SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section one of this bill provides for the legislative intent and findings as related to the decline in the state prison inmate census, due to the utilization of alternatives to incarceration and changes in sentencing laws for persons convicted of drug offenses, as well as the benefits of chemical dependence prevention.

S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 4009 2017-2018 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E February 1, 2017 ___________ Introduced by Sen. GOLDEN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Mental Health and Develop- mental Disabilities AN ACT to amend the mental hygiene law and the state finance law, in relation to the reinvestment of funds into community-based services for persons suffering from chemical dependence THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. The legislature finds that declines in the state prison inmate census, due to the utilization of alternatives to incarceration and changes in the sentencing laws for persons convicted of drug offenses, create concomitant demand and strain on community-based chemical dependence treatment services. The legislature also finds that as state expenditures for incarcerated individuals are reduced due to the aforementioned interventions, it is necessary and appropriate to establish a dedicated fund, comprised of those savings, which will be reinvested into the development and expan- sion of community-based chemical dependence treatment and prevention programs. The legislature further finds that as it is well established that chemical dependence prevention and treatment is the most effective response to chemical abuse and addiction and the resulting criminal offenses, the availability of effective prevention and treatment programs should be a prominent component of the state's response. § 2. Section 1.03 of the mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new subdivision 59 to read as follows: 59. "COMMUNITY CHEMICAL DEPENDENCE REINVESTMENT SERVICES" SHALL INCLUDE CHEMICAL DEPENDENCE SERVICES AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION FIFTY- FIVE OF THIS SECTION. § 3. The mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new section 22.12 to read as follows: EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
