with expertise in
substance use disorder and mental health; and
*additional program elements adopted in regulations of the
commissioner of OASAS.
*Designated Recovery High School programs to be eligible to receive
BOCES aid from the state; and
*Designated BOCES programs to enter into contracts with OASAS or any
other organization for the purpose of operating a Recovery High
School.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part C - Make various changes to State law to align with recent
changes to the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act
 PURPOSE :
This bill would amend the Education Law to conform to recent Federal
changes to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. These changes
are critical to protecting the rights of students experiencing
homelessness, and to ensuring that these students have access to
school and the supports necessary to be successful in school.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend various provisions in Education Law § 3209
relating to definitions, school selection, designation forms, tuition
reimbursement and transportation, and would add additional provisions
relating to dispute resolution and privacy of homeless records. The
changes are as follows:
Definitions:
*Amend § 3209(1)(a)(1)(iv) and (v) to eliminate "awaiting foster care
placement" from the definition of homeless and add the definition of
an unaccompanied youth.
*Amend § 3209(1)(c) and (d) to include preschool and to clarify the
school selection options for children who become homeless before they
have started preschool or kindergarten.
*Add § 3209(1)(f) and (h) to include a definition of "feeder school"
and "receiving school."
*Add § 3209(1)(g) to include a definition of "preschool."

right to designate either the school of origin or any school that
non-homeless children and youth who live in the attendance area in

including a preschool.
*Amend § 3209(2)(c)(1)-(3);(d) to allow a homeless child to stay in
the same school for the duration of homelessness and through the end
of the school year in which she/he becomes permanently housed,
provided that this placement is consistent with the best interest of
the child, and to clarify that a child who has become permanently
housed during a school year is allowed to stay in the same school for
one additional year if during that school year the child would be
attending the terminal grade in such school.
Designation Forms:
*Amend § 3209(2)(e) to require that the completed designation form be
given to the local educational agency (LEA) liaison for the LEA in
which the designated school is located in a timeframe prescribed by
the Commissioner.
*Amend § 3209(2)(f)(1) to require that school districts review
completed designation forms to help ensure proper processing of
tuition reimbursement requests.
*Amend § 3209(2)(f)(6) to eliminate the requirement that school
districts send copies of completed designation forms to the
Commissioner.
Missed Application and/or Enrollment Deadlines:
*Amend § 3209(2)(f)(2) to require LEAs to immediately enroll children
and youth who are homeless even if they are missing any of the
documents normally needed for enrollment, and/or have missed

*Amend § 3209(2)(f)(3) to require that LEAs make best interest
decisions about where students who are homeless attend school.

Tuition Reimbursement:
*Amend § 3209(3)(a) to allow for tuition reimbursement for preschool
students who are homeless.
Transportation:
*Amend § 3209(4)(a) to require that where a local department of social
services (DSS) is responsible for transportation, a DSS's obligation
to transport extends to students in preschool and to students with
transportation listed on their Individualized Education Programs
(IEPs), and that when a DSS requests that the school district
transport a student for whom DSS is responsible, the school district
will provide the transportation and DSS will reimburse the school
district.
*Amend § 3209(4)(b) to require the designated school district of
attendance to be responsible for transporting students in runaway and
homeless youth shelters to school.
*Amend § 3209(4)(c) to require students who attend the school of
origin to receive transportation, which includes transportation to
preschool.
*Amend § 3209(4)(e) and adds (4)(f) to require that transportation be
provided if the lack of such transportation poses a barrier to a
homeless child's participation in summer school or an extracurricular
or academic activity.
*Add § 3209(4)(g) and (h) to allow for continued enrollment and
transportation to the school of origin across state boundaries.
*Add § 3209(4)(i) to require that transportation be provided for the
duration of homelessness and through the remainder of school year in
which the student becomes permanently housed; reflect that the local
DSS is only responsible for transportation for the duration of
homelessness; and reflect that the school district of attendance is
responsible for transportation after the student becomes permanently
housed and may bill the new district of residence for the
transportation costs.

*Amend § 3209(5) to ensure that school districts continue enrollment
and transportation during any dispute involving eligibility, school
selection, or enrollment pending final resolution of the dispute,
including all available appeals.

Comparable Services:
*Add § 3209(9) to require students who are homeless to be offered
comparable services to those offered to other students.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part D - Make SUNY and CUNY Tuition-Free for Middle-Class Families
 PURPOSE :
This bill would make college tuition-free for New York's middle-class
families at all SUNY and CUNY two- and four-year colleges. This
program will help alleviate the crushing burden of student debt while
enabling thousands of bright young students to realize their dream of
higher education.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would create the Excelsior Scholarship, New York's
tuition-free college degree program and the first of its kind in the
nation. Under the Excelsior Scholarship, more than 940,000
middle-class families and individuals making up to $125,000 per year
would qualify to attend college tuition-free at all public
universities in New York State. As a college education is increasingly
necessary to succeed in the 21st century workplace, the Excelsior
Scholarship program would ensure all of New York's students have
access to a quality education and the skills they need to succeed in
the global economy.
Tuition-free college would begin immediately for students of families
making up to $100,000 annually and phase in over the next two years to
those making up to $125,000 annually. To qualify for an Excelsior
Scholarship, students in both community college and four-year colleges
who are residents of New York State must be on track to complete their
degree in two or four years, respectively.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. The program is estimated to cost $163 million per year once
fully phased in.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part E - Enact the New York State DREAM Act
 PURPOSE :
This bill would enact the New York State DREAM Act to support the
advancement of undocumented immigrant students by making them eligible
to receive State financial assistance for college.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
The New York State DREAM Act would amend Education Law to make
students without lawful immigration status eligible for the Tuition
Assistance Program and other State financial assistance programs
offered to college students who are New York State residents.
To become eligible for State financial assistance, a student without
lawful immigration status would need to have lived continuously in New
York State while attending high school or a high school general
equivalency program in the State, and apply for admission at a college
in New York within five years of receiving a high school or high
school equivalency diploma. The bill would also make conforming
changes to the laws governing resident tuition policy at the State
University of New York and the City University of New York.
The DREAM Act would support the advancement of undocumented immigrant
students and continue New York State's tradition of welcoming
immigrants and honoring their contribution to our culture and economy.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2018 Executive
Budget.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect 90 days after the issuance of regulations
and the development of an application form by the Higher Education
Services Corporation.
Part F - Make colleges accountable for exorbitant tuition rates
 PURPOSE :
This bill would hold colleges in New York accountable if they raise
tuition and fees above a certain threshold.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
To help make college more affordable and control excessive costs, this
bill would limit annual tuition and fee increases to either $500 or
the three year average of the Higher Education Price Index (HEPI),
whichever is greater. Starting in FY 2019, colleges and universities
that exceed the tuition and fee increase threshold would disqualify
newly enrolled students from receiving a Tuition Assistance Program
(TAP) award.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect July 1, 2018.
Part G - Renew a predictable funding plan for SUNY and CUNY
 PURPOSE :
This bill would renew a predictable funding plan for SUNY and CUNY for
an additional five years.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
The last predictable funding plan, NYSUNY 2020 and NYCUNY 2020, was
enacted in 2011 for a five-year period to keep tuition increases low
and predictable while providing additional resources to New York's
public colleges and universities.
The five-year rational tuition plan stabilized an unpredictable
tuition rollercoaster that prevented students and their families from
being able to plan for the full cost of their education. Prior to
NYSUNY 2020 and NYCUNY 2020, there were drastic tuition spikes upwards
of 45%. These dramatic spikes caused students to suddenly pay
significantly more year-to-year. The rational tuition plan replaced
this ineffective model with modest increases coupled with greater
financial assistance. Because of New York's commitment to providing an
affordable quality education through SUNY and CUNY, tuition and fees
at New York's public four-year colleges are among one of the lowest in
the nation -- $1,874 below the national average and lower than 38
other states.
NYSUNY 2020 and NYCUNY 2020 also provided important financial
assistance to make college affordable for students with limited
income. Revenue from tuition increases has been used to fund tuition
credits for students eligible for the Tuition Assistance Program, thus
maintaining their access to educational opportunities.
This program also allowed campuses to better plan and leverage the
State's investments for student success. SUNY and CUNY have used the
proceeds from tuition increases and consistent level of State support
to hire additional faculty and establish new degree programs in
high-need fields to ensure New Yorkers are prepared for the jobs of
the future. In addition, since 2011, the program has provided $580
million in competitive capital challenge grants to support projects
that focus on improving both academic outcomes and economic
opportunities.
To keep tuition low and predictable, and to infuse additional funds
into New York's public university systems, this bill would renew a
predictable tuition plan for an additional five years. Under this new
five-year plan, SUNY and CUNY would be authorized, but not required,
to raise tuition up to $250 annually. The revenue generated from any
tuition increase would be reinvested to support faculty, instruction,
initiatives to improve student success and completion, and tuition
credits for TAP-eligible students.
Budget Implications:
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget. A $250 annual tuition increase would raise $70 million
annually for SUNY and $43 million for CUNY. In addition, the Executive
Budget Capital Plan includes $110 million in new annual funding for
the NYSUNY 2020 and NYCUNY 2020 Challenge Grant Program.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately and sunset on July 1, 2022.
Part H - Use CUNY Foundation Resources to Benefit Students Purpose:
This bill would enable the City University of New York to utilize
additional funds from its affiliated not-for-profit foundations to
support tuition assistance initiatives for students in need.
Summary of Provisions and Statement in Support:
The foundations and organizations affiliated with CUNY manage over a
billion dollars. This money is intended to benefit students and CUNY.
However, a recent interim report of the State Inspector General
identified numerous examples of financial waste and abuse, including
the expenditure of funds on many questionable activities by CUNY's
affiliated not-for-profit foundations.
The Executive Budget advances a series of ethical reforms to the
governance and oversight of these organizations. In addition to those
reforms, this bill would direct funds from CUNY foundations to fund
tuition assistance initiatives for students in need attending CUNY.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part I - Enhance the State's ability to recover unpaid wages
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend liability for wage theft to the top ten
shareholders of out-of-state limited liability companies (LLCs) and
authorize the Department of Labor (DOL) to directly enforce such
liabilities.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Currently, the LLC Law only provides personal financial liability for
wage theft to the top ten members of domestic, or in-state, LLCs.
This bill extends this provision to foreign, or out-of-state, LLCs.
The personal financial liability of the top ten owners for wage claims
has been a core principle in New York for over 150 years, starting
with the earliest business corporations law that covered domestic
corporations and was later expanded to foreign corporations and this
amendment will expand the reach of DOL to collect wages due to workers
from the top ten owners of corporations and LLCs, domestic and
foreign.
This bill also authorizes DOL to enforce such liabilities on behalf of
workers with unpaid wage claims. Currently, individual workers are
left on their own to collect wage claims through judicial action.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2018 Executive
Budget as these measures will substantially enhance DOL's ability to
recover wages owed to workers, which is a component of DOL's mission.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately, with respect to liabilities
owed to laborers, servants or employees whose services had not been
terminated more than 180 days prior to this act.
Part J - Raise the Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction
 PURPOSE :
This bill would raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction from 16 to 18
years of age and establish the services necessary to improve outcomes
for youth.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
New York is one of only two states that sets its age of juvenile
jurisdiction at 16 years of age. This means that all 16 and 17 year
olds are processed in the criminal justice system, and not through the
Family Courts, no matter their offense. All other states, except for
North Carolina, set the age at 17 or 18 years old. Research has shown
that incarcerating adolescents in adult jails and prisons has
significant negative impacts including higher suicide rates and
increased recidivism. Experience in other states, such as Connecticut
and Illinois, has shown that raising the age of juvenile jurisdiction
can lower recidivism and juvenile crime rates through evidence based
interventions designed specifically for adolescents.
In 2014, the Governor established the Commission on Youth, Public
Safety and Justice to make recommendations on how best to raise the
age of juvenile jurisdiction to age 18, improve outcomes for youth,
and promote community safety. The SFY 2018 Executive Budget reflects
the most integral steps to implement the Commission's recommendations
to plan, create and expand services, including but not limited to
diversion and probation services, for 16 and 17 year old youth who
will be involved in the juvenile justice system. The age of juvenile
jurisdiction will be raised to age 17 on January 1, 2019 and to age 18
on January 1, 2020.
The major provisions of this bill would:
*Raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction from age 16 to age 17 on
January 1, 2019 and to age 18 on January 1, 2020; raise the lower age
of juvenile jurisdiction from age 7 to age 12 on January 1, 2019 for
all offenses except homicide; expand Family Court jurisdiction to
include youth ages 16 and 17 charged with non-violent felonies,
misdemeanors, or harassment or disorderly conduct violations;
*Create Youth Parts in the Superior Court to process Juvenile Offender
cases;
*Originate cases for the following crimes committed at age 16 and 17
in the Youth Part: all violent felony offenses, class A crimes,
homicide offenses, sexually motivated felonies, crimes of terrorism,
felony vehicular assaults, aggravated criminal contempt in violation
of duly served order of protection where the juvenile intentionally or
recklessly causes physical injury or serious physical injury to a
person for whose protection such order was issued, and conspiracy to
commit any of these offenses or tampering with a witness related to
any of these offenses;
*Provide current capacity for removal of Juvenile Offender cases to
Family Court for 16 and 17 year old cases in the Youth Part and allow
for removal to Family Court, upon consent of the District Attorney,
for the current juvenile offender crime of second degree robbery and
for any violent felony offense that is not a juvenile offender crime
for youth age 15 and under;
*Prohibit confinement of any minor in adult jail or prison;
*Prohibit detention and placement for youth who are low risk if they
are adjudicated for first or second-time misdemeanors that do not
involve harm to another person, and for youth who have technical
probation violations and who do not pose an imminent risk to public
safety;
*Expand to 16 and 17 year olds the current juvenile practice regarding
parental notification of arrest and the use of Office of Court
Administration approved rooms for questioning by police;
*Mandate diversion attempts for low-risk (per risk assessment)
misdemeanor cases;
*Allow the juvenile, at his or her discretion or at the discretion of
their parent or other persons legally responsible for the care of the
juvenile, to be accompanied by counsel during the assessment;
*Allow for additional time for probation adjustment in order to access
necessary services and create the capacity for probation to obtain an
order of protection while adjusting a case;
*Establish probation family engagement specialists to facilitate
adjustment, and a continuum of evidenced-based diversion services;
*Establish Family Support Centers to provide comprehensive services to
children at risk of person in need of supervision (PINS) adjudications
and their families, as well as very young children who are no longer
subject to jurisdiction as juvenile delinquents;
*Effective January 1, 2020, prohibit the use of detention in PINS
proceedings and only authorize PINS foster care placements, if
appropriate, for sexually exploited youth who may be in need of
specialized services;
*Provide access to weekend arraignment for Family Court cases;
*Use determinate sentencing for youth sentenced under Juvenile
Offender or Youthful Offender statuses, including 16 and 17 year olds
with removal of any criminal sentences imposing life imprisonment
without parole;
*Require post-release supervision provided by the Office of Children
and Family Services (OCFS) for Juvenile Offender youth coming out of
OCFS facilities to facilitate better re-entry;
*Expand the presumption for granting Youthful Offender status and
provide for confidentiality of felony filings that are eligible for
Youthful Offender status;
*Provide for the sealing of records of certain convictions upon
application and meeting certain required criteria. Additional grounds
for denial include failure to provide sworn statement supporting the
relief requested and conviction of two or more felonies or more than
two crimes;
*Authorize state reimbursement of local shares for counties that are
subject to the property tax cap, upon a showing that (i) any expense
incurred as a result of the implementation of raising the age of
juvenile jurisdiction above fifteen years of age would result in
fiscal hardship (ii) that the county has met the requirement of
property tax cap, and (iii) a plan has been developed by the county
that shows how the county will appropriately implement the
requirements of law.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the SFY 2018
Executive Budget as the five year State financial plan includes
funding for state share costs associated with the legislation. It is
possible that savings that are not currently assumed may occur as a
result of this legislation that would substantially mitigate these
costs.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act would take effect immediately except as otherwise noted.
Part K - Reauthorize Child Welfare Financing, and restructure
financing for Residential School Placements of children with special
needs in New York City
 PURPOSE :
This bill would extend the current structure of financing for child
welfare services, and also restructure the funding for Committee of
Special Education (CSE) residential placements and foster care
residential placements in New York City.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Part A:
The Child Welfare Financing Reform Act is scheduled to sunset on June
30, 2017. This bill would amend Chapter 83 of the Laws of 2002 to
extend the child welfare financing structure through June 30, 2022.
The Child Welfare Financing Reform Act established a financing system
that incentivizes preventive services to keep youth unnecessarily out
of more expensive institutional settings. Under this system, the State
provides 62% open-ended reimbursement to local social service
districts (LSSDs) to support child protective and preventive services,
as well as after care, independent living costs, and adoption
administration costs. Foster Care placements are supported through
State allocations to LSSDs from the State Foster Care Block Grant
(FCBG), and costs include those related to the maintenance,
supervision, and tuition of children in foster care.
The Child Welfare Financing Reform Act also includes CSE funding. CSE
is the primary placement system providing special education services
to children with educational disabilities. CSEs make placements into
day and residential schools, and include programs located both within
and outside the State. CSE costs are shared between the State
(18.424%), school districts (38.424%), and LSSDs (43.152%).
Enactment of this bill is required to continue the current funding
structure that provides open ended funding for preventive services
that offer a greater chance of keeping families intact, and block
grant funding for more expensive foster care placements. Since the
enactment of the Child Welfare Financing Reform Act in 2002, number of
children in foster care has declined from 37,000 to 17,500.
Part B:
Section 1 of the bill would change the funding structure of CSE
placements in New York City. The Office of Children and Family
Services (OCFS) is charged with overseeing the maintenance costs of
students who are placed in residential schools by a school district's
CSE. This proposal would eliminate the current 18.424% State share for
New York City placements, and increase the school district's share by
an equal amount from 38.424% to 56.848%. This action would better
align fiscal responsibilities with the entity that makes the placement
decisions.
Section 2 changes the funding structure of tuition costs associated
with foster care placements in New York City. Tuition costs are
eligible for reimbursement under the FCBG which covers approximately
50% of tuition and other eligible costs; and LSSDs pay the remaining
50%. This proposal would eliminate the State's share of funding for
tuition expenditures for foster children placed by the New York City
Social Service District.
Budget Implications:
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the SFY 2018
Executive Budget which assumes that the current funding structure for
child welfare services is continued. In addition, this bill is
necessary to enact Executive Budget proposals to restructure the
funding of CSE and foster care tuition costs in New York City, which
have an estimated SFY 2018 savings of $42 million ($19 million CSE and
$23 million foster care tuition).
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part L - To clarify the state definition of "abused child" under the
Family Court Act
 PURPOSE :
To clarify that the state definition of "abused child" under the
Family Court Act (FCA) includes children that are identified as
victims of sex trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons
under the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would amend the definition of "abused child" that appears in
FCA § 1012 to expressly include children whose parent, or the person
legally responsible for their care, permits, encourages, commits or
allows any offense that would render the child either a victim of "sex
trafficking", or a victim of "severe forms of trafficking in persons,"
under the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (FTVPA)
or any successor federal statute.
In order to maintain eligibility for federal Child Abuse and Neglect
Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA) funding, the Federal Justice for
Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. No. 114-22), as amended by
42 U.S.C. 5106(g), requires states to characterize children that are
identified as victims of "sex trafficking" or "severe forms of
trafficking in persons" under the FTVPA as abused children, on, or
prior to, May 29, 2017. New York receives approximately $3 million
annually in federal CAPTA funding.
This proposal expressly clarifies that New York's definition of
"abused child" includes victims of "sex trafficking" and "severe forms
of trafficking in persons." Although New York's existing definition of
child abuse can be interpreted to include such children, the proposed
clarification will protect New York's ability to continue to receive
federal CAPTA funding.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
There are no costs associated with implementing this proposal, but it
is necessary for the State to remain eligible for continued receipt of
approximately $3 million in federal CAPTA funding.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part M - Enhance services for runaway and homeless youth Purpose:
This bill would authorize local governments to provide enhanced
services to youth under the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA).
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Youth who are homeless or lack consistent, stable housing are highly
vulnerable to violence, crime, human trafficking and sexual
exploitation. This bill would better address the service needs of
runaway and homeless youth by creating more flexibility for local
governments to offer additional lengths of stay in residential RHYA
programs, and to address the local availability of services and/or
safe, stable and affordable housing for these individuals.
Additionally, it would allow homeless persons between the ages of 21
to 24, when authorized by the municipality, to access age-appropriate
RHYA services that may otherwise be unavailable in the adult homeless
system. Homeless youth and young adults often lack the life skills
needed to live independently and have little or no work experience.
Combining shelter with the provision of other age-appropriate services
to these individuals, as is done in residential RHYA programs, will
facilitate their ability to live self-sufficiently and reduce their
need for future services.
Specifically, this bill would allow local governments providing RHYA
services the option to make the following enhancements to their
programs:
*Raise the maximum eligibility age from 20 to 24 for homeless youth
served in transitional independent living support programs (TILSPs).
*Extend the authorized period from 18 to 24 months for residential
services so that residential services may be provided to homeless
youth in TILSPs for a longer period of time.
*Extend the authorized period for residential services to be provided
to runaway youth in residential runaway and homeless youth crisis
services programs (RHYCSPs) using a sliding scale that ties the
authorized length of stay to the age of the youth and their
circumstances.
*Authorize "exigent circumstances requests" to be made to the New York
State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to allow for a
particular younger homeless youth to be served in a residential RHYA
program and/or to allow a particular runaway or homeless youth to be
served for an additional length of stay in a residential RHYA program,
so long as such request is approved by the municipal runaway and
homeless youth coordinator and any other person or entity that may be
designated by the local government to grant such approval.
The bill would make other reforms to the RHYA including:
*Rename "approved runaway programs" to "runaway and homeless youth
crisis services programs" (RHYCSPs) to better align with the services
provided and the populations served by such programs.
*Require RHYA programs to contact the applicable local department of
social services (LDSS) if it is believed that a youth being served in
the program may be a destitute child, provide information to youth who
may be eligible to re-enter foster care in accordance with article
10-B of the family court act, and refer any such youth that may be
interested in re-entering foster care to the applicable LDSS.
*Require that residential RHYA programs serving youth under the age of
eighteen that are certified by OCFS on or after the bill's effective
date be authorized agencies.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
This bill would authorize enhanced services that local governments may
choose to provide. The FY 2018 Executive Budget continues funding for
RHYA services at $4.84 million, which may be used to support the
optional enhanced services.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect January 1, 2018 and authorizes OCFS to
promulgate associated regulations on or prior to the effective date.
Part N - Provide health care services to children in foster care
through Managed Care plans
 PURPOSE :
To allow Voluntary Foster Care Agencies to transition from a
fee-for-service health care model to a managed care plan for certain
health care services.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
There are currently 93 Voluntary Foster Care Agencies licensed by OCFS
operating across New York State providing room, board, health and
behavioral health services to approximately 15,500 Foster Care
children.
As part of Governor Cuomo's Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT), all Foster
Care children placed with Voluntary Foster Care Agencies are intended
to transition into Managed Care from the current fee-for-service model
in January 2019. This transition into Managed Care would represent an
opportunity to improve the current system and outcomes for vulnerable
children, and would allow foster care providers to be properly
reimbursed for health services.
Managed Care plans can only enter into contracts with organizations
licensed to provide health-related services. However, the Department
of Health (DOH) does not license Voluntary Foster Care Agencies as
health care providers. Absent this licensure path, Voluntary Foster
Care Agencies will not be able to contract with Managed Care plans for
health-related services after Foster Care children transition to
Managed Care plans in January of 2019, causing potentially significant
fiscal distress to these agencies and diminishing the quality of
health care provided to Foster Care children.
This bill would require that any Voluntary Foster Care Agency that
provides certain health-related services must obtain a license issued
by DOH in conjunction with the Office of Children and Family Services
(OCFS). This license would be issued after a determination that the
Voluntary Foster Care Agency's equipment, rules, standards of care and
services are fit and adequate, and that the health-related services
provided are consistent with DOH regulations. The bill would also
require DOH and OCFS to administer the licensing process and determine
the standards for care and services. Additionally the bill would
authorize DOH, in consultation with OCFS, to revoke, suspend, limit,
annul, or deny a license in cases of noncompliance with any of the
license's requirements, and establishes a hearing process for such
cases.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
The incremental costs to DOH and OCFS of implementing this proposal
are anticipated to be minimal.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part O - Increase the amount of lottery winnings that the State can
recoup, related to current and former public assistance recipients,
from fifty percent of such winnings to one-hundred percent
 PURPOSE :
This bill would authorize the State to recoup the entirety of lottery
winnings of $600 or more, up to the amount of assistance rendered, for
current and former public assistance (PA) recipients who have received
such assistance in the last ten years.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Section 131-r of the Social Services Law and Section 1613-b of the Tax
Law currently authorize the State to intercept fifty percent of
lottery winnings over $600 for current or former PA recipients, up to
the amount of assistance they have received. The bill would allow the
State to recoup one-hundred percent of lottery winnings over $600, up
to the amount of assistance the recipient received, within the past
ten years.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill would result in reimbursement to the State and
local districts for PA costs, resulting in Financial Plan and local
district savings. The SFY 2018 savings related to this bill would be
approximately $1.8 million gross with total State savings of $1
million ($700,000 Federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families
(TANF) and $300,000 State General Fund) and associated local district
savings of $750,000 ($530,000 New York City and $220,000 rest-of-state
districts). The annual gross savings thereafter would be approximately
$3.5 million with total State savings of $2 million ($1.4 million TANF
and $600,000 State General Fund) and associated local district savings
of $1.5 million ($1.1 million New York City and $400,000 rest-of-state
districts).
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill takes effect July 1, 2017.
Part P - Authorizes the pass-through of any Federal Supplemental
Security Income Cost of Living Adjustment which becomes effective on
or after January 1, 2018
 PURPOSE :
This bill would authorize Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
benefits to be increased in 2018 by the percentage of any SSI Cost of
Living Adjustment (COLA).
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
Sections 131-o and 209 of the Social Services Law establish specific
amounts for the monthly Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) and the monthly
SSI standard of need (the maximum combined Federal and State benefit)
for recipients in various living arrangements. This bill would amend
those sections of law to set forth the actual 2017 PNA amounts and the
standard of need for eligibility and payment of additional State
payments. It also authorizes those amounts to be automatically
increased in 2018 by the percentage of any Federal SSI COLA which
becomes effective within the first half of calendar year 2018.
Legislation to effectuate the Federal SSI COLA has been enacted
annually since 1984.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
If the pass-through of the Federal SSI COLA is not enacted in the 2018
budget, there will be no statutory authority to provide SSI recipients
with the full amount of any Federal increase plus a State supplement
at the current level. The State supplements would be automatically
reduced to reflect the current standards of need set forth in the SSL.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect December 31, 2017.
Part Q - Enhance protections for children residing in or visiting
publicly-funded emergency family shelters
 PURPOSE :
This bill would require publicly-funded emergency shelters for
families with children to perform two enhanced background checks for
all prospective employees who will have regular and substantial
contact with children residing in or visiting such shelters.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This bill would require two background checks for any publicly-funded
emergency shelter employees who will have regular and substantial
contact with children: one background check against the Statewide
Central Register for Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR); and a second
background check with the Division of Criminal Justice Services
(DCJS). The bill would also add family shelter employees to the OCFS
list of "mandated reporters" of child abuse or maltreatment.
This bill would amend Sections 412 and 413 of the Social Services Law
(SSL) to define publicly-funded emergency shelters for families with
children. It would add the employees of such shelters to the list of
persons or officials who are required to report cases of suspected
child abuse or maltreatment to the SCR. The bill would also modify SSL
§ 424-a to add such shelters to the list of providers that must
perform SCR checks on prospective and certain existing employees.
The bill would also add a new SSL § 460-h to require publicly-funded
emergency shelters for families and children to perform criminal
record background checks, run through DCJS, of all prospective
employees, consultants, assistants, and volunteers who will have
regular and substantial contact with the children in such shelters.
This section would detail the process for conducting the criminal
history background checks and would ensure confidentiality and due
process rights are protected.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect 90 days after enactment.
Part R - Mortgage Insurance Fund Utilization
 PURPOSE :
This bill would provide for the utilization of $141 million in excess
Mortgage Insurance Fund (MIF) reserves.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
The MIF, a division of the State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA),
was created in 1978 to insure mortgage loans for projects that would
not otherwise be able to obtain private mortgage insurance, thereby
encouraging the commercial and public investment of mortgage capital
and increasing the supply of affordable housing in New York State.
The SONYMA statute allows for excess revenues from the MIF, after
expenses and the required reserves, to be returned to the State
following SONYMA Board approval. The MIF has been previously used to
support new housing development or provide relief for budgetary
deficits; in the FY 2017 Budget, $150 million was used for various
housing assistance and capital programs.
The MIF is currently projected to have over $141 million in reserves
through FY 2018 that can be accessed without negatively impacting the
Fund's credit rating. The funding will be utilized in the following
manner, as prescribed in Sections 1-10 of the bill:
*Rural Rental Assistance Program ($22.9 million): supports rental
subsidies for low-income elderly and family tenants residing in
federally-funded multifamily projects in rural areas of the State;
*Mitchell-Lama Portfolio ($41.0 million): supports the initial
refinancing and capital repairs of 35 Mitchell-Lama affordable housing
projects that Homes and Community Renewal acquired from the Empire
State Development Corporation;
*Neighborhood and Rural Preservation Programs ($12.0 million):
supports community-based housing corporations across the State that
provide various housing related services for low- and moderate-income
populations;
*Various affordable housing capital programs ($59.0 million): supports
the Rural and Urban Community Development Fund Program ($36.0
million); the Low-Income Housing Trust Fund Program ($21.0 million);
and the Homes for Working Families Program ($2.0 million) pursuant to
the Governor's House New York initiative;
*Homeless Housing Programs ($6.5 million): supports the OTDA
consolidated homeless programs, which include: the New York State
Supportive Housing Program, the Solutions to End Homelessness Program,
and the Operational Support for AIDS Housing program; and
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the 2017-18 Executive
Budget, which assumes MIF revenue for the aforementioned programs.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill takes effect immediately.
Part S - Creates the Affordable New York Housing Program
 PURPOSE :
This bill would provide tax benefits for the development of affordable
housing in New York City through the Affordable New York Housing
Program.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
A tax benefit program for development of housing in NYC has been
suspended since January 2016, when the real estate developers and
construction unions failed to reach agreement on construction wages,
as required by legislation that reformed the program in June 2015.
The FY 2018 Executive Budget reinstates the program and includes new
reforms that are required for new residential construction with at
least 300 units below 96th Street in Manhattan and the waterfront
"Gold Coast" in Brooklyn and Queens.
Sections one and two of the bill names the revised program the
Affordable Housing NY Program.
Section three amends the Real Property Tax law, specific to
developments within the specified geographic region by:
*Creating three new affordability options specifically for these
developments;
*Requiring developers to pay an average hourly wage, including
benefits and employer-sided taxes, of:
o $60 in Manhattan;
o $45 in Brooklyn and Queens;
*Providing developments with a 100% abatement on all units, affordable
and market rate, for the 35 years following construction. Only
affordable units receive the benefit for years 26-35 under current
law;
*Extending the regulatory period from 35 to 40 years, thereby
restricting rents and occupancy to the designated AMI.
Large developments outside of the geographic region have the option to
receive the enhanced abatement by meeting the new requirements.  This
section also allows for compliance verification and enforcement
provisions.
Section 4 of the bill repeals the requirement for a memorandum of
understanding between the real estate developers and construction
unions within the Real Property Tax Law.
Section 5 contains the severability clause.
Section 6 provides an immediate effective date, retroactive to January
1, 2016.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget as Affordable New York Housing Program benefits may be utilized
in conjunction with other funds provided for in the Budget for the
development of affordable housing.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately upon enactment and would be
deemed in full force and effect as of January 1, 2016.
Part T - Enhance services provided through veterans' treatment courts
and broaden the availability of such courts
 PURPOSE :
To expand the availability of specialized treatment courts for
veterans facing criminal charges, and to enhance the services provided
through such courts, while continuing to hold defendants accountable
for their actions.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
The major provisions of this bill would:
*Allow that for misdemeanor cases pending in a local criminal court
having preliminary jurisdiction, such court may, upon motion of the
defendant and with the consent of the district attorney, order that
the action be removed to another local criminal court in the same or
an adjoining county that has been designated a veterans treatment
court by the chief administrator of the courts.
*Allow that for felony cases pending in a local criminal court having
preliminary jurisdiction, such court may, upon motion of the defendant
and with the consent of the district attorney, order that the action
be removed to another local criminal court in the same or adjoining
county that has been designated a veterans treatment court by the
chief administrator of the courts.
*Allow, to the extent practicable, for the establishment of veterans
treatment courts as necessary to fulfill the purposes of this bill.
Veterans' treatment courts apply proven resources to assist veterans
facing criminal penalties, including counseling, substance abuse
treatment, as well as housing and job training assistance. In 2008,
the Nation's first veterans' treatment court was started in the
Buffalo city court. While New York now has 29 veterans treatment
courts, not all of New York's veterans live in a jurisdiction that has
such a court. This bill would broaden the availability of veterans'
treatment courts to serve more veterans, including increased
availability of the peer mentoring services offered by such veterans'
treatment courts.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
The FY 2018 Executive Budget includes $1 million in appropriation
authority to support the peer mentoring program in the veterans'
treatment courts and, as feasible, expand the availability of such
courts.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect immediately.
Part U Administrative hearings consolidation
 PURPOSE :
This bill would allow for the consolidation of administrative hearings
across State agencies.
 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS AND STATEMENT IN SUPPORT :
This legislation creates the new Division of Central Administrative
Hearings within the Executive Department, led by a Chief
Administrative Law Judge (AU) who will be appointed by the Governor.
The Chief AU is authorized to reorganize and consolidate
administrative hearing functions within Executive agencies, consistent
with a plan approved by the Director of the Budget.
There is a national movement to consolidate State agency hearing
processes, with over half of the states participating in some form.
Benefits of this consolidation accrue to the public, the State and the
impacted employees. An office independent of other agencies can result
in a more impartial and efficient hearing process, a more skilled
workforce, and possible cost savings in personnel management,
administration, and other back-office functions. ALJs will be more
adaptable, receiving training in multiple areas of the law, providing
flexibility in managing caseloads and addressing backlogs when needed.
A corps of ALJs trained as adaptable generalists will have the
opportunity to gain expertise in multiple areas resulting in greater
advancement opportunities.
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS :
Enactment of this bill is necessary to implement the FY 2018 Executive
Budget, which assumes creation of the new Division.
 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This bill would take effect 180 days after enactment; however, any
actions necessary for implementation are authorized immediately.
The provisions of this act shall take effect immediately, provided,
however, that the applicable effective date of each part of this act
shall be as specifically set forth in the last section of such part.

 wealth index, or (ii) the product of (A) the product of  the  foundation
 amount, the regional cost index, and the pupil need index, multiplied by
 (B)  the  positive  difference,  if  any, of one minus the state sharing
 ratio for total foundation aid. The local tax  factor  shall  be  estab-
 lished by May first of each year by determining the product, computed to
 four  decimal  places  without rounding, of ninety percent multiplied by
 the quotient of the sum of the statewide average tax rate as computed by
 the commissioner for the current year in accordance with the  provisions
 of  paragraph  e of subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred nine-e
 of this part plus the statewide average tax rate computed by the commis-
 sioner for the base year in accordance with  such  provisions  plus  the

 tled. Whenever a school district has been apportioned  more  money  than
 that  to which it is entitled, the commissioner may, by an order, direct
 such moneys to be paid back to the state to be credited to  the  general
 fund  local  assistance  account  for  state  aid to the schools, or may
 deduct such amount from the  next  apportionment  to  be  made  to  said
 district,  provided, however, that, upon notification of excess payments
 of aid for which a recovery must be made by the state through  deduction

 ing  school year and the positive remainder of the district's unreserved
 fund balance at the close of the preceding school year less the  product

 or one-third of such excess payments, and the remaining amount  of  such
 excess  payments  shall be recovered in the third year. Provided further

 the amount to which the district is entitled and for which  recovery  of
 excess  payments  is  to  be  made  pursuant to this paragraph, shall be
 reduced at the time of  actual  payment  by  any  remaining  unrecovered
 balance  of such excess payments, and the remaining scheduled deductions
 of such excess payments pursuant to this paragraph shall be  reduced  by
 the  commissioner  to reflect the amount so recovered. [The commissioner
 shall certify no payment to a school district based on a claim submitted
 later than three years after the close of the school year in which  such
 payment  was first to be made.  For claims for which payment is first to
 be made in the nineteen hundred  ninety-six--ninety-seven  school  year,

 tuition credit until  the  tuition  credit  is  calculated  and  applied
 against  the  tuition charged for the corresponding semester, quarter or
 term.

 eleven--two thousand twelve academic year  and  [each  year  thereafter]
 ENDING  WITH  THE  TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN--TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ACADEMIC

 as determined and calculated by the  New  York  state  higher  education
 services  corporation  pursuant  to section six hundred eighty-nine-a of
 this chapter, shall be applied  toward  the  tuition  charged  for  each
 semester,  quarter  or term of study. Tuition for each semester, quarter

 SPONDING  SEMESTER, QUARTER OR TERM.  PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT THE REVENUE
 RESULTING FROM AN INCREASE IN THE RATE OF TUITION SHALL BE ALLOCATED  TO
 EACH  CAMPUS  PURSUANT  TO  A  PLAN APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO
 SUPPORT INVESTMENTS IN  FACULTY,  INSTRUCTION,  INITIATIVES  TO  IMPROVE
 STUDENT  SUCCESS  AND  ON-TIME  COMPLETION AND A TUITION CREDIT FOR EACH

 COMPLAINANT OR VICTIM WITH RESPECT TO THE MOTION; AND
   (IX)  ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACT INDICATING THAT A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION
 IN THE CRIMINAL COURT WOULD SERVE NO USEFUL PURPOSE.

 YOUTH  PART  OF THE SUPERIOR COURT, and if more than one such instrument
 is filed in  the  course  of  the  same  criminal  action,  such  action
 commences  when the first of such instruments is filed.  The only way in
 which a criminal action can be commenced in a superior court, OTHER THAN

 such accusatory instrument by:
   (a)  The issuance and execution of a warrant of arrest, as provided in

 ment  shall be promptly transmitted to the appropriate district attorney
 upon or prior to the arraignment of  the  defendant  on  the  accusatory
 instrument.    If a police officer or a peace officer is the complainant

 particular accusatory instrument may pursuant to said section 100.55  be
 filed  with a particular town court and such town court is not available
 at the time such  instrument  is  sought  to  be  filed  and  a  warrant
 obtained, such accusatory instrument may be filed with the town court of
 any  adjoining town of the same county.  If such instrument may be filed
 pursuant to said section 100.55 with a particular village court and such
 village court is not available at the time, it may  be  filed  with  the

 designated in accordance  with  paragraph  (w)  of  subdivision  one  of
 section  two  hundred twelve of the judiciary law at the time of defend-
 ant's return, such police officer may bring the  defendant  before  such

 his  own  recognizance or on bail for his appearance on a specified date
 before the local criminal court before which the warrant is  returnable,
 the  latter  court  must,  upon  arraignment of the defendant before it,
 direct that he be fingerprinted by the appropriate  officer  or  agency,
 and  that he appear at an appropriate designated time and place for such
 purpose.

 misdemeanor complaint is not sufficient on its  face  as  prescribed  in
 section  100.40,  and if the court is satisfied that on the basis of the
 available facts or evidence it would be impossible to draw and  file  an
 authorized  accusatory  instrument  that  is sufficient on its face, the
 court must dismiss the accusatory instrument. A superior court may issue
 a summons in any case in  which,  pursuant  to  section  210.10,  it  is

   (a)  the offense for which the defendant is criminally responsible and
 the one or more other offenses for which he OR SHE would not  have  been
 criminally  responsible by reason of infancy are based upon the same act
 or upon the same criminal transaction, as that term is defined in subdi-
 vision two of section 40.10 of this chapter; or
   (b)  the  offenses  are  of such nature that either proof of the first
 offense would be material and admissible as evidence  in  chief  upon  a
 trial of the second, or proof of the second would be material and admis-
 sible as evidence in chief upon a trial of the first.

 SIXTEEN, OR COMMENCING JANUARY FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY,  SEVENTEEN
 years  old  with  the  crime  of murder in the second degree any plea of
 guilty entered pursuant to subdivision three or four must be a  plea  of
 guilty of a crime for which the defendant is criminally responsible;
   (iii)  Where  the  indictment  does  not  charge  a crime specified in
 subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, the district attorney may  recommend
 removal  of the action to the family court. Upon making such recommenda-
 tion the district attorney shall submit a subscribed memorandum  setting
 forth:  (1) a recommendation that the interests of justice would best be
 served by removal of the action to the family  court;  and  (2)  if  the

 degree as defined in subdivision one of section 130.50 of the penal law,
 or an armed felony as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision  forty-one
 of  section  1.20 of this chapter specific factors, one or more of which
 reasonably supports the recommendation, showing, (i) mitigating  circum-
 stances  that  bear  directly  upon  the  manner  in which the crime was
 committed, or (ii) where the defendant was not the sole  participant  in
 the  crime,  that  the  defendant's  participation  was relatively minor
 although not so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution,  or
 (iii)  possible  deficiencies  in  proof of the crime, or (iv) where the
 juvenile offender has no previous adjudications of  having  committed  a
 designated  felony act, as defined in subdivision eight of section 301.2
 of the family court act, regardless of the age of the  offender  at  the

 S. 2006                            91                            A. 3006

 time  of  commission of the act, that the criminal act was not part of a
 pattern of criminal behavior and, in view of the history of  the  offen-
 der, is not likely to be repeated.
   §  32.  Subdivision 2 of section 410.40 of the criminal procedure law,
 as amended by chapter 652 of the laws of 2008, is  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   2.  Warrant.  (A)  Where  the  probation  officer has requested that a
 probation warrant be issued, the court shall, within  seventy-two  hours
 of  its  receipt  of  the request, issue or deny the warrant or take any
 other lawful action including issuance of a notice to appear pursuant to
 subdivision one of this section. If at any time during the period  of  a
 sentence  of probation or of conditional discharge the court has reason-
 able grounds to believe that the defendant has violated a  condition  of
 the sentence, the court may issue a warrant to a police officer or to an
 appropriate  peace  officer  directing  him or her to take the defendant
 into custody and bring the defendant before the court  without  unneces-
 sary  delay;  provided,  however,  if  the court in which the warrant is
 returnable is a superior court, and such court is not available, and the
 warrant is addressed to a police officer or appropriate probation  offi-
 cer  certified  as  a  peace  officer, such executing officer may UNLESS
 OTHERWISE SPECIFIED UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION,  bring  the
 defendant to the local correctional facility of the county in which such
 court  sits,  to be detained there until not later than the commencement
 of the next session of such court occurring on the next business day; or
 if the court in which the warrant is  returnable  is  a  local  criminal
 court,  and such court is not available, and the warrant is addressed to
 a police officer or appropriate probation officer certified as  a  peace
 officer, such executing officer must without unnecessary delay bring the
 defendant  before  an  alternate  local  criminal  court, as provided in
 subdivision five of section 120.90 of this chapter. A court which issues
 such a warrant may attach  thereto  a  summary  of  the  basis  for  the
 warrant.  In  any  case  where  a defendant arrested upon the warrant is
 brought before a local criminal court other than the court in which  the
 warrant  is  returnable,  such  local criminal court shall consider such
 summary before issuing a securing order with respect to the defendant.
   (B) IF THE COURT IN WHICH THE WARRANT  IS  RETURNABLE  IS  A  SUPERIOR
 COURT,  AND SUCH COURT IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THE WARRANT IS ADDRESSED TO
 A POLICE OFFICER OR APPROPRIATE PROBATION OFFICER CERTIFIED AS  A  PEACE
 OFFICER,  SUCH  EXECUTING  OFFICER  SHALL,  WHERE A DEFENDANT IS SIXTEEN
 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER WHO ALLEGEDLY COMMITS AN OFFENSE OR A  VIOLATION
 OF  HIS OR HER PROBATION OR CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE IMPOSED FOR AN OFFENSE
 ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN, OR WHERE  A  DEFENDANT
 IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER WHO ALLEGEDLY COMMITS AN OFFENSE OR
 A VIOLATION OF HIS OR HER PROBATION OR CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE IMPOSED FOR
 AN  OFFENSE  ON  OR  AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY, BRING THE
 DEFENDANT TO A JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY, TO BE DETAINED  THERE  UNTIL
 NOT LATER THAN THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE NEXT SESSION OF SUCH COURT OCCUR-
 RING ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY.
   §  33.  Section  410.60  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 chapter 652 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
 § 410.60 Appearance before court.
   (A) A person who has been  taken  into  custody  pursuant  to  section
 410.40  or [section] 410.50 of this article for violation of a condition
 of a sentence of probation or a sentence of conditional  discharge  must
 forthwith be brought before the court that imposed the sentence. Where a
 violation of probation petition and report has been filed and the person

 S. 2006                            92                            A. 3006
 
 has  not  been  taken  into  custody  nor  has a warrant been issued, an
 initial court appearance shall occur within ten  business  days  of  the
 court's  issuance  of  a  notice  to appear. If the court has reasonable
 cause  to  believe  that  such  person  has  violated a condition of the
 sentence, it may commit him OR HER to the custody of the sheriff or  fix
 bail  or  release  such person on his OR HER own recognizance for future
 appearance at a hearing to be held in accordance with section 410.70  of
 this  article.  If  the  court does not have reasonable cause to believe
 that such person has violated a  condition  of  the  sentence,  it  must
 direct that he OR SHE be released.
   (B)  A  JUVENILE  OFFENDER WHO HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY PURSUANT TO
 SECTION 410.40 OR 410.50 OF THIS ARTICLE FOR VIOLATION OF A CONDITION OF
 A SENTENCE OF PROBATION OR A  SENTENCE  OF  CONDITIONAL  DISCHARGE  MUST
 FORTHWITH  BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT THAT IMPOSED THE SENTENCE.  WHERE
 A VIOLATION OF PROBATION PETITION AND REPORT  HAS  BEEN  FILED  AND  THE
 PERSON HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY NOR HAS A WARRANT BEEN ISSUED, AN
 INITIAL  COURT  APPEARANCE  SHALL  OCCUR WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS OF THE
 COURT'S ISSUANCE OF A NOTICE TO APPEAR.  IF  THE  COURT  HAS  REASONABLE
 CAUSE  TO  BELIEVE  THAT  SUCH  PERSON  HAS  VIOLATED A CONDITION OF THE
 SENTENCE, IT MAY COMMIT HIM OR HER TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF OR  FIX
 BAIL  OR  RELEASE  SUCH PERSON ON HIS OR HER OWN RECOGNIZANCE FOR FUTURE
 APPEARANCE AT A HEARING TO BE HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 410.70  OF
 THIS  ARTICLE. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AUTHORIZE A JUVE-
 NILE TO BE DETAINED FOR A  VIOLATION  OF  A  CONDITION  THAT  WOULD  NOT
 CONSTITUTE  A CRIME IF COMMITTED BY AN ADULT UNLESS THE COURT DETERMINES
 (I) THAT THE JUVENILE POSES A SPECIFIC IMMINENT THREAT TO PUBLIC  SAFETY
 AND  STATES  THE REASONS FOR THE FINDING ON THE RECORD OR (II) THE JUVE-
 NILE IS ON PROBATION FOR AN ACT THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A  VIOLENT  FELONY
 AS  DEFINED  IN  SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW IF COMMITTED BY AN ADULT
 AND THE USE OF GRADUATED SANCTIONS HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED  WITHOUT  SUCCESS.
 IF  THE COURT DOES NOT HAVE REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH PERSON
 HAS VIOLATED A CONDITION OF THE SENTENCE, IT MUST DIRECT THAT THE  JUVE-
 NILE BE RELEASED.
   §  34.  Subdivision 5 of section 410.70 of the criminal procedure law,
 as amended by chapter 17 of the laws of 2014,  is  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   5.  Revocation;  modification;  continuation. (A) At the conclusion of
 the hearing the court may revoke, continue or  modify  the  sentence  of
 probation   or  conditional  discharge.  Where  the  court  revokes  the
 sentence, it must impose sentence as specified in subdivisions three and
 four of section 60.01 of the penal law. Where  the  court  continues  or
 modifies the sentence, it must vacate the declaration of delinquency and
 direct  that  the  defendant  be  released.  If the alleged violation is
 sustained and the court continues  or  modifies  the  sentence,  it  may
 extend the sentence up to the period of interruption specified in subdi-
 vision  two  of  section  65.15  of the penal law, but any time spent in
 custody in any correctional institution OR JUVENILE  DETENTION  FACILITY
 pursuant  to  section 410.40 OR 410.60 of this article shall be credited
 against the term of the sentence.  Provided further, where  the  alleged
 violation is sustained and the court continues or modifies the sentence,
 the  court  may  also extend the remaining period of probation up to the
 maximum term authorized by section 65.00 of  the  penal  law.  Provided,
 however,  a  defendant shall receive credit for the time during which he
 or she was supervised under the original probation sentence prior to any
 declaration of delinquency and for any time spent in custody pursuant to
 this article for an alleged violation of probation.

 S. 2006                            93                            A. 3006

   (B) NOTWITHSTANDING PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, NOTHING IN THIS
 SECTION SHALL AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF A JUVENILE FOR A VIOLATION OF A
 CONDITION THAT WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A CRIME IF  COMMITTED  BY  AN  ADULT
 UNLESS THE COURT DETERMINES (I) THAT THE JUVENILE POSES A SPECIFIC IMMI-
 NENT  THREAT  TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND STATES THE REASONS FOR THE FINDING ON
 THE RECORD OR (II) THE JUVENILE IS ON PROBATION FOR AN  ACT  THAT  WOULD
 CONSTITUTE A VIOLENT FELONY AS DEFINED IN SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW
 IF  COMMITTED  BY  AN  ADULT AND THE USE OF GRADUATED SANCTIONS HAS BEEN
 EXHAUSTED WITHOUT SUCCESS.

 the custody of the sheriff the court must direct that the  principal  be
 taken  to  and  lodged  in  a place certified by the [state division for
 youth] OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES as  a  juvenile  detention
 facility  for the reception of children.  Where such a direction is made
 the sheriff shall deliver the principal in accordance therewith and such
 person shall although lodged and  cared  for  in  a  juvenile  detention
 facility  continue to be deemed to be in the custody of the sheriff.  No
 principal under the age [of sixteen] SPECIFIED to whom the provisions of
 this section may apply shall be detained in any prison, jail, lockup, or
 other place used for adults convicted of a crime  or  under  arrest  and
 charged  with  the  commission  of  a  crime without the approval of the

 any case in which a new securing order is issued for a principal  previ-
 ously  committed to the custody of the sheriff pursuant to this section,

 from  a  juvenile detention facility to the person or place specified in
 the order.

   [Rules  of court for preliminary] PRELIMINARY procedure; ADJUSTMENT OF
 CASES. 1. [Rules of court shall  authorize  and  determine  the  circum-
 stances  under  which  the]  THE  probation  service may confer with any
 person seeking to have a juvenile delinquency petition filed, the poten-
 tial respondent and other interested persons concerning the advisability
 of requesting that a petition be filed IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION.
   2. (A) Except as provided in subdivisions three [and], four, AND THIR-
 TEEN of this section, the probation service  may[,  in  accordance  with
 rules  of  court,]  ATTEMPT  TO  adjust [suitable cases] A CASE before a
 petition is filed IF THE PROBATION SERVICE DETERMINES THAT THE  CASE  IS
 SUITABLE  FOR  ADJUSTMENT  BASED  ON THE ASSESSED LEVEL OF RISK THAT THE
 CHILD WILL COMMIT ANOTHER ACT THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A  CRIME  AS  DETER-
 MINED  BY  A  VALIDATED RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT AND THE EXTENT OF ANY
 PHYSICAL INJURY TO THE VICTIM.
   (B) IF A CHILD IS ASSESSED AT A LOW LEVEL OF RISK AND  THE  EVENTS  IN
 THE  CASE  APPEAR  TO  INVOLVE ONLY ALLEGATIONS THAT THE CHILD COMMITTED
 ACTS THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OR A MISDEMEANOR IF COMMITTED  BY
 AN  ADULT,  THE  PROBATION SERVICE MUST DILIGENTLY ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE
 CASE.  SUCH ATTEMPTS MAY INCLUDE THE USE  OF  A  JUVENILE  REVIEW  BOARD
 COMPRISED  OF  APPROPRIATE  COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO WORK WITH THE CHILD AND
 HIS OR HER FAMILY ON DEVELOPING RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT ACTIVITIES.   THE
 PROBATION SERVICE MAY STOP ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST SUCH A CASE IF IT DETER-
 MINES  THAT THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIAL LIKELIHOOD THAT THE CHILD WILL BENE-
 FIT FROM ATTEMPTS AT ADJUSTMENT IN THE TIME REMAINING FOR ADJUSTMENT  OR
 THE TIME FOR ADJUSTMENT HAS EXPIRED.
   (C)  The  inability  of  the  respondent  or his or her family to make
 restitution shall not be a factor in a decision to adjust a case or in a

 recommendation to the presentment agency pursuant to subdivision six  of
 this section.
   (D)  THE  PROBATION SERVICE MAY MAKE AN APPLICATION TO THE COURT FOR A
 TEMPORARY ORDER OF PROTECTION AS PART OF THE ADJUSTMENT  OF  A  CASE  IN
 ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 304.2 OF THIS PART.
   (E)  Nothing  in  this section shall prohibit the probation service or
 the court from directing a respondent to obtain employment and  to  make
 restitution  from  the  earnings  from  such employment. Nothing in this
 section shall prohibit the probation service or the court from directing
 an eligible person to complete an education reform program in accordance
 with section four hundred fifty-eight-l of the social services law.
   3. The probation service shall not  ATTEMPT  TO  adjust  a  case  THAT
 COMMENCED  IN  FAMILY COURT in which the child has allegedly committed a
 designated felony act THAT INVOLVES ALLEGATIONS THAT  THE  CHILD  CAUSED
 PHYSICAL  INJURY  TO  A  PERSON  unless  [it]  THE PROBATION SERVICE has
 received the written approval of the court.
   9. Efforts at adjustment [pursuant  to  rules  of  court]  under  this
 section  may  not extend for a period of more than two months [without],
 OR, FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN  FOUR  MONTHS  IF  THE  PROBATION  SERVICE
 DETERMINES  THAT  ADJUSTMENT  BEYOND  THE  FIRST TWO MONTHS IS WARRANTED
 BECAUSE DOCUMENTED BARRIERS TO ADJUSTMENT EXIST OR CHANGES  NEED  TO  BE
 MADE TO THE CHILD'S SERVICES PLAN, EXCEPT UPON leave of the court, which
 may extend the ADJUSTMENT period for an additional two months.
   12.  The  probation  service shall certify to the division of criminal
 justice services  and  to  the  appropriate  police  department  or  law
 enforcement  agency  whenever  it  adjusts a case in which the potential
 respondent's fingerprints were taken pursuant to section 306.1  OF  THIS
 PART  in  any  manner  other  than the filing of a petition for juvenile
 delinquency for an act which, if committed by an adult, would constitute
 a felony, provided, however, in the case of a child [eleven  or]  twelve
 years  of  age,  such  certification shall be made only if the act would
 constitute a class A or B felony, OR, IN THE  CASE  OF  A  CHILD  ELEVEN
 YEARS  OF  AGE,  SUCH  CERTIFICATION SHALL BE MADE ONLY IF THE ACT WOULD
 CONSTITUTE A CLASS A-1 FELONY.
   13. The [provisions of  this  section]  PROBATION  SERVICE  shall  not
 [apply]  ATTEMPT  TO  ADJUST  A  CASE  where the petition is an order of
 removal to the family court pursuant to article  seven  hundred  twenty-
 five  of  the  criminal procedure law UNLESS IT HAS RECEIVED THE WRITTEN
 APPROVAL OF THE COURT.

 the respondent committed a felony, it shall order the respondent commit-
 ted  to  the custody of the commissioner of mental health or the commis-
 sioner of THE OFFICE FOR PERSONS WITH developmental disabilities for  an
 initial  period not to exceed one year from the date of such order. Such
 period may be extended annually upon further application to the court by
 the commissioner having custody or his or her designee. Such application
 must be made not more than sixty days prior to the  expiration  of  such
 period  on forms that have been prescribed by the chief administrator of
 the courts. At that time, the commissioner must give written  notice  of
 the application to the respondent, the counsel representing the respond-
 ent and the mental hygiene legal service if the respondent is at a resi-
 dential  facility.  Upon  receipt  of  such  application, the court must
 conduct a hearing to determine the issue of capacity. If, at the conclu-
 sion of a hearing conducted pursuant  to  this  subdivision,  the  court
 finds that the respondent is no longer incapacitated, he or she shall be
 returned  to  the  family court for further proceedings pursuant to this
 article. If the court is satisfied that the respondent continues  to  be
 incapacitated,  the  court  shall  authorize  continued  custody  of the
 respondent by the commissioner for a period not to exceed one year. Such
 extensions shall not continue beyond a reasonable period of time  neces-
 sary  to  determine  whether  the respondent will attain the capacity to
 proceed to a fact finding hearing in the foreseeable future  but  in  no
 event  shall continue beyond the respondent's eighteenth birthday OR, IF
 THE RESPONDENT WAS AT LEAST SIXTEEN  YEARS  OF  AGE  WHEN  THE  ACT  WAS
 COMMITTED, BEYOND THE RESPONDENT'S TWENTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY.
   (b)  If  a  respondent  is in the custody of the commissioner upon the
 respondent's eighteenth birthday, OR IF  THE  RESPONDENT  WAS  AT  LEAST
 SIXTEEN  YEARS  OF AGE WHEN THE ACT RESULTING IN THE RESPONDENT'S PLACE-
 MENT WAS COMMITTED, BEYOND THE RESPONDENT'S TWENTY-FIRST  BIRTHDAY,  the
 commissioner shall notify the clerk of the court that the respondent was
 in his custody on such date and the court shall dismiss the petition.

 ant  to  subdivision three of section [180.75] 722.20 of such law [for a
 reason other than his waiver thereof  pursuant  to  subdivision  two  of
 section  180.75  of  such law], the petition shall be deemed to be based

 ent is a juvenile delinquent and the respondent shall not be entitled to
 any  further  inquiry  on  the subject of whether probable cause exists.
 After the filing of any such petition the court must, however,  exercise
 independent,  de novo discretion with respect to release or detention as

 her family will continue to benefit from diversion services and that all
 available alternatives to detention have been exhausted; and

 contrary  to the best interests of the child based upon, and limited to,
 the facts and circumstances available to the court at the  time  of  the
 hearing held in accordance with this section; and
   (iii) where appropriate, whether reasonable efforts were made prior to
 the  date  of the court hearing that resulted in the detention order, to
 prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the child from his  or  her
 home or, if the child had been removed from his or her home prior to the
 court  appearance  pursuant  to this section, where appropriate, whether
 reasonable efforts were made to make it possible for the child to safely

   (iv) whether the setting of the detention takes into account the prox-
 imity to the community in which the person alleged to be or  adjudicated
 as  a  person in need of supervision lives with such person's parents or
 to which such person will be discharged, and  the  existing  educational
 setting of such person and the proximity of such setting to the location

 by chapter 535 of the laws of 2011  and  subdivision  (f)  as  added  by
 section  7  of  part E of chapter 57 of the laws of 2005, are amended to
 read as follows:
   (b) The designated lead agency shall:
   (i) confer with any person seeking to file a petition, the  youth  who
 may  be  a potential respondent, his or her family, and other interested
 persons, concerning the provision of diversion services before any peti-
 tion may be filed; and
   (ii) diligently attempt to prevent the filing of a petition under this
 article or, after the petition is filed, to prevent the placement of the
 youth into foster care; and
   (iii) assess whether the youth would benefit from residential  respite
 services; and
   (iv) ASSESS WHETHER THE YOUTH IS A SEXUALLY EXPLOITED CHILD AS DEFINED
 IN SECTION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN-A OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES LAW AND, IF
 SO, WHETHER SUCH YOUTH SHOULD BE REFERRED TO A SAFE HOUSE; AND
   (V)  determine  whether  alternatives  to detention are appropriate to
 avoid remand of the youth to detention INCLUDING WHETHER THE  YOUTH  AND
 HIS  OR  HER  FAMILY  SHOULD  BE REFERRED TO AN AVAILABLE FAMILY SUPPORT
 CENTER; and
   [(v)] (VI) determine whether an assessment of the youth for  substance
 use  disorder  by  an  office of alcoholism and substance abuse services
 certified provider is necessary when a person seeking to file a petition
 alleges in such petition that the youth is suffering  from  a  substance
 use  disorder  which could make the youth a danger to himself or herself
 or others. Provided, however, that notwithstanding any  other  provision
 of law to the contrary, the designated lead agency shall not be required
 to pay for all or any portion of the costs of such assessment or for any
 substance use disorder or detoxification services, except in cases where
 medical  assistance  for needy persons may be used to pay for all or any
 portion of the costs of such assessment or services. The office of alco-
 holism and substance abuse services shall make a list of  its  certified
 providers available to the designated lead agency.
   (i)  providing,  at the first contact, information on the availability
 of or a referral to services in the geographic area where the youth  and
 his  or  her  family  are located that may be of benefit in avoiding the
 need to file a petition under this article; including the  availability,
 for  up  to  twenty-one  days,  of a residential respite program, if the
 youth and his or her parent or other person legally responsible for  his
 or  her care agree, and the availability of other non-residential crisis
 intervention programs such as A FAMILY  SUPPORT  CENTER,  family  crisis
 counseling  or alternative dispute resolution programs or an educational
 program as defined in section four hundred fifty-eight-l of  the  social
 services law.
   (f)  Efforts  to  prevent  the  filing  of a petition pursuant to this
 section may extend until the  designated  lead  agency  determines  that

 S. 2006                            129                           A. 3006
 
 there  is no substantial likelihood that the youth and his or her family
 will benefit from further attempts. Efforts  at  diversion  pursuant  to
 this  section  may  continue  after  the  filing of a petition where the
 designated  lead  agency determines that the youth and his or her family
 will benefit from further attempts to prevent  PLACEMENT  OF  the  youth

   §  739.  Release  or [detention] REFERRAL after filing of petition and
 prior to order of disposition. [(a)] After  the  filing  of  a  petition
 under  section  seven  hundred thirty-two of this part, the court in its
 discretion may release the respondent [or direct his or her  detention].
 If the respondent may be a sexually exploited child as defined in subdi-
 vision  one of section four hundred forty-seven-a of the social services
 law, the court may direct the respondent to an available short-term safe
 house [as an alternative to detention.  However,  the  court  shall  not
 direct detention unless it finds and states the facts and reasons for so
 finding  that  unless  the respondent is detained there is a substantial
 probability that the respondent will not appear in court on  the  return
 date and all available alternatives to detention have been exhausted.
   (b)  Unless  the respondent waives a determination that probable cause
 exists to believe that he  is  a  person  in  need  of  supervision,  no
 detention  under  this  section may last more than three days (i) unless
 the court finds, pursuant to the evidentiary standards applicable  to  a
 hearing  on  a  felony complaint in a criminal court, that such probable
 cause exists, or (ii) unless special circumstances exist, in which cases
 such detention may be extended not more than an  additional  three  days
 exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
   (c)  Upon  a  finding  of  facts and reasons which support a detention
 order pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the court shall  also
 determine and state in any order directing detention:
   (i)  whether  continuation  of the respondent in the respondent's home
 would be contrary to the best interests of the  respondent  based  upon,
 and limited to, the facts and circumstance available to the court at the
 time of the court's determination in accordance with this section; and
   (ii)  where appropriate, whether reasonable efforts were made prior to
 the date of the court order directing detention in accordance with  this
 section,  to prevent or eliminate the need for removal of the respondent
 from his or her home or, if the respondent had been removed from his  or
 her  home  prior to the court appearance pursuant to this section, where
 appropriate, whether reasonable efforts were made to  make  it  possible
 for the respondent to safely return home].
   §  91.  Section 741-a of the family court act, as amended by section 3

 follows:
   §  741-a.  Notice  and right to be heard. The foster parent caring for
 [the child] A SEXUALLY EXPLOITED CHILD PLACED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION
 SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX OF THIS ARTICLE or any  pre-adoptive  parent  or
 relative providing care for the respondent shall be provided with notice
 of  any  permanency  hearing held pursuant to this article by the social
 services official. Such foster parent, pre-adoptive parent  or  relative
 shall have the right to be heard at any such hearing; provided, however,
 no  such  foster  parent,  pre-adoptive  parent  or  relative  shall  be

 construed to be a party to the hearing  solely  on  the  basis  of  such
 notice  and  right to be heard. The failure of the foster parent, pre-a-
 doptive parent, or relative caring for the child to appear at a  perman-
 ency hearing shall constitute a waiver of the right to be heard and such
 failure  to appear shall not cause a delay of the permanency hearing nor
 shall such failure to appear be a ground for  the  invalidation  of  any
 order issued by the court pursuant to this section.
   § 92. Section 747 of the family court act is REPEALED.
   § 93. Section 748 of the family court act is REPEALED.

 follows:
   (b)  On  its  own  motion,  the  court  may adjourn the proceedings on
 conclusion of a fact-finding hearing or during a  dispositional  hearing
 to  enable  it  to  make  inquiry  into the surroundings, conditions and
 capacities of the respondent. An [adjournment on the court's motion  may
 not be for a period of more than ten days if the respondent is detained,
 in  which  case  not  more  than a total of two such adjournments may be
 granted in the absence of special circumstances. If  the  respondent  is
 not  detained,  an]  adjournment  may  be for a reasonable time, but the
 total number of adjourned days may not exceed two months.
   § 95. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of  section  754  of  the  family

 (ii) of paragraph (a) as amended by section 20 of part L of  chapter  56
 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
   (a)  The  order  shall  state  the  court's reasons for the particular
 disposition. If the court places the child in  accordance  with  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-six  of  this  part,  the court in its order shall
 determine: (i) whether continuation in the child's home would be contra-
 ry to the best interest of the child and where appropriate, that reason-
 able efforts were made prior to the date of  the  dispositional  hearing
 held  pursuant  to  this  article  to  prevent or eliminate the need for
 removal of the child from his or her home and, if the child was  removed
 from  his  or  her  home  prior  to  the date of such hearing, that such
 removal was in the child's best interest and, where appropriate, reason-
 able efforts were made to make it possible for the child to return safe-
 ly home. If the court determines that reasonable efforts to  prevent  or
 eliminate  the need for removal of the child from the home were not made
 but that the lack of such efforts  was  appropriate  under  the  circum-
 stances,  the  court order shall include such a finding; and (ii) in the
 case of a child who has attained the age of fourteen, the services need-
 ed, if any, to assist the child to make the transition from foster  care
 to  independent  living. [Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed
 to modify the standards for directing detention  set  forth  in  section
 seven hundred thirty-nine of this article.]
   §  96.  Section 756 of the family court act, as amended by chapter 920
 of the laws of 1982, paragraph (i) of  subdivision  (a)  as  amended  by
 chapter 309 of the laws of 1996, the opening paragraph of paragraph (ii)
 of  subdivision  (a) as amended by section 11 of part G of chapter 58 of

 1999, and subdivision (c) as amended by section 10 of part E of  chapter
 57 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read as follows:
   §  756.  Placement.  (a)  (i)  For  purposes  of section seven hundred
 fifty-four, the court may place the child in its  own  home  or  in  the
 custody  of  a  suitable relative or other suitable private person [or a
 commissioner of social services], subject to the orders of the court.

 S. 2006                            131                           A. 3006

   (ii) [Where the child is placed] IF THE COURT FINDS THAT THE  RESPOND-
 ENT  IS  A  SEXUALLY  EXPLOITED  CHILD  AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF
 SECTION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN-A OF THE SOCIAL SERVICES LAW, THE COURT
 MAY PLACE THE CHILD with the commissioner of the local  social  services
 district[, the court] AND may direct the commissioner to place the child
 with  an  authorized agency or class of authorized agencies, including[,
 if the court finds that the respondent is a sexually exploited child  as
 defined  in subdivision one of section four hundred forty-seven-a of the
 social services law,] an available  long-term  safe  house.  Unless  the
 dispositional  order  provides  otherwise,  the court so directing shall
 include one of the following alternatives to apply in the event that the
 commissioner is unable to so place the child:
   (1) the commissioner shall apply to the court for an  order  to  stay,
 modify,  set  aside, or vacate such directive pursuant to the provisions
 of section seven hundred sixty-two or seven hundred sixty-three; or
   (2) the commissioner shall return the child to the family court for  a
 new dispositional hearing and order.
   (b)  Placements  under  this  section  may be for an initial period of
 twelve months. The court may extend  a  placement  pursuant  to  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-six-a.  In its discretion, the court may recommend
 restitution or require services for  public  good  pursuant  to  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-eight-a in conjunction with an order of placement.
 For the purposes of calculating the initial period  of  placement,  such
 placement  shall  be  deemed to have commenced sixty days after the date
 the child was removed from his  or  her  home  in  accordance  with  the
 provisions  of  this  article.  [If the respondent has been in detention
 pending disposition, the initial period of placement ordered under  this
 section  shall  be  credited  with  and diminished by the amount of time
 spent by the respondent in detention prior to the  commencement  of  the
 placement  unless  the court finds that all or part of such credit would
 not serve the best interests of the respondent.
   (c) A placement pursuant to this  section  with  the  commissioner  of
 social services shall not be directed in any detention facility, but the
 court  may  direct  detention pending transfer to a placement authorized
 and ordered under this section for no more than than fifteen days  after
 such  order  of  placement  is  made. Such direction shall be subject to
 extension pursuant to subdivision three of section three  hundred  nine-
 ty-eight  of  the social services law, upon written documentation to the
 office of children and family services that the  youth  is  in  need  of
 specialized  treatment  or  placement  and  the  diligent efforts by the
 commissioner of social services to locate an appropriate placement.]
   § 97. Section 758-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter  73
 of  the  laws of 1979, subdivision 1 as amended by chapter 4 of the laws
 of 1987, paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 as amended by chapter 575 of the
 laws of 2007, subdivision 2 as amended by chapter 309  of  the  laws  of
 1996, and subdivision 3 as separately amended by chapter 568 of the laws
 of 1979, is amended to read as follows:
   § 758-a. Restitution. 1. In cases involving acts of [infants] CHILDREN
 over  [ten]  TWELVE  and  less than [sixteen] EIGHTEEN years of age, the
 court may
   (a) recommend as a condition of placement, or order as a condition  of
 probation or suspended judgment, restitution in an amount representing a
 fair  and  reasonable  cost to replace the property or repair the damage
 caused by the [infant] CHILD,  not,  however,  to  exceed  one  thousand
 dollars.  [In  the case of a placement, the court may recommend that the
 infant pay out of his or  her  own  funds  or  earnings  the  amount  of

 S. 2006                            132                           A. 3006

 replacement  or  damage, either in a lump sum or in periodic payments in
 amounts set by the agency with which he is placed, and in  the  case  of
 probation  or  suspended  judgment,  the] THE court may require that the
 [infant] CHILD pay out of his or her own funds or earnings the amount of
 replacement  or  damage, either in a lump sum or in periodic payments in
 amounts set by the court; and/or
   (b) order as a condition of placement, probation, or  suspended  judg-
 ment,  services  for  the  public  good including in the case of a crime
 involving willful, malicious, or unlawful damage or destruction to  real
 or personal property maintained as a cemetery plot, grave, burial place,
 or  other  place of interment of human remains, services for the mainte-
 nance and repair thereof, taking into consideration the age and physical
 condition of the [infant] CHILD.
   2. [If the court recommends restitution or requires services  for  the
 public  good  in  conjunction  with  an  order  of placement pursuant to
 section seven hundred fifty-six, the placement shall be made only to  an
 authorized agency which has adopted rules and regulations for the super-
 vision  of  such a program, which rules and regulations shall be subject
 to the approval of the state department of social services.  Such  rules
 and  regulations  shall  include,  but  not be limited to provisions (i)
 assuring that the conditions of work, including wages, meet  the  stand-
 ards  therefor  prescribed  pursuant  to  the  labor law; (ii) affording
 coverage to the child under the workers' compensation law as an employee
 of such agency, department or institution; (iii) assuring that the enti-
 ty receiving such services shall not utilize the  same  to  replace  its
 regular  employees; and (iv) providing for reports to the court not less
 frequently than every six months, unless the order provides otherwise.
   3.] If the court requires restitution or services for the public  good
 [as  a  condition  of probation or suspended judgment], it shall provide
 that an agency or person supervise the restitution or services and  that
 such agency or person report to the court not less frequently than every
 six months, unless the order provides otherwise. Upon the written notice
 sent  by  a  school  district to the court and the appropriate probation
 department or agency which submits probation recommendations or  reports
 to  the  court,  the  court  may provide that such school district shall
 supervise the performance of services for the public good.
   [4.] 3. The court, upon receipt of the reports provided for in  subdi-
 vision  two  [or  three]  of  this section may, on its own motion or the
 motion of any party or the agency, hold a hearing to  determine  whether
 the [placement] CONDITION should be altered or modified.

 be  conditionally  released,  and  suitable  care  cannot  otherwise  be
 secured, the district may conditionally release such juvenile delinquent
 to the care of any other suitable person; provided that where such suit-
 able  person  has  no legal relationship with the juvenile, the district
 shall advise such person of the  procedures  for  obtaining  custody  or
 guardianship of the juvenile.
   (ii)  If  a  conditionally  released juvenile delinquent is subject to
 article sixty-five of the education law or elects to participate  in  an
 educational program leading to a high school diploma, he or she shall be
 enrolled  in  a  school  or educational program leading to a high school
 diploma following release, or, if such release occurs during the  summer
 recess,  upon  the  commencement  of  the  next school term. If a condi-
 tionally released juvenile delinquent is not subject to  article  sixty-
 five  of  the  education  law,  and  does not elect to participate in an
 educational program leading to a high school  diploma,  steps  shall  be
 taken,  to the extent possible, to facilitate his or her gainful employ-
 ment or enrollment in a vocational program following release.
   [(b)] (E) When a juvenile delinquent placed with the  social  services
 district  is  absent  from placement without consent, such absence shall
 interrupt the calculation of time for his or her placement. Such  inter-
 ruption  shall  continue  until  such juvenile delinquent returns to the
 facility or authorized agency in which he or she was  placed.  Provided,
 however,  that  any  time spent by a juvenile delinquent in custody from
 the date of absence to the date  placement  resumes  shall  be  credited
 against the time of such placement provided that such custody:
   (1) was due to an arrest or surrender based upon the absence; or
   (2)  arose from an arrest or surrender on another charge which did not
 culminate in a conviction, adjudication or adjustment.
   [(c)] (F) In addition to the other requirements of  this  section,  no
 juvenile  delinquent placed with a social services district operating an
 approved juvenile justice services close to home initiative pursuant  to
 section  four  hundred  four  of  this chapter pursuant to a restrictive
 placement under the family court act shall be released  except  pursuant
 to section 353.5 of the family court act.
   11.  In  the  case  of a child who is adjudicated [a person in need of
 supervision or] a juvenile delinquent and is placed by the family  court
 with the [division for youth] OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES and
 who is placed by [the division for youth] SUCH OFFICE with an authorized
 agency  pursuant to court order, the social services official shall make
 expenditures in accordance with the regulations of  the  department  for
 the care and maintenance of such child during the term of such placement
 subject  to  state  reimbursement pursuant to SECTION ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-
 THREE-K OF this [title, or article nineteen-G of the  executive  law  in

   12.  A  social  services  official shall be permitted to place persons
 adjudicated [in need of supervision or] delinquent[, and alleged persons
 to be in need of supervision] in detention pending transfer to a  place-
 ment, in the same foster care facilities as are providing care to desti-
 tute,  neglected, abused or abandoned children. Such foster care facili-
 ties shall not provide care to a youth in the care of a social  services
 official as a convicted juvenile offender.

 submitted  and  approved pursuant to section four hundred nine-d of this
 [chapter] ARTICLE, upon a finding by such official that [(i)] the  child
 will  be  placed,  returned  to  or continued in foster care unless such
 services are provided and that it  is  reasonable  to  believe  that  by
 providing  such  services  the  child  will be able to remain with or be
 returned to his or her family, and for a former foster care youth  under
 the  age of twenty-one who was previously placed in the care and custody
 or custody and guardianship of the local commissioner of social services
 or other officer, board or department authorized to receive children  as
 public  charges where it is reasonable to believe that by providing such
 services the former foster care youth will avoid a return to foster care

 the  family  court act, or has been determined by the assessment service

 S. 2006--A                         20                         A. 3006--A
 
   [a. Foundation formula aid. Foundation formula  aid  shall  equal  the
 remainder  when  the  expected  minimum local contribution is subtracted
 from the product of the foundation amount, the regional cost index,  and
 the  pupil  need  index,  or: (foundation amount x regional cost index x
 pupil need index)- expected minimum local contribution.
   (1)  The foundation amount shall reflect the average per pupil cost of
 general education instruction in successful school districts, as  deter-
 mined  by  a  statistical analysis of the costs of special education and
 general education in successful  school  districts,  provided  that  the
 foundation  amount  shall be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage
 increase in the consumer price index as computed pursuant to section two
 thousand twenty-two of this chapter, provided that for the two  thousand
 eight--two  thousand  nine  school year, for the purpose of such adjust-
 ment, the percentage increase in  the  consumer  price  index  shall  be
 deemed  to  be two and nine-tenths percent (0.029), and provided further
 that the foundation amount for  the  two  thousand  seven--two  thousand
 eight  school  year  shall  be  five  thousand  two  hundred fifty-eight
 dollars, and provided further that for the two thousand seven--two thou-
 sand eight through two thousand sixteen--two thousand  seventeen  school
 years,  the  foundation amount shall be further adjusted by the phase-in
 foundation percent established pursuant to paragraph b of this  subdivi-
 sion.
   (2)  The regional cost index shall reflect an analysis of labor market
 costs based on median salaries in professional occupations that  require
 similar  credentials  to  those of positions in the education field, but
 not including those occupations in the education  field,  provided  that
 the regional cost indices for the two thousand seven--two thousand eight
 school year and thereafter shall be as follows:
           Labor Force Region  Index
           Capital District    1.124
           Southern Tier       1.045
           Western New York    1.091
           Hudson Valley       1.314
           Long Island/NYC     1.425
           Finger Lakes        1.141
           Central New York    1.103
           Mohawk Valley       1.000
           North Country       1.000
   (3)  The pupil need index shall equal the sum of one plus the extraor-
 dinary needs percent, provided, however, that the pupil need index shall
 not be less than one nor more than two. The extraordinary needs  percent
 shall  be  calculated pursuant to paragraph w of subdivision one of this
 section.
   (4) The expected minimum local contribution shall equal the lesser  of
 (i)  the product of (A) the quotient arrived at when the selected actual
 valuation is divided by total wealth foundation pupil units,  multiplied
 by  (B)  the  product  of the local tax factor, multiplied by the income
 wealth index, or (ii) the product of (A) the product of  the  foundation
 amount, the regional cost index, and the pupil need index, multiplied by
 (B)  the  positive  difference,  if  any, of one minus the state sharing
 ratio for total foundation aid. The local tax  factor  shall  be  estab-
 lished by May first of each year by determining the product, computed to
 four  decimal  places  without rounding, of ninety percent multiplied by
 the quotient of the sum of the statewide average tax rate as computed by
 the commissioner for the current year in accordance with the  provisions
 of  paragraph  e of subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred nine-e

 S. 2006--A                         21                         A. 3006--A

 of this part plus the statewide average tax rate computed by the commis-
 sioner for the base year in accordance with  such  provisions  plus  the
 statewide  average  tax  rate  computed by the commissioner for the year
 prior  to  the  base year in accordance with such provisions, divided by
 three, provided however that for the two  thousand  seven--two  thousand
 eight  school  year,  such local tax factor shall be sixteen thousandths
 (0.016), and provided further that for the two thousand eight--two thou-
 sand nine school year, such  local  tax  factor  shall  be  one  hundred
 fifty-four  ten  thousandths  (0.0154). The income wealth index shall be
 calculated pursuant to paragraph d of subdivision three of this section,
 provided, however, that for the purposes of computing the expected mini-
 mum local contribution the income wealth index shall not  be  less  than
 sixty-five percent (0.65) and shall not be more than two hundred percent
 (2.0)  and  provided  however that such income wealth index shall not be
 more than ninety-five percent (0.95) for  the  two  thousand  eight--two
 thousand  nine school year, and provided further that such income wealth
 index shall not be less than zero for  the  two  thousand  thirteen--two
 thousand  fourteen  school  year. The selected actual valuation shall be
 calculated pursuant to paragraph c of subdivision one of  this  section.
 Total  wealth  foundation  pupil  units  shall be calculated pursuant to
 paragraph h of subdivision two of this section.
   b. Phase-in foundation increase. (1) The phase-in foundation  increase
 shall  equal  the  product  of  the  phase-in foundation increase factor
 multiplied by the positive difference, if any, of (i) the product of the
 total aidable  foundation  pupil  units  multiplied  by  the  district's
 selected foundation aid less (ii) the total foundation aid base computed
 pursuant to paragraph j of subdivision one of this section.
   (2)  (i)  Phase-in foundation percent. The phase-in foundation percent
 shall equal one hundred thirteen and  fourteen  one  hundredths  percent

 fifteen school year,  and  one  hundred  two  and  five  tenths  percent
 (1.0250) for the two thousand fifteen--two thousand sixteen school year.
   (ii)  Phase-in  foundation  increase  factor.  For  the  two  thousand
 eleven--two  thousand  twelve  school  year,  the  phase-in   foundation
 increase  factor  shall  equal thirty-seven and one-half percent (0.375)
 and the phase-in due minimum percent shall equal nineteen and  forty-one
 hundredths  percent  (0.1941), for the two thousand twelve--two thousand
 thirteen school year the phase-in foundation increase factor shall equal
 one and seven-tenths percent (0.017), for the two thousand thirteen--two
 thousand fourteen school year the phase-in  foundation  increase  factor
 shall equal (1) for a city school district in a city having a population
 of  one  million  or  more,  five  and  twenty-three  hundredths percent
 (0.0523) or (2) for all other school districts zero percent, for the two
 thousand fourteen--two thousand fifteen school year the phase-in founda-
 tion increase factor shall equal (1) for a city  school  district  of  a
 city  having  a  population  of one million or more, four and thirty-two
 hundredths percent (0.0432) or (2) for a school district  other  than  a
 city  school  district  having  a  population of one million or more for
 which (A) the quotient of the  positive  difference  of  the  foundation
 formula aid minus the foundation aid base computed pursuant to paragraph
 j  of  subdivision one of this section divided by the foundation formula

 that  to which it is entitled, the commissioner may, by an order, direct
 such moneys to be paid back to the state to be credited to  the  general
 fund  local  assistance  account  for  state  aid to the schools, or may
 deduct such amount from the  next  apportionment  to  be  made  to  said
 district,  provided, however, that, upon notification of excess payments
 of aid for which a recovery must be made by the state through  deduction
 of  future  aid payments, a school district may request that such excess

 ing  school year and the positive remainder of the district's unreserved
 fund balance at the close of the preceding school year less the  product

 or one-third of such excess payments, and the remaining amount  of  such
 excess  payments  shall be recovered in the third year. Provided further

 balance  of such excess payments, and the remaining scheduled deductions
 of such excess payments pursuant to this paragraph shall be  reduced  by
 the  commissioner  to reflect the amount so recovered. [The commissioner
 shall certify no payment to a school district based on a claim submitted

 payment  was first to be made.  For claims for which payment is first to
 be made in the nineteen hundred  ninety-six--ninety-seven  school  year,
 the  commissioner shall certify no payment to a school district based on
 a claim submitted later than two years after the close  of  such  school
 year.] For claims for which payment is first to be made [in the nineteen
 hundred  ninety-seven--ninety-eight] PRIOR TO THE TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN--

 until  June thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-six, the commissioner may
 grant a waiver from the  provisions  of  this  section  for  any  school
 district  if  it  is  in  the best educational interests of the district

 and a certification that the board will conduct a  study  of  attendance
 problems  at  the secondary level and will implement a corrective action
 plan to increase the rate of attendance of students in such  classes  to
 at  least  the  rate for students attending regular education classes in
 secondary schools of the district. Such corrective action plan shall  be
 submitted  for  approval by the commissioner by a date during the school
 year in which such board increases class sizes as provided  pursuant  to
 this  subdivision  to  be  prescribed by the commissioner. Upon at least
 thirty days notice to the board of education, after  conclusion  of  the
 school year in which such board increases class sizes as provided pursu-
 ant  to this subdivision, the commissioner shall be authorized to termi-
 nate such authorization upon a finding that  the  board  has  failed  to
 develop or implement an approved corrective action plan.

 tuition except for differential tuition rates based on state  residency.
 Provided, however, that the trustees may authorize the presidents of the
 colleges of technology and the colleges of agriculture and technology to
 set  differing  rates  of  tuition for each of the colleges for students
 enrolled in degree-granting programs leading to an associate degree  and

 exceed the tuition rate charged to students who  are  enrolled  in  like
 degree  programs  or degree-granting undergraduate programs leading to a
 baccalaureate degree at other state-operated institutions of  the  state
 university  of  New  York.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this

 academic year, provided however that commencing with  the  two  thousand
 eleven--two thousand twelve academic year [and each year thereafter] AND
 ENDING IN THE TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN--TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ACADEMIC YEAR
 if  the  annual resident undergraduate rate of tuition would exceed five
 thousand dollars, then a tuition credit for each  eligible  student,  as
 determined  and  calculated  by  the  New  York  state  higher education
 services corporation pursuant to section six  hundred  eighty-nine-a  of

 tuition credit until  the  tuition  credit  is  calculated  and  applied
 against  the  tuition charged for the corresponding semester, quarter or
 term.

 SPONDING  SEMESTER, QUARTER OR TERM.  PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT THE REVENUE
 RESULTING FROM AN INCREASE IN THE RATE OF TUITION SHALL BE ALLOCATED  TO

 net taxable income is eighty thousand dollars or  more  subject  to  the
 approval  of  a NY-SUNY 2020 proposal by the governor and the chancellor

 construed  as  to  authorize  that  students whose net taxable income is
 eighty thousand dollars or more  are  eligible  for  tuition  assistance
 program awards pursuant to section six hundred sixty-seven of this chap-
 ter.

 college  tuition  increase  and the justification for such increase. The
 justification provided by the community college for such increase  shall
 include  a  detailed  analysis of ongoing operating costs, capital, debt
 service expenditures, and all revenues. The trustees shall not impose  a
 differential  tuition  charge  based  upon  need or income. All students

 OR SEVENTEEN, FOR WHICH A YOUTH AGE FIFTEEN OR YOUNGER IS NOT CRIMINALLY
 RESPONSIBLE,  TO  THE FAMILY COURT PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE
 SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE IF, AFTER CONSIDERATION  OF  THE
 FACTORS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH (C) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, THE COURT DETER-
 MINES  THAT  TO  DO  SO  WOULD BE IN THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE. PROVIDED,
 HOWEVER, THAT THE COURT SHALL FIND THAT  SUCH  REMOVAL  IS  NOT  IN  THE
 INTERESTS OF JUSTICE IF THE YOUTH PLAYED A PRIMARY ROLE IN COMMISSION OF
 THE CRIME OR AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE
 YOUTH'S USE OF A WEAPON, ARE PRESENT.
   (B)  AT  THE  REQUEST  OF  THE  DISTRICT ATTORNEY, ORDER REMOVAL OF AN
 ACTION AGAINST A JUVENILE OFFENDER, OTHER  THAN  AN  ACTION  SUBJECT  TO
 PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF THIS SUBDIVISION, TO THE FAMILY COURT PURSUANT TO THE
 PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE OF THIS TITLE  IF,  UPON
 CONSIDERATION  OF THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH (C) OF THIS SUBDI-
 VISION, IT IS DETERMINED THAT TO DO SO WOULD  BE  IN  THE  INTERESTS  OF
 JUSTICE.  WHERE,  HOWEVER,  THE  FELONY  COMPLAINT  CHARGES THE JUVENILE
 OFFENDER CHARGED WITH MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE AS DEFINED IN  SECTION
 125.25  OF THE PENAL LAW; RAPE IN THE FIRST DEGREE, AS DEFINED IN SUBDI-
 VISION ONE OF SECTION 130.35 OF THE PENAL LAW; CRIMINAL  SEXUAL  ACT  IN
 THE FIRST DEGREE, AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 130.50 OF THE

 NAL SEXUAL ACT IN THE FIRST DEGREE, AS DEFINED  IN  SUBDIVISION  ONE  OF
 SECTION  130.50 OF THE PENAL LAW; OR AN ARMED FELONY AS DEFINED IN PARA-
 GRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION FORTY-ONE OF SECTION 1.20 OF  THIS  CHAPTER,  A
 DETERMINATION  THAT SUCH ACTION BE REMOVED TO THE FAMILY COURT SHALL, IN
 ADDITION, BE BASED UPON A FINDING  OF  ONE  OR  MORE  OF  THE  FOLLOWING
 FACTORS: (I) MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT BEAR DIRECTLY UPON THE MANNER
 IN  WHICH  THE CRIME WAS COMMITTED; (II) WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT THE
 SOLE PARTICIPANT IN THE CRIME, THE DEFENDANT'S PARTICIPATION  WAS  RELA-
 TIVELY  MINOR  ALTHOUGH  NOT  SO MINOR AS TO CONSTITUTE A DEFENSE TO THE
 PROSECUTION; OR (III) POSSIBLE DEFICIENCIES IN THE PROOF OF THE CRIME.
   (C) IN MAKING ITS DETERMINATION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (A)  OR  (B)  OF
 THIS  SUBDIVISION  THE  COURT  SHALL,  TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, EXAMINE
 INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, THE FOLLOWING:
   (I) THE SERIOUSNESS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE OFFENSE;

 S. 2006--A                         80                         A. 3006--A
 
   (II) THE EXTENT OF HARM CAUSED BY THE OFFENSE;
   (III)  THE  EVIDENCE  OF  GUILT, WHETHER ADMISSIBLE OR INADMISSIBLE AT
 TRIAL;

 SAFETY OR WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY;
   (VII) THE IMPACT OF A REMOVAL OF THE CASE TO THE FAMILY COURT UPON THE
 CONFIDENCE OF THE PUBLIC IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM;
   (VIII) WHERE THE COURT DEEMS  IT  APPROPRIATE,  THE  ATTITUDE  OF  THE
 COMPLAINANT OR VICTIM WITH RESPECT TO THE MOTION; AND
   (IX)  ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACT INDICATING THAT A JUDGMENT OF CONVICTION
 IN THE CRIMINAL COURT WOULD SERVE NO USEFUL PURPOSE.
   (D) FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING A DETERMINATION WHETHER  TO  REMOVE  THE
 CASE TO FAMILY COURT PURSUANT TO THIS SUBDIVISION, ANY EVIDENCE WHICH IS
 NOT  LEGALLY  PRIVILEGED  MAY BE INTRODUCED. IF THE DEFENDANT TESTIFIES,
 HIS OR HER TESTIMONY MAY NOT BE INTRODUCED AGAINST HIM  OR  HER  IN  ANY
 FUTURE PROCEEDING, EXCEPT TO IMPEACH HIS OR HER TESTIMONY AT SUCH FUTURE
 PROCEEDING AS INCONSISTENT PRIOR TESTIMONY.
   (E)  THIS  SECTION  SHALL  NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE POWERS OF THE
 GRAND JURY.
   5. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SUBDIVISION TWO, THREE,  OR  FOUR
 OF  THIS SECTION, IF A CURRENTLY UNDETERMINED FELONY COMPLAINT AGAINST A
 JUVENILE OFFENDER IS PENDING IN THE YOUTH PART, AND  THE  DEFENDANT  HAS
 NOT  WAIVED  A HEARING PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION TWO OF THIS SECTION AND A
 HEARING PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE HAS NOT COMMENCED,  THE  DEFENDANT
 MAY  MOVE  IN  THE YOUTH PART, TO REMOVE THE ACTION TO FAMILY COURT. THE

 THE EXCEPTION PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF  SUBDIVISION  ONE  OF  SUCH
 SECTION  210.43  SHALL  NOT  APPLY WHEN THERE IS NOT REASONABLE CAUSE TO
 BELIEVE THAT THE JUVENILE OFFENDER COMMITTED ONE OR MORE OF  THE  CRIMES
 ENUMERATED  IN SUCH PARAGRAPH, AND IN SUCH EVENT THE PROVISIONS OF PARA-
 GRAPH (A) OF SUCH PARAGRAPH SHALL APPLY.

 or  the filer of a simplified information, or has arrested the defendant
 or brought him before the local criminal court  OR  YOUTH  PART  OF  THE
 SUPERIOR  COURT on behalf of an arresting person pursuant to subdivision
 one of section 140.20, such officer or his  agency  shall  transmit  the

 In all other cases, the clerk of the court in  which  the  defendant  is
 arraigned shall so transmit it.

 amended  by  chapter  410  of the laws of 1979 and subparagraph (iii) as
 amended by chapter 264 of the laws of  2003,  are  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   (i)  If  the  indictment  charges  a  person fourteen [or], fifteen OR
 SIXTEEN, OR COMMENCING JANUARY FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY,  SEVENTEEN
 years  old  with  the  crime  of murder in the second degree any plea of
 guilty entered pursuant to subdivision three or four must be a  plea  of
 guilty of a crime for which the defendant is criminally responsible;
   (iii)  Where  the  indictment  does  not  charge  a crime specified in
 subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, the district attorney may  recommend
 removal  of the action to the family court. Upon making such recommenda-
 tion the district attorney shall submit a subscribed memorandum  setting
 forth:  (1) a recommendation that the interests of justice would best be
 served by removal of the action to the family  court;  and  (2)  if  the
 indictment  charges  a thirteen year old with the crime of murder in the
 second degree, or a fourteen [or],  fifteen  OR  SIXTEEN  YEAR  OLD,  OR

 of  section  1.20 of this chapter specific factors, one or more of which
 reasonably supports the recommendation, showing, (i) mitigating  circum-
 stances  that  bear  directly  upon  the  manner  in which the crime was
 committed,  or  (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
 the crime, that  the  defendant's  participation  was  relatively  minor
 although  not so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution, or
 (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime,  or  (iv)  where  the
 juvenile  offender  has  no previous adjudications of having committed a
 designated felony act, as defined in subdivision eight of section  301.2
 of  the  family  court act, regardless of the age of the offender at the
 time of commission of the act, that the criminal act was not part  of  a
 pattern  of  criminal behavior and, in view of the history of the offen-
 der, is not likely to be repeated.
   § 32. Subdivision 2 of section 410.40 of the criminal  procedure  law,
 as  amended  by  chapter  652 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as
 follows:
   2. Warrant. (A) Where the  probation  officer  has  requested  that  a
 probation  warrant  be issued, the court shall, within seventy-two hours
 of its receipt of the request, issue or deny the  warrant  or  take  any
 other lawful action including issuance of a notice to appear pursuant to
 subdivision  one  of this section. If at any time during the period of a
 sentence of probation or of conditional discharge the court has  reason-
 able  grounds  to believe that the defendant has violated a condition of
 the sentence, the court may issue a warrant to a police officer or to an
 appropriate peace officer directing him or her  to  take  the  defendant
 into  custody  and bring the defendant before the court without unneces-
 sary delay; provided, however, if the court  in  which  the  warrant  is
 returnable is a superior court, and such court is not available, and the
 warrant  is addressed to a police officer or appropriate probation offi-
 cer certified as a peace officer,  such  executing  officer  may  UNLESS
 OTHERWISE  SPECIFIED  UNDER PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, bring the
 defendant to the local correctional facility of the county in which such
 court sits, to be detained there until not later than  the  commencement
 of the next session of such court occurring on the next business day; or
 if  the  court  in  which  the warrant is returnable is a local criminal
 court, and such court is not available, and the warrant is addressed  to
 a  police  officer or appropriate probation officer certified as a peace
 officer, such executing officer must without unnecessary delay bring the
 defendant before an alternate  local  criminal  court,  as  provided  in
 subdivision five of section 120.90 of this chapter. A court which issues
 such  a  warrant  may  attach  thereto  a  summary  of the basis for the
 warrant. In any case where a defendant  arrested  upon  the  warrant  is
 brought  before a local criminal court other than the court in which the
 warrant is returnable, such local criminal  court  shall  consider  such
 summary before issuing a securing order with respect to the defendant.
   (B)  IF  THE  COURT  IN  WHICH THE WARRANT IS RETURNABLE IS A SUPERIOR
 COURT, AND SUCH COURT IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THE WARRANT IS ADDRESSED  TO
 A  POLICE  OFFICER OR APPROPRIATE PROBATION OFFICER CERTIFIED AS A PEACE
 OFFICER, SUCH EXECUTING OFFICER SHALL,  WHERE  A  DEFENDANT  IS  SIXTEEN
 YEARS  OF AGE OR YOUNGER WHO ALLEGEDLY COMMITS AN OFFENSE OR A VIOLATION
 OF HIS OR HER PROBATION OR CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE IMPOSED FOR AN  OFFENSE
 ON  OR  AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN, OR WHERE A DEFENDANT
 IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER WHO ALLEGEDLY COMMITS AN OFFENSE OR
 A VIOLATION OF HIS OR HER PROBATION OR CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE IMPOSED FOR
 AN OFFENSE ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY,  BRING  THE
 DEFENDANT  TO  A JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY, TO BE DETAINED THERE UNTIL

 NOT LATER THAN THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE NEXT SESSION OF SUCH COURT OCCUR-
 RING ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY.
   §  33.  Section  410.60  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by
 chapter 652 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
 § 410.60 Appearance before court.
   (A) A person who has been  taken  into  custody  pursuant  to  section
 410.40  or [section] 410.50 of this article for violation of a condition
 of a sentence of probation or a sentence of conditional  discharge  must
 forthwith be brought before the court that imposed the sentence. Where a
 violation of probation petition and report has been filed and the person
 has  not  been  taken  into  custody  nor  has a warrant been issued, an
 initial court appearance shall occur within ten  business  days  of  the
 court's  issuance  of  a  notice  to appear. If the court has reasonable
 cause to believe that such  person  has  violated  a  condition  of  the
 sentence,  it may commit him OR HER to the custody of the sheriff or fix
 bail or release such person on his OR HER own  recognizance  for  future
 appearance  at a hearing to be held in accordance with section 410.70 of
 this article. If the court does not have  reasonable  cause  to  believe
 that  such  person  has  violated  a  condition of the sentence, it must
 direct that he OR SHE be released.
   (B) A JUVENILE OFFENDER WHO HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO  CUSTODY  PURSUANT  TO
 SECTION 410.40 OR 410.50 OF THIS ARTICLE FOR VIOLATION OF A CONDITION OF
 A  SENTENCE  OF  PROBATION  OR  A SENTENCE OF CONDITIONAL DISCHARGE MUST
 FORTHWITH BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE COURT THAT IMPOSED THE SENTENCE.   WHERE
 A  VIOLATION  OF  PROBATION  PETITION  AND REPORT HAS BEEN FILED AND THE
 PERSON HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY NOR HAS A WARRANT BEEN ISSUED, AN
 INITIAL COURT APPEARANCE SHALL OCCUR WITHIN TEN  BUSINESS  DAYS  OF  THE
 COURT'S  ISSUANCE  OF  A  NOTICE  TO APPEAR. IF THE COURT HAS REASONABLE
 CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH  PERSON  HAS  VIOLATED  A  CONDITION  OF  THE
 SENTENCE,  IT MAY COMMIT HIM OR HER TO THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF OR FIX
 BAIL OR RELEASE SUCH PERSON ON HIS OR HER OWN  RECOGNIZANCE  FOR  FUTURE
 APPEARANCE  AT A HEARING TO BE HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 410.70 OF
 THIS ARTICLE. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AUTHORIZE A  JUVE-
 NILE  TO  BE  DETAINED  FOR  A  VIOLATION  OF A CONDITION THAT WOULD NOT
 CONSTITUTE A CRIME IF COMMITTED BY AN ADULT UNLESS THE COURT  DETERMINES
 (I)  THAT THE JUVENILE POSES A SPECIFIC IMMINENT THREAT TO PUBLIC SAFETY
 AND STATES THE REASONS FOR THE FINDING ON THE RECORD OR (II)  THE  JUVE-
 NILE  IS  ON PROBATION FOR AN ACT THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLENT FELONY
 AS DEFINED IN SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW IF COMMITTED  BY  AN  ADULT
 AND  THE  USE OF GRADUATED SANCTIONS HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED WITHOUT SUCCESS.
 IF THE COURT DOES NOT HAVE REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH  PERSON
 HAS  VIOLATED A CONDITION OF THE SENTENCE, IT MUST DIRECT THAT THE JUVE-
 NILE BE RELEASED.
   § 34. Subdivision 5 of section 410.70 of the criminal  procedure  law,
 as  amended  by  chapter  17  of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as
 follows:
   5. Revocation; modification; continuation. (A) At  the  conclusion  of
 the  hearing  the  court  may revoke, continue or modify the sentence of
 probation  or  conditional  discharge.  Where  the  court  revokes   the
 sentence, it must impose sentence as specified in subdivisions three and
 four  of  section  60.01  of the penal law. Where the court continues or
 modifies the sentence, it must vacate the declaration of delinquency and
 direct that the defendant be  released.  If  the  alleged  violation  is
 sustained  and  the  court  continues  or  modifies the sentence, it may
 extend the sentence up to the period of interruption specified in subdi-
 vision two of section 65.15 of the penal law,  but  any  time  spent  in

 S. 2006--A                         93                         A. 3006--A
 
 custody  in  any correctional institution OR JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY
 pursuant to section 410.40 OR 410.60 of this article shall  be  credited
 against  the  term of the sentence.  Provided further, where the alleged
 violation is sustained and the court continues or modifies the sentence,
 the  court  may  also extend the remaining period of probation up to the
 maximum term authorized by section 65.00 of  the  penal  law.  Provided,
 however,  a  defendant shall receive credit for the time during which he
 or she was supervised under the original probation sentence prior to any
 declaration of delinquency and for any time spent in custody pursuant to
 this article for an alleged violation of probation.
   (B) NOTWITHSTANDING PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, NOTHING IN THIS
 SECTION SHALL AUTHORIZE THE PLACEMENT OF A JUVENILE FOR A VIOLATION OF A
 CONDITION THAT WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A CRIME IF  COMMITTED  BY  AN  ADULT
 UNLESS THE COURT DETERMINES (I) THAT THE JUVENILE POSES A SPECIFIC IMMI-
 NENT  THREAT  TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND STATES THE REASONS FOR THE FINDING ON
 THE RECORD OR (II) THE JUVENILE IS ON PROBATION FOR AN  ACT  THAT  WOULD
 CONSTITUTE A VIOLENT FELONY AS DEFINED IN SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW
 IF  COMMITTED  BY  AN  ADULT AND THE USE OF GRADUATED SANCTIONS HAS BEEN
 EXHAUSTED WITHOUT SUCCESS.

 SAFETY AND STATES THE REASONS FOR SUCH DETERMINATION IN THE COURT ORDER.

 initial  period not to exceed one year from the date of such order. Such

 the application to the respondent, the counsel representing the respond-
 ent and the mental hygiene legal service if the respondent is at a resi-
 dential  facility.  Upon  receipt  of  such  application, the court must

 sion of a hearing conducted pursuant  to  this  subdivision,  the  court

 returned  to  the  family court for further proceedings pursuant to this
 article. If the court is satisfied that the respondent continues  to  be

   (i) that there is no substantial likelihood that the youth and his  or
 her family will continue to benefit from diversion services and that all
 available alternatives to detention have been exhausted; and

 avoid  remand  of the youth to detention INCLUDING WHETHER THE YOUTH AND

 use disorder which could make the youth a danger to himself  or  herself
 or  others.  Provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision
 of law to the contrary, the designated lead agency shall not be required

 providers available to the designated lead agency.
   (i)  providing,  at the first contact, information on the availability
 of or a referral to services in the geographic area where the youth  and
 his  or  her  family  are located that may be of benefit in avoiding the
 need to file a petition under this article; including the  availability,
 for  up  to  twenty-one  days,  of a residential respite program, if the
 youth and his or her parent or other person legally responsible for  his
 or  her care agree, and the availability of other non-residential crisis
 intervention programs such as A FAMILY  SUPPORT  CENTER,  family  crisis
 counseling  or alternative dispute resolution programs or an educational
 program as defined in section four hundred fifty-eight-l of  the  social
 services law.
   (f)  Efforts  to  prevent  the  filing  of a petition pursuant to this
 section may extend until the  designated  lead  agency  determines  that
 there  is no substantial likelihood that the youth and his or her family
 will benefit from further attempts. Efforts  at  diversion  pursuant  to
 this  section  may  continue  after  the  filing of a petition where the
 designated lead agency determines that the youth and his or  her  family
 will  benefit  from  further  attempts to prevent PLACEMENT OF the youth

 finding that unless the respondent is detained there  is  a  substantial
 probability  that  the respondent will not appear in court on the return
 date and all available alternatives to detention have been exhausted.
   (b) Unless the respondent waives a determination that  probable  cause
 exists  to  believe  that  he  is  a  person  in need of supervision, no

 hearing on a felony complaint in a criminal court,  that  such  probable
 cause exists, or (ii) unless special circumstances exist, in which cases
 such  detention  may  be extended not more than an additional three days
 exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
   (c) Upon a finding of facts and  reasons  which  support  a  detention
 order  pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the court shall also

 time of the court's determination in accordance with this section; and

 notice  and  right to be heard. The failure of the foster parent, pre-a-
 doptive parent, or relative caring for the child to appear at a  perman-
 ency hearing shall constitute a waiver of the right to be heard and such

 in  which  case  not  more  than a total of two such adjournments may be
 granted in the absence of special circumstances. If  the  respondent  is
 not  detained,  an]  adjournment  may  be for a reasonable time, but the

 disposition. If the court places the child in  accordance  with  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-six  of  this  part,  the court in its order shall
 determine: (i) whether continuation in the child's home would be contra-
 ry to the best interest of the child and where appropriate, that reason-
 able efforts were made prior to the date of  the  dispositional  hearing
 held  pursuant  to  this  article  to  prevent or eliminate the need for
 removal of the child from his or her home and, if the child was  removed
 from  his  or  her  home  prior  to  the date of such hearing, that such
 removal was in the child's best interest and, where appropriate, reason-

 ly home. If the court determines that reasonable efforts to  prevent  or
 eliminate  the need for removal of the child from the home were not made
 but that the lack of such efforts  was  appropriate  under  the  circum-
 stances,  the  court order shall include such a finding; and (ii) in the
 case of a child who has attained the age of fourteen, the services need-

 twelve months. The court may extend  a  placement  pursuant  to  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-six-a.  In its discretion, the court may recommend
 restitution or require services for  public  good  pursuant  to  section
 seven  hundred  fifty-eight-a in conjunction with an order of placement.
 For the purposes of calculating the initial period  of  placement,  such
 placement  shall  be  deemed to have commenced sixty days after the date
 the child was removed from his  or  her  home  in  accordance  with  the
 provisions  of  this  article.  [If the respondent has been in detention
 pending disposition, the initial period of placement ordered under  this
 section  shall  be  credited  with  and diminished by the amount of time
 spent by the respondent in detention prior to the  commencement  of  the
 placement  unless  the court finds that all or part of such credit would
 not serve the best interests of the respondent.
   (c) A placement pursuant to this  section  with  the  commissioner  of
 social services shall not be directed in any detention facility, but the
 court  may  direct  detention pending transfer to a placement authorized
 and ordered under this section for no more than than fifteen days  after
 such  order  of  placement  is  made. Such direction shall be subject to
 extension pursuant to subdivision three of section three  hundred  nine-
 ty-eight  of  the social services law, upon written documentation to the
 office of children and family services that the  youth  is  in  need  of
 specialized  treatment  or  placement  and  the  diligent efforts by the
 commissioner of social services to locate an appropriate placement.]

 court may
   (a) recommend as a condition of placement, or order as a condition  of
 probation or suspended judgment, restitution in an amount representing a
 fair  and  reasonable  cost to replace the property or repair the damage
 caused by the [infant] CHILD,  not,  however,  to  exceed  one  thousand
 dollars.  [In  the case of a placement, the court may recommend that the
 infant pay out of his or  her  own  funds  or  earnings  the  amount  of
 replacement  or  damage, either in a lump sum or in periodic payments in
 amounts set by the agency with which he is placed, and in  the  case  of

 replacement or damage, either in a lump sum or in periodic  payments  in
 amounts set by the court; and/or
   (b)  order  as a condition of placement, probation, or suspended judg-
 ment, services for the public good including in  the  case  of  a  crime
 involving  willful, malicious, or unlawful damage or destruction to real
 or personal property maintained as a cemetery plot, grave, burial place,
 or other place of interment of human remains, services for  the  mainte-
 nance and repair thereof, taking into consideration the age and physical
 condition of the [infant] CHILD.
   2.  [If  the court recommends restitution or requires services for the
 public good in conjunction  with  an  order  of  placement  pursuant  to
 section  seven hundred fifty-six, the placement shall be made only to an
 authorized agency which has adopted rules and regulations for the super-
 vision of such a program, which rules and regulations shall  be  subject
 to  the  approval of the state department of social services. Such rules
 and regulations shall include, but not  be  limited  to  provisions  (i)
 assuring  that  the conditions of work, including wages, meet the stand-
 ards therefor prescribed pursuant  to  the  labor  law;  (ii)  affording
 coverage to the child under the workers' compensation law as an employee
 of such agency, department or institution; (iii) assuring that the enti-
 ty  receiving  such  services  shall not utilize the same to replace its
 regular employees; and (iv) providing for reports to the court not  less
 frequently than every six months, unless the order provides otherwise.
   3.]  If the court requires restitution or services for the public good
 [as a condition of probation or suspended judgment],  it  shall  provide
 that  an agency or person supervise the restitution or services and that
 such agency or person report to the court not less frequently than every
 six months, unless the order provides otherwise. Upon the written notice
 sent by a school district to the court  and  the  appropriate  probation
 department  or agency which submits probation recommendations or reports
 to the court, the court may provide  that  such  school  district  shall
 supervise the performance of services for the public good.
   [4.]  3. The court, upon receipt of the reports provided for in subdi-
 vision two [or three] of this section may, on  its  own  motion  or  the
 motion  of  any party or the agency, hold a hearing to determine whether
 the [placement] CONDITION should be altered or modified.

 need of supervision placed] in his or  her  care  by  the  family  court
 provided, however, that the commissioner of the social services district
 with whom the child is placed may apply to the state commissioner or his
 or her designee for approval of an additional fifteen days, upon written
 documentation  to  the  office  of children and family services that the
 youth is in need of specialized treatment or placement and the  diligent
 efforts  by the commissioner of social services to locate an appropriate
 placement.
   [3-a. As to delinquent children:
   (a)] (D) (1) Conditionally release any juvenile delinquent placed with
 the district to aftercare whenever the district  determines  conditional
 release to be consistent with the needs and best interests of such juve-
 nile delinquent, that suitable care and supervision can be provided, and
 that there is a reasonable probability that such juvenile delinquent can
 be  conditionally  released without endangering public safety; provided,
 however, that such conditional release shall be made in accordance  with

 program shall be conditionally released by the district solely by reason
 of the absence.
   (2) It shall be a condition of such release that a juvenile delinquent
 so  released  shall  continue  to  be  the  responsibility of the social
 services district for the period provided in the order of placement.
   (3) The social services district may provide  clothing,  services  and
 other necessities for any conditionally released juvenile delinquent, as
 may  be  required,  including  medical care and services not provided to
 such juvenile delinquent as medical assistance for needy persons  pursu-
 ant to title eleven of article five of this chapter.
   (4)  The  social services district, pursuant to the regulations of the
 office of children and family services, may cause a juvenile  delinquent
 to be returned to a facility operated and maintained by the district, or
 an authorized agency under contract with the district, at any time with-
 in the period of placement, where there is a violation of the conditions
 of release or a change of circumstances.
   (5)  Juvenile  delinquents conditionally released by a social services
 district may be provided for as follows:
   (i) If, in the opinion of the social services district,  there  is  no
 suitable  parent, relative or guardian to whom a juvenile delinquent can
 be  conditionally  released,  and  suitable  care  cannot  otherwise  be
 secured, the district may conditionally release such juvenile delinquent
 to the care of any other suitable person; provided that where such suit-
 able  person  has  no legal relationship with the juvenile, the district
 shall advise such person of the  procedures  for  obtaining  custody  or
 guardianship of the juvenile.
   (ii)  If  a  conditionally  released juvenile delinquent is subject to
 article sixty-five of the education law or elects to participate  in  an
 educational program leading to a high school diploma, he or she shall be
 enrolled  in  a  school  or educational program leading to a high school
 diploma following release, or, if such release occurs during the  summer

 tionally released juvenile delinquent is not subject to  article  sixty-
 five  of  the  education  law,  and  does not elect to participate in an
 educational program leading to a high school  diploma,  steps  shall  be
 taken,  to the extent possible, to facilitate his or her gainful employ-
 ment or enrollment in a vocational program following release.
   [(b)] (E) When a juvenile delinquent placed with the  social  services
 district  is  absent  from placement without consent, such absence shall
 interrupt the calculation of time for his or her placement. Such  inter-
 ruption  shall  continue  until  such juvenile delinquent returns to the
 facility or authorized agency in which he or she was  placed.  Provided,
 however,  that  any  time spent by a juvenile delinquent in custody from
 the date of absence to the date  placement  resumes  shall  be  credited
 against the time of such placement provided that such custody:
   (1) was due to an arrest or surrender based upon the absence; or
   (2)  arose from an arrest or surrender on another charge which did not
 culminate in a conviction, adjudication or adjustment.
   [(c)] (F) In addition to the other requirements of  this  section,  no
 juvenile  delinquent placed with a social services district operating an
 approved juvenile justice services close to home initiative pursuant  to
 section  four  hundred  four  of  this chapter pursuant to a restrictive
 placement under the family court act shall be released  except  pursuant
 to section 353.5 of the family court act.

 tute, neglected, abused or abandoned children. Such foster care  facili-
 ties  shall not provide care to a youth in the care of a social services

 plan  as required by section four hundred nine-e of this [chapter] ARTI-
 CLE and the social  services  district's  child  welfare  services  plan

 returned to his or her family, and for a former foster care youth  under
 the  age of twenty-one who was previously placed in the care and custody
 or custody and guardianship of the local commissioner of social services
 or other officer, board or department authorized to receive children  as
 public  charges where it is reasonable to believe that by providing such
 services the former foster care youth will avoid a return to foster care
 [or (ii) the child is the subject of a petition under article  seven  of
 the  family  court act, or has been determined by the assessment service
 established pursuant to section two hundred forty-three-a of the  execu-
 tive  law,  or by the probation service where no such assessment service
 has been designated, to be at risk of being the subject of such a  peti-
 tion,  and  the social services official determines that the child is at
 risk of placement into foster care]. Such finding shall  be  entered  in
 the  child's  uniform case record established and maintained pursuant to

 shall promulgate regulations to  assist  social  services  officials  in
 making  determinations  of  eligibility for mandated preventive services

 secondary schools of the district. Such corrective action plan shall  be
 submitted  for  approval by the commissioner by a date during the school

 ant  to this subdivision, the commissioner shall be authorized to termi-
 nate such authorization upon a finding that  the  board  has  failed  to

 district  pursuant  to  this section shall be distributed among teachers
 including prekindergarten teachers and teachers of adult vocational  and
 academic  subjects in accordance with this section and shall be in addi-
 tion to salaries heretofore or hereafter negotiated or  made  available;
 provided,  however,  that all funds distributed pursuant to this section
 for the current year shall be deemed to incorporate all  funds  distrib-
 uted  pursuant to former subdivision 27 of section 3602 of the education
 law for prior years. In school districts where the teachers are  repres-
 ented  by  certified  or  recognized  employee organizations, all salary
 increases funded pursuant to this section shall be determined  by  sepa-
 rate  collective  negotiations  conducted pursuant to the provisions and
 procedures of article 14 of the civil service law,  notwithstanding  the
 existence  of  a  negotiated  agreement  between a school district and a
 certified or recognized employee  organization.    For  the  purpose  of
 continuing  contractual  obligations  of  conversion charter schools and
 their employees for the  2017-2018  school  year,  to  the  city  school
 district  of the city of New York, eleven million dollars ($11,000,000).

 state fiscal year in accordance with the  provisions  of  sections  271,
 272,  273,  282,  284,  and  285  of the education law as amended by the
 provisions of this chapter and the provisions of this section,  provided
 that library construction aid pursuant to section 273-a of the education
 law  shall  not  be  payable  from the appropriations for the support of
 public libraries and provided further that no library, library system or
 program, as defined by the commissioner of education, shall receive less
 total system or program aid than it  received  for  the  year  2001-2002
 except as a result of a reduction adjustment necessary to conform to the
 appropriations  for  support  of  public  libraries. Notwithstanding any
 other provision of law to the contrary the moneys appropriated  for  the
 support  of  public libraries for the year 2017-2018 by a chapter of the
 laws of 2017 enacting the education, labor and family assistance  budget
 shall  fulfill  the state's obligation to provide such aid and, pursuant
 to a plan developed by the commissioner of education and approved by the
 director of the budget, the aid payable to libraries and library systems
 pursuant to such appropriations  shall  be  reduced  proportionately  to
 assure  that  the  total amount of aid payable does not exceed the total
 appropriations for such purpose.

 ant  to  a  competitive process in accordance with subdivision nine-a of
 this section. Provided that such reissuance shall not be counted  toward
 the  statewide  numerical  limit  established  by  this subdivision, and
 provided further that no more than twenty-two charters may  be  reissued

 been apportioned less money than that  to  which  it  is  entitled,  the
 commissioner may allot to such district the balance to which it is enti-
 tled.  Whenever  a  school district has been apportioned more money than
 that to which it is entitled, the commissioner may, by an order,  direct
 such  moneys  to be paid back to the state to be credited to the general
 fund local assistance account for state  aid  to  the  schools,  or  may
 deduct  such  amount  from  the  next  apportionment  to be made to said
 district, PROVIDED THAT ANY RECOVERY INITIATED BY THE COMMISSIONER UNDER
 THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL FIRST BE OFFSET BY ANY PENDING PAYMENT OF  MONEYS
 DUE  TO  SAID  DISTRICT  AS  A PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT PAYABLE PURSUANT TO
 PARAGRAPH C OF THIS SUBDIVISION, AND THAT THE COMMISSIONER SHALL  REMOVE
 SUCH  CLAIM  FROM THE ORDERED LIST HE OR SHE PREPARES FOR SUCH PARAGRAPH
 C, AND provided, however, that, upon notification of excess payments  of
 aid  for which a recovery must be made by the state through deduction of
 future aid payments, a school district  may  request  that  such  excess
 payments  be  recovered  by  deducting  such  excess  payments  from the
 payments due to such school district and payable in the month of June in
 (i) the school year in which such notification was received and (ii) the
 two succeeding school years, provided further that  there  shall  be  no
 interest  penalty  assessed  against  such  district or collected by the
 state. Such request shall be made to the commissioner in  such  form  as
 the  commissioner  shall  prescribe, and shall be based on documentation
 that the total amount to be recovered is in excess of one percent of the
 district's total general fund  expenditures  for  the  preceding  school
 year.  The  amount to be deducted in the first year shall be the greater
 of (i) the sum of the amount of such excess payments that is  recognized
 as  a liability due to other governments by the district for the preced-
 ing school year and the positive remainder of the district's  unreserved
 fund  balance at the close of the preceding school year less the product
 of the district's total general  fund  expenditures  for  the  preceding
 school year multiplied by five percent, or (ii) one-third of such excess
 payments.  The amount to be recovered in the second year shall equal the
 lesser of the remaining amount of such excess payments to  be  recovered
 or  one-third  of such excess payments, and the remaining amount of such
 excess payments shall be recovered in the third year.  Provided  further
 that,  notwithstanding  any  other  provisions  of this subdivision, any
 pending payment of moneys due to such district as a prior  year  adjust-
 ment  payable pursuant to paragraph c of this subdivision for aid claims
 that had been previously paid as current year aid payments in excess  of
 the  amount  to which the district is entitled and for which recovery of
 excess payments is to be made  pursuant  to  this  paragraph,  shall  be
 reduced  at  the  time  of  actual  payment by any remaining unrecovered
 balance of such excess payments, and the remaining scheduled  deductions
 of  such  excess payments pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced by
 the commissioner to reflect the amount so  recovered.  The  commissioner

 S. 2006--B                         43
 
 shall certify no payment to a school district based on a claim submitted
 later  than three years after the close of the school year in which such
 payment was first to be made.  For claims for which payment is first  to
 be  made  in  the nineteen hundred ninety-six--ninety-seven school year,
 the commissioner shall certify no payment to a school district based  on
 a  claim  submitted  later than two years after the close of such school
 year. For claims for which payment is first to be made in  the  nineteen

 further  provided  that,  until June thirtieth, nineteen hundred ninety-
 six, the commissioner may grant a waiver from  the  provisions  of  this
 section  for any school district if it is in the best educational inter-
 ests of the district pursuant to guidelines developed by the commission-

 section 3604 of the education law and this act.

   §  2.  Legislative  findings  and  intent.  The  legislature finds and
 declares that child sexual abuse, estimated to affect up to one in  four
 girls  and up to one in six boys, poses a grave threat to the health and
 safety of young people, and its damaging effects can last a lifetime.
   The legislature also finds and declares that  child  sexual  exploita-
 tion, including the use of children in pornography and prostitution, and
 child  abduction pose a similar threat to the health and safety of young
 people, and put child victims at grave risk of death  or  severe  bodily
 harm.
   The  legislature  also  finds and declares that the incidence of child
 sexual abuse, child sexual  exploitation  and  child  abduction  can  be
 reduced  by raising awareness among young children of common dangers and
 warning signs, empowering children to  better  protect  themselves  from
 sexual  predators,  and  teaching  children  how to obtain any necessary
 assistance or services.
   It is hereby declared to be the public policy and in the public inter-
 est of this state to establish a comprehensive  program  to  provide  an
 age-appropriate  course of instruction in the prevention of child abduc-
 tion, child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse.

 such building.
   [d.]  E.  Such  designation  shall  be  made on forms specified by the
 commissioner, and shall include the name of the child, the name  of  the
 parent  or  person  in  parental  relation  to  the  child, the name and

 IS  CONTRARY TO THE REQUEST OF THE CHILD'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN, OR IN THE
 CASE OF AN UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH, THE YOUTH;
   (II) CONSIDER STUDENT-CENTERED FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT  LIMITED  TO
 FACTORS RELATED TO THE IMPACT OF MOBILITY ON ACHIEVEMENT, EDUCATION, THE
 HEALTH  AND SAFETY OF THE HOMELESS CHILD, GIVING PRIORITY TO THE REQUEST
 OF THE CHILD'S OR YOUTH'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN OR THE YOUTH IN THE CASE OF
 AN UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH;
   (III) IF AFTER CONSIDERING STUDENT-CENTERED FACTORS AND  CONDUCTING  A
 BEST  INTEREST  SCHOOL  PLACEMENT  DETERMINATION,  THE LOCAL EDUCATIONAL
 AGENCY DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT IN THE HOMELESS CHILD'S  BEST  INTEREST
 TO  ATTEND THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN OR THE SCHOOL DESIGNATED BY THE DESIGNA-
 TOR, THE LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCY MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN EXPLANATION  OF
 THE  REASONS  FOR ITS DETERMINATION, IN A MANNER AND FORM UNDERSTANDABLE
 TO SUCH PARENT, GUARDIAN, OR UNACCOMPANIED YOUTH.  THE INFORMATION  MUST
 ALSO  INCLUDE  INFORMATION  REGARDING  THE  RIGHT  TO A TIMELY APPEAL IN
 ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS OF THE COMMISSIONER. THE HOMELESS  CHILD  OR
 YOUTH  MUST  BE  ENROLLED IN THE SCHOOL IN WHICH ENROLLMENT IS SOUGHT BY
 THE DESIGNATOR DURING THE PENDENCY OF ALL AVAILABLE APPEALS;
   (4) treat the homeless child as a resident for all purposes;

 S. 2006--B                         62
 
   [(3)] (5) make a written request to  the  school  district  where  the
 child's records are located for a copy of such records; and
   [(4)]  (6) forward the designation form to the [commissioner, and the]
 school district of origin where applicable.

 AND PROGRAMMATIC RESPONSIBILITY UNDER ARTICLE FIFTY-SIX OF THIS  CHAPTER
 AND  SHALL  BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRANSPORTATION OF THE HOMELESS CHILD IF A
 SOCIAL SERVICES DISTRICT IS NOT OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE PURSUANT TO SUBDI-
 VISION FOUR OF THIS SECTION.

 local educational agency, as such term is defined in subsection  twenty-
 six  of  section  ninety-one hundred one of the Elementary and Secondary
 Education Act of 1965, AS AMENDED BY THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS  ACT  OF
 2015,  shall  designate  a local educational agency liaison for homeless

 such homeless child's school district  of  origin  is  within  New  York
 state,  the  school  district providing instruction, INCLUDING PRESCHOOL
 INSTRUCTION, shall be eligible for reimbursement by the  department,  as
 approved  by  the  commissioner,  for  the  direct  cost  of educational
 services, not  otherwise  reimbursed  under  special  federal  programs,
 calculated pursuant to regulations of the commissioner for the period of
 time for which such services are provided. The claim for such reimburse-
 ment  shall be in a form prescribed by the commissioner. The educational
 costs for such children shall not be otherwise aidable or reimbursable.
   b. The school district of origin shall reimburse  the  department  for
 its  expenditure  for educational services on behalf of a homeless child

 sion eight of section forty-four hundred one of this chapter,  pro-rated
 for the period of time for which such services were provided in the base
 year by a school district other than the school district of origin. Upon
 certification by the commissioner, the comptroller shall deduct from any
 state  funds which become due to the school district of origin an amount
 equal to the reimbursement required to be made by such  school  district
 in  accordance with this paragraph, and the amount so deducted shall not
 be included in the operating expense of such district for the purpose of

 S. 2006--B                         63
 
 computing the approved operating expense  pursuant  to  paragraph  t  of

 services  law,  to  and  from  a temporary housing location in which the
 child was placed by the social services district and the school attended
 by such child pursuant to this section, if such temporary housing facil-
 ity is located outside of the designated  school  district  pursuant  to
 paragraph  a  of  subdivision  two  of  this  section. A social services
 district shall be authorized to contract with a board of education or  a
 board  of  cooperative  educational  services  for the provision of such
 transportation. WHERE THE SOCIAL SERVICES  DISTRICT  REQUESTS  THAT  THE
 DESIGNATED  SCHOOL  DISTRICT OF ATTENDANCE PROVIDE OR ARRANGE FOR TRANS-

 purpose, as determined by the director of the  budget,]  THE  DESIGNATED
 SCHOOL  DISTRICT  OF  ATTENDANCE shall provide for the transportation of
 each homeless child who is living in a residential program  for  runaway
 and  homeless  youth  established  pursuant to article nineteen-H of the
 executive law, to and from such  residential  program,  and  the  school

 ing  location  is  located  outside  the designated school district. The
 [division for youth or the director of a residential program for runaway
 and homeless youth] DESIGNATED DISTRICT OF ATTENDANCE shall  be  author-
 ized  to  contract  with  [a  school district or] a board of cooperative
 educational services OR A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR RUNAWAY  AND  HOMELESS
 YOUTH  for  the  provision  of such transportation. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL

 PURPOSE, AS DETERMINED BY THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET.
   c.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any homeless child not
 entitled to receive transportation pursuant to [paragraph] PARAGRAPHS  a
 AND B of this subdivision who requires transportation in order to attend
 a  school  [district]  OF ORIGIN designated pursuant to [paragraph a of]
 subdivision two of this section [outside of the district in  which  such
 child  is  housed],  shall  be  entitled  to receive such transportation
 pursuant to this paragraph. [If the]  THE  designated  [school  district

 district  of  origin  or  a  school district participating in a regional
 placement plan, such] school district OF ATTENDANCE shall provide trans-
 portation to and from the child's temporary  housing  location  and  the
 school  [the child legally attends] OF ORIGIN. Such transportation shall
 not be in excess of fifty miles each way except where  the  commissioner

 S. 2006--B                         64

 certifies  that  transportation  in excess of fifty miles is in the best
 interest of the child. Any cost incurred for such transportation that is
 allowable pursuant to the applicable provision of parts two and three of
 article seventy-three of this chapter or herein, shall be aidable pursu-
 ant to subdivision seven of section thirty-six hundred two of this chap-
 ter,  provided that the approved transportation expense shall not exceed
 an amount determined by the  commissioner  to  be  the  total  cost  for
 providing  the  most  cost-effective  mode  of  such transportation in a
 manner consistent with commissioner's  regulations.    The  commissioner
 shall promulgate regulations setting forth the circumstances pursuant to
 which  parent  accompaniment  for  transportation  may  be reimbursable,
 including but not limited to: the age of the child; the distance of  the
 transportation; the cost-effectiveness of the transportation; and wheth-
 er the child has a handicapping condition.
   d.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, where a homeless child
 designates the school district of current location as the  district  the
 child  will  attend AND SUCH CHILD DOES NOT ATTEND THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN,
 such school district shall provide transportation to such child  on  the
 same basis as a resident student.
   e.  [Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law, if a homeless child
 chooses to remain in the public school  building  the  child  previously
 attended  pursuant to subparagraph one of paragraph b of subdivision two
 of this section or paragraph c of subdivision two of  this  section  the
 school  district  shall  provide  transportation to and from the child's
 temporary housing location and the school the child legally  attends  if
 such  temporary  housing  is  located  in a different attendance zone or
 community school district within such district. The cost of such  trans-
 portation shall be reimbursed in accordance with the provisions of para-
 graph  c  of  this subdivision.] WHERE THE DESIGNATED SCHOOL DISTRICT OF
 ATTENDANCE HAS RECOMMENDED THAT  THE  HOMELESS  CHILD  ATTEND  A  SUMMER

 STATE AND HAS DESIGNATED A SCHOOL OF ORIGIN LOCATED IN THE STATE OF  NEW
 YORK, THE DESIGNATED SCHOOL DISTRICT IN NEW YORK STATE SHALL COLLABORATE
 WITH  THE  LOCAL  EDUCATIONAL  AGENCY IN WHICH SUCH CHILD IS TEMPORARILY

 ant to a General Project Plan adopted by the New York State Urban Devel-
 opment Corporation and approved by Public Authorities Control  Board  or
 is  otherwise  set  forth  in  agreements  with the New York State Urban

 containing a number of contiguous city blocks, and  (iv)  the  units  in
 which, in the aggregate for each successive fifteen hundred units of the
 project  rather  than for each multiple dwelling containing such fifteen
 hundred units and in the aggregate for the entire  project  rather  than
 for  each  multiple  dwelling  in  the project, meet the requirements of
 paragraph (c) of subdivision seven of this section.
   (b) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (a)
 of this subdivision, no portion of a UDC Large Scale  Project  shall  be

 hundred units for any tax benefits awarded pursuant to  this  paragraph.
 The  existence  of such special certification requirement and its finan-
 cial impact upon all units, including, but not limited to, revocation of
 tax benefits awarded pursuant to this paragraph if such special  certif-
 ication  requirement is not met, shall be disclosed as a special risk in

 paragraph (b) of this subdivision shall apply to all such real  property
 (i) which is classified within the homestead class pursuant to paragraph

 a  local  law or, for a school district, a resolution providing that the
 provisions of paragraph (b) of this subdivision shall  not  apply  to  a
 converted  condominium  unit  within  that  municipal  corporation.    A
 converted condominium unit for purposes of this paragraph shall  mean  a
 dwelling  unit held in condominium form of ownership that has previously
 been on an assessment roll as a dwelling unit in other than  condominium
 form of ownership, and has not been previously subject to the provisions

 based  on  the  regional  birth  rates, employment and population growth
 rates;

 day  care services over the succeeding five years, including whether the
 projected growth rate in the child day care industry will be  sufficient
 to meet such future needs;

 dren on a regional basis, including the availability of government funds
 for parents and guardians toward child care costs;

 subsidy slots in counties that currently offer such night  shift  subsi-
 dies and whether such subsidies have reduced the overall amount of child
 care slots in these counties;
   (4)  an assessment of how many families currently receive these subsi-
 dies in counties that currently offer such night shift subsidies;
   (5) an analysis of any possible additional costs related to a require-
 ment that subsidies for night shift workers be available statewide; and
   (6) an analysis of the  statewide  and  local  ramifications  of  such
 requirements;
   (f)  identifying  policies  that would encourage the establishment and
 operation of more child day care center  providers  and  increasing  the
 capacity of existing child day care providers;
   (g) identifying policies that would encourage and facilitate expansion
 of quality child day care services by neighbors and in communities where
 the working poor live and/or work; and

 ity  child  day  care, are used to identify child day care providers who

   (1) THE PROVIDER WAS GIVEN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME TO PRODUCE SUCH
 INFORMATION; AND
   (2) IF THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IS DEPENDENT ON A THIRD
 PARTY PROVIDING SUCH INFORMATION, THAT THE PROVIDER DID NOT MAKE REASON-

 event  later  than  thirty  days after the receipt of the request by the
 office of children and family services. Suspension shall continue  until

 hearing  decision  has been issued. If the office of children and family
 services determines after a hearing that the [temporary]  suspension  or
 limitation  was  proper, such suspension or limitation shall be extended
 until  the  condition  requiring  suspension  or  limitation  has   been
 corrected or until the license or registration has been revoked.

 of paragraph (c) of this subdivision, no penalty shall be imposed except
 as provided in paragraph (c) of this subdivision.
   (V)  NOTHING  HEREIN  SHALL PROHIBIT THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY

 ized to contract with [a school district  or]  a  board  of  cooperative
 educational  services  OR A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR RUNAWAY AND HOMELESS

 article seventy-three of this chapter or herein, shall be aidable pursu-
 ant to subdivision seven of section thirty-six hundred two of this chap-
 ter, provided that the approved transportation expense shall not  exceed
 an  amount  determined  by  the  commissioner  to  be the total cost for
 providing the most cost-effective  mode  of  such  transportation  in  a
 manner  consistent  with  commissioner's regulations.   The commissioner
 shall promulgate regulations setting forth the circumstances pursuant to
 which parent  accompaniment  for  transportation  may  be  reimbursable,
 including  but not limited to: the age of the child; the distance of the
 transportation; the cost-effectiveness of the transportation; and wheth-
 er the child has a handicapping condition.

 same basis as a resident student.

 school district shall provide transportation to  and  from  the  child's
 temporary  housing  location and the school the child legally attends if
 such temporary housing is located in  a  different  attendance  zone  or
 community  school district within such district. The cost of such trans-
