   7. The apportionment provided for in this section shall  be  paid,  at
 such  times as may be determined by the commissioner and approved by the

 plus  a minimum lottery grant determined pursuant to subdivision four of
 section ninety-two-c of the state finance law and the sum of the enroll-
 ments in grades kindergarten through twelve in the base year  calculated

 year  shall be deemed approved operating expense of the district for the
 purpose of computation of  state  aid  pursuant  to  section  thirty-six
 hundred  two  of this chapter, but expenditures up to such product shall
 not be deemed approved operating expenses for such purpose.
   8. In its discretion, a board of education may adopt regulations spec-
 ifying the date by which requests for the purchase and loan of textbooks
 must be received by the district. Notice of such date shall be given  to

 thirty days after such child is enrolled in such non-public  school.  In
 no  event  however  shall  a request made later than the times otherwise
 provided pursuant to this  subdivision  be  denied  where  a  reasonable
 explanation is given for the delay in making the request.

 pursuant to this section, such expenses shall not be aidable pursuant to
 any  other section of law. Such aid shall be provided pursuant to a plan
 developed by the district which demonstrates to the satisfaction of  the
 commissioner  that  the  instructional  computer  hardware  needs of the
 district's public school students have been adequately met and that  the
 school  district  has  provided  for  the loan of instructional computer
 hardware to students legally attending  nonpublic  schools  pursuant  to
 section  seven  hundred  fifty-four of this article.   The apportionment
 shall equal the lesser of such approved expense in the base year or, the
 product of (i) the technology factor, (ii) the sum of the public  school

 three of paragraph n of subdivision one of  section  thirty-six  hundred
 two  of this chapter, and (iii) the building aid ratio for the repair of
 instructional computer hardware and technology  equipment  and  training
 and  staff  development  for  instructional  purposes pursuant to a plan

 acquire instructional computer hardware  or  technology  equipment,  the
 cost of which exceeds, FOR THE TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN-TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
 SCHOOL YEAR AND PRIOR, the amount of state aid provided pursuant to this
 section, AND FOR THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY--TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE SCHOOL
 YEAR  AND THEREAFTER, THE PRODUCT OF (I) THE TECHNOLOGY FACTOR, (II) THE

   a. Upon application by a board of cooperative educational services, IN
 THE  TWO  THOUSAND  NINETEEN--TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SCHOOL YEAR AND PRIOR,
 there shall be apportioned and paid from state funds to  each  board  of
 cooperative educational services an amount which shall be the product of
 the  approved  cost  of  services actually incurred during the base year
 multiplied by the sharing ratio for cooperative educational services aid
 which shall equal the greater of: (i) an amount equal to one  minus  the
 quotient  expressed  as  a  decimal  to three places without rounding of
 eight mills divided by the tax rate of the local district computed  upon
 the  actual  valuation  of  taxable  property, as determined pursuant to
 subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred two of  this  chapter  and
 notwithstanding  section  three thousand six hundred three, expressed in
 mills to the nearest tenth as determined by the commissioner,  provided,
 however,  that where services are provided to a school district which is
 included within a central high school district  or  to  a  central  high
 school  district,  such  amount  shall  equal  one  minus  the  quotient
 expressed as a decimal to three places without rounding of  three  mills
 divided  by  the  tax rates, expressed in mills to the nearest tenth, of
 such districts, as determined by the commissioner or (ii) the aid  ratio
 of each school district for the current year, which shall be such compo-
 nent  school  district's  board  of cooperative educational services aid
 ratio and which shall be not less than thirty-six percent  converted  to
 decimals  and  shall  be not more than ninety percent converted to deci-

 mals. For the purposes of this paragraph, the  tax  rate  of  the  local
 district computed upon the actual valuation of taxable property shall be
 the  sum  of  the  amount  of tax raised by the school district plus any
 payments  in  lieu  of taxes received by the school district pursuant to
 section four hundred eighty-five of the real property tax  law,  divided
 by  the  actual valuation of the school district, provided, however that
 the tax rate for a central high school district shall be the sum of  the
 amount  of  tax  raised  by  the  common and union free school districts
 included within the central high school district for the support of  the
 central high school district plus any payments in lieu of taxes received
 for  the support of the central high school district pursuant to section
 four hundred eighty-five of the real property tax law,  divided  by  the
 actual  valuation  of the central high school district. The tax rate for
 each common or union free school district which  is  included  within  a
 central  high  school district shall be the sum of the amount raised for
 the support of such common  or  union  free  school  district  plus  any
 payments  in  lieu  of  taxes  received  for  the  support of the school
 district pursuant to section four hundred eighty-five of the real  prop-
 erty tax law, exclusive of the amount raised for the central high school
 district,  divided  by the actual valuation of such common or union free
 school district.
   f. The sum  of  the  amounts  determined  for  each  component  school
 district  as  the  apportionment to the board of cooperative educational
 services pursuant to the provisions of this section shall  not  be  less
 than  the  amount  which would have been apportioned during the nineteen
 hundred sixty-seven--sixty-eight school year  under  the  provisions  of
 this subdivision as in effect on December thirty-first, nineteen hundred
 sixty-six  to the board of cooperative educational services of which the
 district was a component member for which such apportionment  was  made,
 except  that  such minimum apportionment shall be reduced in any year in
 which the expenditures of the component district for  board  of  cooper-
 ative educational purposes fall below the expenditure on which the nine-
 teen  hundred  sixty-seven--sixty-eight  apportionment  to  the board of
 cooperative educational services was based, such reduction to be made on
 a proportionate basis, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH LIMITATION SHALL  NO
 LONGER APPLY COMMENCING WITH THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY--TWO THOUSAND TWEN-
 TY-ONE SCHOOL YEAR.
   g. Any payment required by a board of cooperative educational services
 to the dormitory authority or any payment required by a board of cooper-
 ative  educational services to acquire or construct a school facility of
 the board of cooperative educational  services,  and  any  payments  for
 rental  of  facilities  by  a  board of cooperative educational services
 shall, for the purposes of apportionment of public moneys to  the  board
 of  cooperative educational services by the state of New York, be deemed
 to be an administrative or capital expense, as designated by the commis-
 sioner, but the entire amount of  such  payment  shall  be  utilized  in
 making such apportionment and the limitation of ten percent of the total
 expenses  contained  in  this  subdivision  shall not be applicable. Any
 expense designated by the commissioner as a  capital  expense  shall  be
 included  in  the capital budget of the board of cooperative educational
 services and, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph,  shall  be
 aided  in the same manner as an administrative expense, PROVIDED, HOWEV-
 ER, THAT SUCH AID SHALL NOT BE PROVIDED COMMENCING WITH THE TWO THOUSAND
 TWENTY--TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE SCHOOL YEAR. Any such payment shall  not
 be  considered  part  of the total expenses of the board for purposes of
 determining the administrative and clerical expenses not to  exceed  ten

 percent  otherwise  eligible  for  aid  under this subdivision, and such
 payments shall be considered for the purpose of apportionment during the
 current school year such payment is made.  The  apportionment  for  such
 payments  shall  be determined by multiplying the amount of such payment
 allocated to each component school district in the board of  cooperative
 educational services by the aid ratio, and shall be not more than ninety
 percent  converted to decimals, of each such component computed pursuant
 to subdivision three of section  thirty-six  hundred  two  and  used  to
 apportion  aid  to  that district in that current school year; provided,
 however, the apportionment for  the  construction,  acquisition,  recon-
 struction, rehabilitation, or improvement of board of cooperative educa-
 tional services facilities, including payments to the dormitory authori-
 ty  and payments under any lease agreement, shall be based upon the cost
 of the board of cooperative educational services school  facilities  but
 not to exceed the cost allowance set forth in subdivision six of section
 thirty-six  hundred  two  of  the  education law and payments for rental
 facilities shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner.
   h. Each board of cooperative educational services receiving a  payment
 pursuant  to  paragraph  a  of  this  subdivision and section thirty-six
 hundred nine-d of this chapter, IN THE TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN--TWO  THOU-
 SAND  TWENTY  SCHOOL YEAR AND PRIOR, shall be required to set aside from
 such payment an amount not less than the amount of  state  aid  received
 pursuant  to  paragraph  a of this subdivision in the base year that was
 attributable to cooperative services  agreements  (CO-SERs)  for  career
 education,  as  determined by the commissioner, and shall be required to
 use such amount to support career  education  programs  in  the  current
 year.

 YEAR and thereafter, the total foundation aid base shall equal the total
 amount  a  district was eligible to receive in the base year pursuant to
 subdivision four of this section.
   (III) FOR AID PAYABLE IN THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY--TWO  THOUSAND  TWEN-
 TY-ONE SCHOOL YEAR, THE TOTAL FOUNDATION AID BASE SHALL EQUAL THE SUM OF

 shall  equal  the  greater  of  (i)  the  product of one and two hundred
 sixty-three thousandths multiplied by the state sharing ratio,  (ii)  an
 aid ratio computed by subtracting from one and one hundredth the product
 computed  to three decimals without rounding obtained by multiplying the
 resident weighted average daily attendance  wealth  ratio  by  forty-six
 percent, where such aid ratio shall be expressed as a decimal carried to
 three  places  without  rounding,  PROVIDED THAT COMMENCING WITH THE TWO
 THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE--TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-TWO SCHOOL YEAR AND THEREAFTER,

 lation  of  more  than one million, an aid ratio computed by subtracting
 from one and one hundredth the product computed to three decimal  places
 without  rounding  obtained  by multiplying the number computed to three
 decimals without rounding obtained when the quotient of actual valuation
 of a school district, as defined in paragraph c of  subdivision  one  of
 this  section, divided by the sum of the resident public school district
 enrollment, the resident nonpublic school district  enrollment  and  the
 additional  public school enrollment of the school district for the year
 prior to the base year is divided by the statewide average actual  valu-
 ation  per the sum of such total resident public school district enroll-
 ment, nonpublic school district enrollment and additional public  school
 enrollment  of all school districts eligible for an apportionment pursu-
 ant to this section except central high school districts as computed  by
 the  commissioner using the latest single year actual valuation computed

 under paragraph c of subdivision  one  of  this  section,  by  forty-six
 percent,  where  such  ratio  shall be expressed as a decimal carried to
 three decimal places without rounding. The computation of such statewide
 average  shall  include  the  actual  valuation  of all school districts
 eligible for an apportionment pursuant to this  section  except  central
 high  school  districts.  The  transportation  sparsity adjustment shall
 equal the quotient of: the positive remainder of  twenty-one  minus  the
 district's  public school enrollment for the year prior to the base year
 per square mile, divided by three  hundred  seventeen  and  eighty-eight
 hundredths.  Approved  transportation  expense  shall  be the sum of the
 approved transportation operating expense and the  approved  transporta-
 tion  capital,  debt service and lease expense of the district. Approved
 transportation expense shall not be aidable pursuant to section nineteen
 hundred fifty of this chapter.
   b. (1) For the purposes of this apportionment, approved transportation
 operating expense shall be the actual expenditure incurred by  a  school
 district  and approved by the commissioner (i) for those items of trans-
 portation operating expense allowable under subdivision one  of  section
 thirty-six  hundred  twenty-three-a  of this article for regular aidable
 transportation of pupils as such terms are defined in  sections  thirty-
 six hundred twenty-one and thirty-six hundred twenty-two-a of this arti-
 cle, and (ii) for those items of transportation operating expense allow-
 able  under subdivision one of section thirty-six hundred twenty-three-a
 of this article for the transportation required or  authorized  pursuant
 to article eighty-nine of this chapter, and (iii) for providing monitors
 on school buses for students with disabilities, and (iv) for transporta-
 tion operating expenses allowable under section thirty-six hundred twen-
 ty-three-a  of  this article for the transportation of homeless children
 authorized by paragraph c of  subdivision  four  of  section  thirty-two
 hundred  nine  of this chapter, provided that the total approved cost of
 such transportation shall not exceed the amount of the total cost of the
 most cost-effective mode of transportation.   PROVIDED THAT,  COMMENCING
 WITH  APPORTIONMENTS FOR THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE--TWO THOUSAND TWEN-
 TY-TWO SCHOOL YEAR AND  THEREAFTER,  APPROVED  TRANSPORTATION  OPERATING
 EXPENSE  FOR  A SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (I) TOTAL
 APPROVED TRANSPORTATION OPERATING EXPENSE FOR THE BASE YEAR OR (II)  THE

   § 23. Paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 3604  of  the  education
 law,  as  amended by chapter 161 of the laws of 2005, is amended to read
 as follows:
   a. State aid adjustments. All errors or omissions in the apportionment
 shall  be  corrected by the commissioner. Whenever a school district has
 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, 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
 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
 hundred ninety-seven--ninety-eight] PRIOR TO THE TWO THOUSAND  NINETEEN-
 -TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY  school  year  [and thereafter], the commissioner
 shall certify no payment to a school district based on a claim submitted
 later than one year after the close of such school year.  FOR CLAIMS FOR

 S. 7506--A                         24                         A. 9506--A
 
 WHICH PAYMENT IS FIRST TO BE MADE  IN  THE  TWO  THOUSAND  NINETEEN--TWO
 THOUSAND  TWENTY  SCHOOL  YEAR  AND  THEREAFTER,  THE COMMISSIONER SHALL
 CERTIFY NO PAYMENT TO A SCHOOL DISTRICT BASED ON A CLAIM SUBMITTED LATER
 THAN  THE  FIRST  OF NOVEMBER OF SUCH SCHOOL YEAR. Provided, however, no
 payments shall be barred or reduced where such payment is required as  a
 result  of  a  final  audit  of the state. [It is 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  interests  of  the  district
 pursuant to guidelines developed by the commissioner and approved by the
 director  of  the  budget.] FURTHER PROVIDED THAT FOR ANY APPORTIONMENTS

   1. In order to promote a spirit of patriotic  and  civic  service  and
 obligation  and  to foster in the children of the state moral and intel-
 lectual qualities which are essential in preparing  to  meet  the  obli-
 gations of citizenship in peace or in war, the regents of The University
 of  the  State  of  New  York  shall prescribe courses of instruction in
 patriotism, citizenship, and human rights issues, with particular atten-
 tion to the study of the inhumanity of genocide, slavery (including  the
 freedom  trail and underground railroad), the Holocaust, CIVIC EDUCATION
 AND VALUES, OUR SHARED HISTORY OF DIVERSITY, THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS FREE-
 DOM IN THIS COUNTRY, and the mass starvation in  Ireland  from  1845  to

 boards  of  education  and  trustees  of  the  several cities and school
 districts of the state shall require instruction to  be  given  in  such

 courses,  by  the  teachers  employed in the schools therein. All pupils
 attending such schools, over the age of eight years, shall  attend  upon
 such instruction.
   Similar  courses  of instruction shall be prescribed and maintained in
 private schools in the state, and all pupils in such schools over  eight
 years  of age shall attend upon such courses. If such courses are not so
 established and maintained in a private school, attendance upon instruc-
 tion in such school shall not  be  deemed  substantially  equivalent  to
 instruction  given  to  pupils  of like age in the public schools of the
 city or district in which such pupils reside.
   3. The regents shall determine the subjects to  be  included  in  such
 courses  of  instruction  in  patriotism,  citizenship, and human rights
 issues, with particular attention to the  study  of  the  inhumanity  of
 genocide,  slavery  (including  the  freedom trail and underground rail-
 road), the Holocaust, CIVIC EDUCATION AND VALUES, OUR SHARED HISTORY  OF
 DIVERSITY,  THE  ROLE OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN THIS COUNTRY, and the mass
 starvation in Ireland from 1845 to 1850, and in  the  history,  meaning,
 significance  and  effect  of  the provisions of the constitution of the
 United States, the amendments thereto, the declaration of  independence,
 the  constitution  of  the state of New York and the amendments thereto,
 and the period of instruction in each of the grades  in  such  subjects.
 They  shall  adopt  rules providing for attendance upon such instruction
 and for such other matters as are required for carrying into effect  the
 objects  and purposes of this section. The commissioner shall be respon-
 sible for the  enforcement  of  such  section  and  shall  cause  to  be
 inspected  and  supervise  the instruction to be given in such subjects.
 The commissioner may, in his discretion, cause all or a portion  of  the
 public  school money to be apportioned to a district or city to be with-
 held for failure of the school authorities of such district or  city  to
 provide  instruction  in such courses and to compel attendance upon such
 instruction, as herein prescribed, and for  a  non-compliance  with  the
 rules of the regents adopted as herein provided.

 355 of the education law, as amended by section 1 of part JJJ of chapter
 59 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:
   (4)  The trustees shall not impose a differential tuition charge based
 upon need or  income.  Except  as  hereinafter  provided,  all  students
 enrolled  in  programs  leading to like degrees at state-operated insti-
 tutions of the state university shall  be  charged  a  uniform  rate  of
 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
 non-degree granting programs so long  as  such  tuition  rate  does  not
 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
 subparagraph, the trustees may authorize the setting of a separate cate-
 gory  of  tuition  rate, that shall be greater than the tuition rate for
 resident students and  less  than  the  tuition  rate  for  non-resident
 students,  only  for  students enrolled in distance learning courses who
 are not residents of the state. Except as otherwise authorized  in  this
 subparagraph,  the  trustees  shall  not adopt changes affecting tuition
 charges prior to the enactment of the annual  budget,  provided  however
 that:
   (i)  Commencing  with  the  two  thousand  eleven--two thousand twelve
 academic year and ending  in  the  two  thousand  fifteen--two  thousand
 sixteen academic year the state university of New York board of trustees
 shall  be  empowered  to  increase  the  resident  undergraduate rate of
 tuition by not more than three hundred dollars over the resident  under-
 graduate  rate  of tuition adopted by the board of trustees in the prior
 academic year, provided however that commencing with  the  two  thousand
 eleven--two thousand twelve academic year 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 this title, shall be applied toward
 the tuition charged for each semester, quarter or term of study. Tuition
 for each semester, quarter or term of study shall not  be  due  for  any
 student eligible to receive such tuition credit until the tuition credit
 is  calculated  and  applied  against the tuition charged for the corre-
 sponding semester, quarter or term.
   (ii) Commencing with the two thousand seventeen--two thousand eighteen
 academic year and ending in the two thousand twenty--two thousand  twen-

 S. 7506--A                         44                         A. 9506--A
 
 ty-one  academic year the state university of New York board of trustees
 shall be empowered  to  increase  the  resident  undergraduate  rate  of
 tuition  by  not  more than two hundred dollars over the resident under-
 graduate  rate  of tuition adopted by the board of trustees in the prior
 academic year, provided, however that if the annual resident undergradu-
 ate 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 this title, shall  be  applied  toward  the
 tuition charged for each semester, quarter or term of study. Tuition for
 each semester, quarter or term of study shall not be due for any student
 eligible  to  receive  such  tuition  credit until the tuition credit is
 calculated and applied against the tuition charged for the corresponding
 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  new  classroom  faculty,  instruction,  initiatives  to
 improve student success and on-time completion and a tuition credit  for
 each eligible student.
   (iii)  COMMENCING WITH THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-ONE--TWO THOUSAND TWEN-
 TY-TWO ACADEMIC YEAR AND ENDING IN  THE  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY-FOUR--TWO
 THOUSAND  TWENTY-FIVE  ACADEMIC  YEAR  THE  STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
 BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHALL BE EMPOWERED TO INCREASE THE RESIDENT UNDERGRAD-
 UATE RATE OF TUITION BY NO MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS OVER THE  RESI-
 DENT  UNDERGRADUATE  RATE OF TUITION ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN
 THE PRIOR ACADEMIC YEAR, PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT 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 THIS TITLE, SHALL BE APPLIED TOWARD
 THE TUITION CHARGED FOR EACH SEMESTER, QUARTER OR TERM OF STUDY. TUITION
 FOR  EACH  SEMESTER,  QUARTER  OR TERM OF STUDY SHALL NOT BE DUE FOR ANY
 STUDENT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE SUCH TUITION CREDIT UNTIL THE TUITION CREDIT
 IS CALCULATED AND APPLIED AGAINST THE TUITION  CHARGED  FOR  THE  CORRE-
 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 NEW CLASSROOM FACULTY,  INSTRUCTION,  INITIATIVES
 TO  IMPROVE  STUDENT SUCCESS AND ON-TIME COMPLETION AND A TUITION CREDIT
 FOR EACH ELIGIBLE STUDENT.
   (IV) On or before November thirtieth, two thousand  [seventeen]  TWEN-
 TY-ONE,  the  trustees  shall  approve  and  submit to the chairs of the
 assembly ways and means committee and the senate finance  committee  and
 to  the  director  of the budget a master tuition plan setting forth the

 ty-one] TWENTY-FIVE academic year, and shall submit any proposed  amend-
 ments  to such plan by November thirtieth of each subsequent year there-
 after through November thirtieth, two thousand [twenty] TWENTY-FOUR, and
 provided further, that with the approval of the board of trustees,  each
 university  center may increase non-resident undergraduate tuition rates

 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 or term of study shall not be
 due for any student eligible to receive such tuition  credit  until  the

 Tuition for each semester, quarter or term of study shall not be due for
 any  student  eligible  to receive such tuition credit until the tuition
 credit is calculated and applied against the  tuition  charged  for  the
 corresponding  semester,  quarter  or  term.  Provided, further that the
 revenue resulting from an increase in the rate of tuition shall be allo-
 cated to each campus pursuant to a plan approved by the board  of  trus-
 tees  to  support  investments  in  new  classroom faculty, instruction,
 initiatives to improve student success  and  on-time  completion  and  a
 tuition credit for each eligible student.

 ANY  STUDENT  ELIGIBLE  TO RECEIVE SUCH TUITION CREDIT UNTIL THE TUITION
 CREDIT IS CALCULATED AND APPLIED AGAINST THE  TUITION  CHARGED  FOR  THE

 eligible  to  have  shares  issued  to him OR HER by such corporation or
 except in trust to another individual who would be eligible  to  receive

 ation  of  law or by court decree.  No transferee of shares by operation
 of law or court decree may vote the shares for  any  purpose  whatsoever
 except  with  respect to corporate action under sections 909 and 1001 of

 there are other shareholders, a  majority  of  such  other  shareholders
 shall fail to redeem the shares so transferred, pursuant to section 1510
 of  this  article, within sixty days of receiving written notice of such
 transfer. Any sale or transfer, except by  operation  of  law  or  court
 decree  or  except for a corporation having only one shareholder, may be
 made only after the same shall have been approved by the board of direc-
 tors, or at a shareholders' meeting specially called for such purpose by
 such proportion, not less than a majority, of the outstanding shares  as
 may be provided in the certificate of incorporation or in the by-laws of
 such professional service corporation. At such shareholders' meeting the
 shares  held by the shareholder proposing to sell or transfer his OR HER
 shares may not be voted or counted for any purpose,  unless  all  share-

   § 14. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 1 of  section  440  of  the  family

   (a)  Any support order made by the court in any proceeding  under  the
 provisions  of  article five-B of this act, pursuant to a reference from
 the supreme court under section two hundred fifty-one  of  the  domestic
 relations law or under the provisions of article four, five or five-A of
 this  act  (i)  shall  direct that payments of child support or combined
 child and spousal support collected on behalf of persons in  receipt  of
 services pursuant to section one hundred eleven-g of the social services
 law,  or on behalf of persons in receipt of public assistance be made to
 the  support  collection  unit  designated  by  the  appropriate  social
 services  district,  which  shall receive and disburse funds so paid; or
 (ii) shall be enforced pursuant to subdivision (c) of section five thou-
 sand two hundred forty-two of the civil practice law and  rules  at  the
 same  time that the court issues an order of support; and (iii) shall in
 either case, except as provided for  herein,  be  effective  as  of  the
 earlier  of  the date of the filing of the petition therefor, or, if the
 children for whom support is sought are in receipt of public assistance,
 the date for which their eligibility for public  assistance  was  effec-
 tive.     Any  retroactive  amount  of  support  due  shall  be  support
 arrears/past due support and shall be paid in one sum or periodic  sums,
 as the court directs, and any amount of temporary support which has been
 paid to be taken into account in calculating any amount of such retroac-
 tive  support due.  In addition, such retroactive child support shall be
 enforceable in any manner provided by law including, but not limited to,
 an execution for support enforcement  pursuant  to  subdivision  (b)  of
 section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil practice law and rules.
 When  a child receiving support is a public assistance recipient, or the
 order of support is being enforced or is  to  be  enforced  pursuant  to
 section one hundred eleven-g of the social services law, the court shall
 establish the amount of retroactive child support and notify the parties
 that such amount shall be enforced by the support collection unit pursu-
 ant  to an execution for support enforcement as provided for in subdivi-
 sion (b) of section fifty-two hundred forty-one of  the  civil  practice
 law  and  rules, or in such periodic payments as would have been author-
 ized had such an execution been issued.  In such case, the  court  shall
 not direct the schedule of repayment of retroactive support.  Where such
 direction is for child support and [paternity] PARENTAGE has been estab-
 lished by a voluntary acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE as defined
 in section forty-one hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law, the
 court  shall  inquire of the parties whether the acknowledgment has been
 duly filed, and unless satisfied that it has been so filed shall require
 the clerk of the court to file such acknowledgment with the  appropriate

 S. 7506--A                         91                         A. 9506--A
 
 registrar  within  five business days.   The court shall not direct that
 support payments be made to  the  support  collection  unit  unless  the
 child,  who is the subject of the order, is in receipt of public assist-
 ance  or child support services pursuant to section one hundred eleven-g
 of the social services law.  Any such order shall be enforceable  pursu-
 ant  to  section fifty-two hundred forty-one or fifty-two hundred forty-
 two of the civil practice law and rules, or in any other manner provided
 by law.   Such orders or judgments for  child  support  and  maintenance
 shall  also  be  enforceable  pursuant to article fifty-two of the civil
 practice law and rules upon a debtor's default as such term  is  defined
 in  paragraph  seven  of  subdivision  (a)  of section fifty-two hundred
 forty-one of the civil practice law and rules.  The establishment  of  a
 default  shall be subject to the procedures established for the determi-
 nation of a mistake of fact for income executions pursuant  to  subdivi-
 sion  (e)  of  section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil practice
 law and rules. For the purposes of enforcement of child  support  orders
 or  combined  spousal  and child support orders pursuant to section five
 thousand two hundred forty-one of the civil practice law  and  rules,  a
 "default"  shall  be  deemed to include amounts arising from retroactive
 support.  Where permitted under federal law and where the record of  the
 proceedings  contains  such information, such order shall include on its
 face the social security number and the name and address of the  employ-
 er,  if  any,  of  the person chargeable with support provided, however,
 that failure to comply with this requirement shall not  invalidate  such
 order.
   § 15. Section 516-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter 398
 of  the laws of 1997, subdivisions (b) and (c) as amended by chapter 402
 of the laws of 2013, and subdivision (d) as amended by  chapter  343  of
 the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   §  516-a. Acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE.  (a) An acknowledg-
 ment of [paternity] PARENTAGE executed pursuant to section  one  hundred
 eleven-k of the social services law or section four thousand one hundred
 thirty-five-b  of  the public health law shall establish the [paternity]
 PARENTAGE of and liability for the support of a child pursuant  to  this
 act.  Such  acknowledgment must be reduced to writing and filed pursuant
 to section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public  health
 law  with  the registrar of the district in which the birth occurred and
 in which the birth certificate has been filed. No  further  judicial  or
 administrative  proceedings  are  required  to  ratify  an  unchallenged
 acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE.
   (b) (i) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of [paternity]  PARENT-
 AGE  executed  pursuant  to  section  one hundred eleven-k of the social
 services law or section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b  of  the
 public  health  law  had  attained  the  age  of eighteen at the time of
 execution of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to  rescind  the
 acknowledgment  by  filing  a  petition  with  the  court  to vacate the
 acknowledgment within the earlier of sixty days of the date  of  signing
 the  acknowledgment  or  the  date  of  an  administrative or a judicial
 proceeding (including, but not limited to, a proceeding to  establish  a
 support  order) relating to the child in which the signatory is a party.
 For purposes of this section, the "date of an administrative or a  judi-
 cial  proceeding"  shall be the date by which the respondent is required
 to answer the petition.
   (ii) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE
 executed pursuant to section one hundred eleven-k of the social services
 law  or  section  four  thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public

 S. 7506--A                         92                         A. 9506--A
 
 health law had not attained the age of eighteen at the time of execution
 of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to rescind the acknowledg-
 ment by filing a petition with the court to  vacate  the  acknowledgment
 anytime  up  to  sixty  days  after the signatory's attaining the age of
 eighteen years or sixty days after the date on which the  respondent  is
 required to answer a petition (including, but not limited to, a petition
 to  establish a support order) relating to the child in which the signa-
 tory is a party, whichever  is  earlier;  provided,  however,  that  the
 signatory  must have been advised at such proceeding of his or her right
 to file a petition to vacate the acknowledgment within sixty days of the
 date of such proceeding.
   (iii) Where a petition to  vacate  an  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE  has  been  filed  in accordance with paragraph (i) or (ii) of
 this subdivision, the court shall order  genetic  marker  tests  or  DNA
 tests  for  the  determination of the child's [paternity] PARENTAGE.  No
 such test shall be ordered, however, WHERE THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAS SIGNED
 BY THE INTENDED PARENT OF A CHILD  BORN  THROUGH  ASSISTED  REPRODUCTION
 PURSUANT  TO  SUBPARAGRAPH  (II)  OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF
 SECTION FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE-B  OF  THE  PUBLIC  HEALTH
 LAW,  OR  upon a written finding by the court that it is not in the best
 interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
 or the presumption of legitimacy of a child born to  a  married  [woman]
 PERSON. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is the [father] PARENT of the child, the court
 shall  make  a  finding  of  [paternity] PARENTAGE and enter an order of
 [filiation] PARENTAGE. If the  court  determines  that  the  person  who
 signed  the  acknowledgment is not the [father] PARENT of the child, the
 acknowledgment shall be vacated.
   (iv) After the expiration of the time limits set forth  in  paragraphs
 (i)  and (ii) of this subdivision, any of the signatories to an acknowl-
 edgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE may  challenge  the  acknowledgment  in
 court  by  alleging  and  proving  fraud, duress, or material mistake of
 fact. If the petitioner proves to the court that the  acknowledgment  of
 [paternity]  PARENTAGE was signed under fraud, duress, or due to a mate-
 rial mistake of fact, the court shall then order genetic marker tests or
 DNA tests for the determination of the  child's  [paternity]  PARENTAGE.
 No  such  test  shall  be ordered, however, WHERE THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAS
 SIGNED BY THE INTENDED PARENT OF A CHILD BORN THROUGH  ASSISTED  REPROD-
 UCTION PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE
 OF  SECTION FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE-B OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
 LAW, OR upon a written finding by the court that it is not in  the  best
 interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
 or  the  presumption  of legitimacy of a child born to a married [woman]
 PERSON. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is the [father] PARENT of the child, the court
 shall make a finding of [paternity] PARENTAGE  and  enter  an  order  of
 [filiation]  PARENTAGE.  If  the  court  determines  that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is not the [father] PARENT of the  child,  the
 acknowledgment shall be vacated.
   (v)  If,  at any time before or after a signatory has filed a petition
 to vacate an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE  pursuant  to  this
 subdivision,  the  signatory  dies  or becomes mentally ill or cannot be
 found within the state, neither the proceeding nor the right to commence
 the proceeding shall abate but may be commenced or continued by  any  of
 the persons authorized by this article to commence a [paternity] PARENT-
 AGE proceeding.

   (c) AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PARENTAGE IS VOID IF, AT THE TIME OF SIGNING,
 ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE:
   (I)  A  PERSON  OTHER THAN THE SIGNATORIES IS A PRESUMED PARENT OF THE
 CHILD PURSUANT TO SECTION TWENTY-FOUR OF THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS LAW;
   (II) A COURT HAS ENTERED A JUDGMENT OF PARENTAGE OF THE CHILD;
   (III) ANOTHER PERSON HAS SIGNED A VALID  ACKNOWLEDGMENT  OF  PARENTAGE
 WITH REGARD TO THE CHILD;
   (IV)  THE CHILD HAS A PARENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 581-303 OF THE FAMILY
 COURT ACT OTHER THAN THE SIGNATORIES;
   (V) A SIGNATORY IS A GAMETE DONOR UNDER SECTION 581-302 OF THE  FAMILY
 COURT ACT; OR
   (VI)  THE  ACKNOWLEDGMENT  IS SIGNED BY A PERSON WHO ASSERTS THAT THEY
 ARE A PARENT UNDER SECTION 581-303 OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT  OF  A  CHILD
 CONCEIVED THROUGH ASSISTED REPRODUCTION, BUT THE CHILD WAS NOT CONCEIVED
 THROUGH ASSISTED REPRODUCTION.
   (D)  Neither  signatory's  legal obligations, including the obligation
 for child support arising from  the  acknowledgment,  may  be  suspended
 during  the challenge to the acknowledgment except for good cause as the
 court may find. If the court vacates the acknowledgment  of  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE,  the  court  shall immediately provide a copy of the order to
 the registrar of the district in which the child's birth certificate  is
 filed  and  also to the putative father registry operated by the depart-
 ment of social services pursuant to section three hundred  seventy-two-c
 of  the  social services law. In addition, if the [mother] PARENT of the
 child who is the subject of the acknowledgment is in  receipt  of  child
 support  services pursuant to title six-A of article three of the social
 services law, the court shall immediately provide a copy of the order to
 the child support enforcement unit of the social services district  that
 provides the [mother] PARENT with such services.
   [(d)]  (E)  A determination of [paternity] PARENTAGE made by any other
 state, whether established through an administrative or judicial process
 or through an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE signed in  accord-
 ance  with  that  state's  laws,  must be accorded full faith and credit
 pursuant to section 466(a)(11) of title IV-D of the social security  act
 (42 U.S.C. § 666(a)(11)).
   (F) ANY REFERENCE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PATERNITY IN ANY LAW OF THIS
 STATE, OR ANY SIMILAR INSTRUMENT SIGNED IN ANOTHER STATE CONSISTENT WITH
 THE  LAW OF THAT STATE SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO MEAN AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
 PARENTAGE EXECUTED PURSUANT TO  SECTION  ONE  HUNDRED  ELEVEN-K  OF  THE
 SOCIAL  SERVICES LAW, SECTION FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE-B OF
 THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, OR SIGNED IN ANOTHER STATE  CONSISTENT  WITH  THE
 LAW OF THAT STATE.

   (b)  The  court  shall  also  direct  the local commissioner of social
 services to conduct an investigation to locate any  person  who  is  not
 recognized  to  be the child's legal parent and does not have the rights
 of a legal parent under the laws of the state of New York  but  who  (i)
 has  filed  with  a putative father registry an instrument acknowledging
 [paternity] PARENTAGE of the child, pursuant to  section  4-1.2  of  the
 estates,  powers  and  trusts  law,  or  (ii)  has a pending [paternity]
 PARENTAGE petition, or (iii) has been identified  as  a  parent  of  the
 child  by  the  child's  other  parent in a written sworn statement. The
 local commissioner of social services shall report the results  of  such

 ing or receiving services that the attorney  representing  or  appearing

   § 111-k.    Procedures  relating  to  acknowledgments  of  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE,  agreements  to  support,  and genetic tests.   1.   A social
 services official or his or her designated  representative  who  confers
 with  a  potential  respondent or respondent, hereinafter referred to in
 this  section  as  the  "respondent",  the mother of a child born out of
 wedlock and any  other  interested  persons,  pursuant  to  section  one
 hundred eleven-c of this title, may obtain:
   (a) an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE of a child, as provided
 for  in  article  five-B or section five hundred sixteen-a of the family
 court act, by a written statement, witnessed by two people  not  related
 to  the signator or as provided for in section four thousand one hundred
 thirty-five-b of the public health law. Prior to the execution  of  such
 acknowledgment  by  the child's mother and the respondent, they shall be
 advised, orally, which may be through the use of audio or  video  equip-
 ment,  and in writing, of the consequences of making such an acknowledg-
 ment. Upon the signing of an  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE
 pursuant  to  this  section,  the social services official or his or her
 representative shall file the original acknowledgment with  the  regist-
 rar.
   (b)  an agreement to make support payments as provided in section four
 hundred twenty-five of the family court act. Prior to the  execution  of
 such  agreement,  the  respondent shall be advised, orally, which may be
 through the use of audio or video equipment,  and  in  writing,  of  the
 consequences  of  such agreement, that the respondent can be held liable
 for support only if the family court, after a hearing, makes an order of
 support; that respondent has a right to consult  with  an  attorney  and
 that  the  agreement  will be submitted to the family court for approval
 pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the  family  court  act;
 and  that by executing the agreement, the respondent waives any right to
 a hearing regarding any matter contained in such agreement.
   2. (a) When the paternity of a child is contested, a  social  services
 official  or  designated representative may order the mother, the child,
 and the alleged father to submit to one or more genetic  marker  or  DNA
 tests  of  a type generally acknowledged as reliable by an accreditation
 body designated by the secretary of the federal department of health and
 human services and performed by a laboratory approved by such an accred-
 itation body and by the commissioner of health or by  a  duly  qualified
 physician  to  aid  in  the  determination of whether or not the alleged
 father is the father of the child.   The order may be  issued  prior  or
 subsequent  to  the  filing  of  a  petition with the court to establish
 paternity, shall be served on the parties by certified mail,  and  shall
 include a sworn statement which either (i) alleges [paternity] PARENTAGE
 and sets forth facts establishing a reasonable possibility of the requi-
 site  sexual  contact  between  the  parties, or (ii) denies [paternity]
 PARENTAGE and sets forth facts  establishing  a  reasonable  possibility
 that  the party is not the father.  The parties shall not be required to
 submit to the administration and analysis of such tests if they  sign  a
 voluntary  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE in accordance with
 paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section, or if there has been a
 written finding by the court that it is not in the best interests of the
 child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,  THE  CHILD  WAS
 CONCEIVED THROUGH ASSISTED REPRODUCTION or the presumption of legitimacy
 of a child born to a married [woman] PERSON.
   (b)  The record or report of the results of any such genetic marker or
 DNA test may be submitted to the family court as  evidence  pursuant  to
 subdivision  (e)  of rule forty-five hundred eighteen of the civil prac-

 S. 7506--A                         97                         A. 9506--A

 tice law and rules where no timely objection in writing  has  been  made
 thereto.
   (c)  The  cost  of  any test ordered pursuant to this section shall be
 paid by the social services district provided however, that the  alleged
 father  shall  reimburse  the district for the cost of such test at such
 time as the alleged father's [paternity] PARENTAGE is established  by  a
 voluntary  acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE or an order of filia-
 tion. If either party contests the results  of  genetic  marker  or  DNA
 tests,  an  additional  test  may be ordered upon written request to the
 social services district and advance payment by the requesting party.
   (d) The parties shall be required to submit to such tests  and  appear
 at  any conference scheduled by the social services official or designee
 to discuss the notice of the allegation of paternity or to  discuss  the
 results  of such tests.  If the alleged [father] GENETIC PARENT fails to
 appear at any such conference or fails to submit to such genetic  marker
 or  DNA  tests,  the social services official or designee shall petition
 the court to establish [paternity] PARENTAGE, provide the court  with  a
 copy  of  the  records  or reports of such tests if any, and request the
 court to issue an order for temporary support pursuant to  section  five
 hundred forty-two of the family court act.

 PARENTAGE involving claims of equitable  estoppel,  custody,  visitation

 violation of an order under subdivision three of  section  four  hundred
 fifty-four of this article and that recommends commitment shall be tran-
 smitted  to the parties, accompanied by findings of fact, but the deter-
 mination shall have no force and effect until confirmed by  a  judge  of
 the court.

 amended  by  chapter  574  of  the  laws of 1997, are amended to read as
 follows:
   1. In order to promote a spirit of patriotic  and  civic  service  and
 obligation  and  to foster in the children of the state moral and intel-
 lectual qualities which are essential in preparing  to  meet  the  obli-
 gations of citizenship in peace or in war, the regents of The University
 of  the  State  of  New  York  shall prescribe courses of instruction in
 patriotism, citizenship, CIVIC EDUCATION AND VALUES, OUR SHARED  HISTORY
 OF DIVERSITY, THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN THIS COUNTRY, and human
 rights  issues, with particular attention to the study of the inhumanity
 of genocide, slavery (including the freedom trail and underground  rail-
 road),  the  Holocaust,  and the mass starvation in Ireland from 1845 to
 1850, to be maintained and followed in all the schools of the state. The
 boards of education and  trustees  of  the  several  cities  and  school
 districts  of  the  state  shall require instruction to be given in such
 courses, by the teachers employed in the  schools  therein.  All  pupils
 attending  such  schools, over the age of eight years, shall attend upon
 such instruction.
   Similar courses of instruction shall be prescribed and  maintained  in
 private  schools in the state, and all pupils in such schools over eight
 years of age shall attend upon such courses. If such courses are not  so
 established and maintained in a private school, attendance upon instruc-
 tion  in  such  school  shall  not be deemed substantially equivalent to
 instruction given to pupils of like age in the  public  schools  of  the
 city or district in which such pupils reside.

 courses of instruction in patriotism, citizenship, CIVIC  EDUCATION  AND

 road), the Holocaust, and the mass starvation in Ireland  from  1845  to
 1850,  and  in  the  history,  meaning,  significance  and effect of the
 provisions of the constitution of  the  United  States,  the  amendments
 thereto,  the declaration of independence, the constitution of the state
 of New York and the amendments thereto, and the period of instruction in
 each of the grades in such subjects. They shall  adopt  rules  providing
 for  attendance  upon such instruction and for such other matters as are
 required for carrying into effect  the  objects  and  purposes  of  this

 section.  The  commissioner  shall be responsible for the enforcement of
 such section and shall cause to be inspected and supervise the  instruc-
 tion  to  be  given  in  such  subjects.  The  commissioner  may, in his
 discretion,  cause  all  or  a  portion of the public school money to be
 apportioned to a district or city to be  withheld  for  failure  of  the
 school  authorities  of  such district or city to provide instruction in
 such courses and to compel attendance upon such instruction,  as  herein
 prescribed,  and  for  a  non-compliance  with  the rules of the regents
 adopted as herein provided.

 tration shall be transmitted to the state division of housing and commu-
 nity renewal as follows: on or after April first of each year commencing

 the amount thereof is not paid to the commissioner, IN CONSULTATION WITH
 THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET, as herein prescribed, the  commissioner,  IN
 CONSULTATION  WITH  THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET, shall certify the unpaid
 amount to the comptroller, and the comptroller shall, to the extent  not

   d.  NOTWITHSTANDING  SUBDIVISION  C  OF  THIS  SECTION  OR  ANY  OTHER
 PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY, WHENEVER THE STATE  HAS  INCURRED  ANY
 COSTS  AS  A  RESULT  OF ADMINISTERING THE RENT REGULATION PROGRAM FOR A
 CITY HAVING A POPULATION OF ONE  MILLION  OR  MORE  IN  ACCORDANCE  WITH
 SUBDIVISION C OF THIS SECTION, ON OR AFTER APRIL FIRST OF EACH YEAR, THE
 COMMISSIONER  OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE

 DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET, SHALL DETERMINE AN AMOUNT  NECESSARY  TO  DEFRAY
 THE STATE'S ANTICIPATED ANNUAL COST. IN THE EVENT THAT THE DIVISION DOES
 NOT  SEND  A  BILL  TO  THE CITY TO DEFRAY SUCH COSTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
 SUBDIVISION  C  OF  THIS SECTION, IT SHALL SUBMIT TO THE CITY AN INVOICE
 SHOWING ALL SUCH COSTS AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AFTER  THE  START  OF  THE
 STATE FISCAL YEAR IN WHICH THE COSTS ARE TO BE INCURRED. THE DIRECTOR OF
 THE BUDGET MAY DIRECT ANY OTHER STATE AGENCY TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ANY
 OTHER  PAYMENT  OR PAYMENTS OWED TO SUCH CITY OR ANY DEPARTMENT, AGENCY,
 OR INSTRUMENTALITY THEREOF; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THAT SUCH REDUCTION  SHALL
 BE  MADE NO SOONER THAN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE TRANSMITTAL OF THE INVOICE
 OF COSTS, AND SHALL BE IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE COSTS INCURRED  BY  THE
 STATE  IN  ADMINISTERING  THE  RENT  REGULATION PROGRAM FOR SUCH CITY IN

 COSTS,  INCLUDING  ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHICH LOCAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENT
 WOULD BE REDUCED.  IF THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET MAKES SUCH DIRECTION IN

 PAYMENTS  REQUIRED BY SUBDIVISION C OF THIS SECTION, AND THE DIVISION OF
 HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL SHALL NOTIFY SUCH CITY IN WRITING OF  WHAT

 SION.
   E. The failure to pay the prescribed assessment not to  exceed  twenty
 dollars  per  unit  for any housing accommodation subject to this act or
 the New York city rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred  sixty-nine
 shall constitute a charge due and owing such city, town or village which
 has  imposed an annual charge for each such housing accommodation pursu-
 ant to subdivision b of this section. Any such  city,  town  or  village
 shall  be authorized to provide for the enforcement of the collection of
 such charges by commencing an action or proceeding for the  recovery  of
 such  fees  or  by  the filing of a lien upon the building and lot. Such
 methods for the enforcement of the collection of such charges  shall  be
 the sole remedy for the enforcement of this section.
   [e.] F. The division shall maintain at least one office in each county
 which  is  governed  by  the  rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred
 sixty-nine or this act; provided, however, that the division  shall  not
 be  required  to maintain an office in the counties of Nassau, Rockland,
 or Richmond.

   §  14.  Paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision 1 of section 440 of the family
 court act, as amended by chapter 398 of the laws of 1997, is amended  to
 read as follows:

 S. 7506--B                         72                         A. 9506--B
 
   (a)    Any support order made by the court in any proceeding under the
 provisions of article five-B of this act, pursuant to a  reference  from
 the  supreme  court  under section two hundred fifty-one of the domestic
 relations law or under the provisions of article four, five or five-A of
 this  act  (i)  shall  direct that payments of child support or combined
 child and spousal support collected on behalf of persons in  receipt  of
 services pursuant to section one hundred eleven-g of the social services
 law,  or on behalf of persons in receipt of public assistance be made to
 the  support  collection  unit  designated  by  the  appropriate  social
 services  district,  which  shall receive and disburse funds so paid; or
 (ii) shall be enforced pursuant to subdivision (c) of section five thou-
 sand two hundred forty-two of the civil practice law and  rules  at  the
 same  time that the court issues an order of support; and (iii) shall in
 either case, except as provided for  herein,  be  effective  as  of  the
 earlier  of  the date of the filing of the petition therefor, or, if the
 children for whom support is sought are in receipt of public assistance,
 the date for which their eligibility for public  assistance  was  effec-
 tive.     Any  retroactive  amount  of  support  due  shall  be  support
 arrears/past due support and shall be paid in one sum or periodic  sums,
 as the court directs, and any amount of temporary support which has been
 paid to be taken into account in calculating any amount of such retroac-
 tive  support due.  In addition, such retroactive child support shall be
 enforceable in any manner provided by law including, but not limited to,
 an execution for support enforcement  pursuant  to  subdivision  (b)  of
 section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil practice law and rules.
 When  a child receiving support is a public assistance recipient, or the
 order of support is being enforced or is  to  be  enforced  pursuant  to
 section one hundred eleven-g of the social services law, the court shall
 establish the amount of retroactive child support and notify the parties
 that such amount shall be enforced by the support collection unit pursu-
 ant  to an execution for support enforcement as provided for in subdivi-
 sion (b) of section fifty-two hundred forty-one of  the  civil  practice
 law  and  rules, or in such periodic payments as would have been author-
 ized had such an execution been issued.  In such case, the  court  shall
 not direct the schedule of repayment of retroactive support.  Where such
 direction is for child support and [paternity] PARENTAGE has been estab-
 lished by a voluntary acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE as defined
 in section forty-one hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law, the
 court  shall  inquire of the parties whether the acknowledgment has been
 duly filed, and unless satisfied that it has been so filed shall require
 the clerk of the court to file such acknowledgment with the  appropriate
 registrar  within  five business days.   The court shall not direct that
 support payments be made to  the  support  collection  unit  unless  the
 child,  who is the subject of the order, is in receipt of public assist-
 ance or child support services pursuant to section one hundred  eleven-g
 of  the social services law.  Any such order shall be enforceable pursu-
 ant to section fifty-two hundred forty-one or fifty-two  hundred  forty-
 two of the civil practice law and rules, or in any other manner provided
 by  law.    Such  orders  or judgments for child support and maintenance
 shall also be enforceable pursuant to article  fifty-two  of  the  civil
 practice  law  and rules upon a debtor's default as such term is defined
 in paragraph seven of  subdivision  (a)  of  section  fifty-two  hundred
 forty-one  of  the civil practice law and rules.  The establishment of a
 default shall be subject to the procedures established for the  determi-
 nation  of  a mistake of fact for income executions pursuant to subdivi-
 sion (e) of section fifty-two hundred forty-one of  the  civil  practice

 S. 7506--B                         73                         A. 9506--B
 
 law  and  rules. For the purposes of enforcement of child support orders
 or combined spousal and child support orders pursuant  to  section  five
 thousand  two  hundred  forty-one of the civil practice law and rules, a
 "default"  shall  be  deemed to include amounts arising from retroactive
 support.  Where permitted under federal law and where the record of  the
 proceedings  contains  such information, such order shall include on its
 face the social security number and the name and address of the  employ-
 er,  if  any,  of  the person chargeable with support provided, however,
 that failure to comply with this requirement shall not  invalidate  such
 order.
   § 15. Section 516-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter 398
 of  the laws of 1997, subdivisions (b) and (c) as amended by chapter 402
 of the laws of 2013, and subdivision (d) as amended by  chapter  343  of
 the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
   §  516-a. Acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE.  (a) An acknowledg-
 ment of [paternity] PARENTAGE executed pursuant to section  one  hundred
 eleven-k of the social services law or section four thousand one hundred
 thirty-five-b  of  the public health law shall establish the [paternity]
 PARENTAGE of and liability for the support of a child pursuant  to  this
 act.  Such  acknowledgment must be reduced to writing and filed pursuant
 to section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public  health
 law  with  the registrar of the district in which the birth occurred and
 in which the birth certificate has been filed. No  further  judicial  or
 administrative  proceedings  are  required  to  ratify  an  unchallenged
 acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE.
   (b) (i) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of [paternity]  PARENT-
 AGE  executed  pursuant  to  section  one hundred eleven-k of the social
 services law or section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b  of  the
 public  health  law  had  attained  the  age  of eighteen at the time of
 execution of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to  rescind  the
 acknowledgment  by  filing  a  petition  with  the  court  to vacate the
 acknowledgment within the earlier of sixty days of the date  of  signing
 the  acknowledgment  or  the  date  of  an  administrative or a judicial
 proceeding (including, but not limited to, a proceeding to  establish  a
 support  order) relating to the child in which the signatory is a party.
 For purposes of this section, the "date of an administrative or a  judi-
 cial  proceeding"  shall be the date by which the respondent is required
 to answer the petition.
   (ii) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE
 executed pursuant to section one hundred eleven-k of the social services
 law  or  section  four  thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public
 health law had not attained the age of eighteen at the time of execution
 of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to rescind the acknowledg-
 ment by filing a petition with the court to  vacate  the  acknowledgment
 anytime  up  to  sixty  days  after the signatory's attaining the age of
 eighteen years or sixty days after the date on which the  respondent  is
 required to answer a petition (including, but not limited to, a petition
 to  establish a support order) relating to the child in which the signa-
 tory is a party, whichever  is  earlier;  provided,  however,  that  the
 signatory  must have been advised at such proceeding of his or her right
 to file a petition to vacate the acknowledgment within sixty days of the
 date of such proceeding.
   (iii) Where a petition to  vacate  an  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE  has  been  filed  in accordance with paragraph (i) or (ii) of
 this subdivision, the court shall order  genetic  marker  tests  or  DNA
 tests  for  the  determination of the child's [paternity] PARENTAGE.  No

 S. 7506--B                         74                         A. 9506--B
 
 such test shall be ordered, however, WHERE THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WAS SIGNED
 BY THE INTENDED PARENT OF A CHILD  BORN  THROUGH  ASSISTED  REPRODUCTION
 PURSUANT  TO  SUBPARAGRAPH  (II)  OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF
 SECTION  FOUR  THOUSAND  ONE  HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE-B OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
 LAW, OR upon a written finding by the court that it is not in  the  best
 interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
 or  the  presumption  of legitimacy of a child born to a married [woman]
 PERSON. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is the [father] PARENT of the child, the court
 shall make a finding of [paternity] PARENTAGE  and  enter  an  order  of
 [filiation]  PARENTAGE.  If  the  court  determines  that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is not the [father] PARENT of the  child,  the
 acknowledgment shall be vacated.
   (iv)  After  the expiration of the time limits set forth in paragraphs
 (i) and (ii) of this subdivision, any of the signatories to an  acknowl-
 edgment  of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE  may challenge the acknowledgment in
 court by alleging and proving fraud,  duress,  or  material  mistake  of
 fact.  If  the petitioner proves to the court that the acknowledgment of
 [paternity] PARENTAGE was signed under fraud, duress, or due to a  mate-
 rial mistake of fact, the court shall then order genetic marker tests or
 DNA  tests  for  the determination of the child's [paternity] PARENTAGE.
 No such test shall be ordered, however,  WHERE  THE  ACKNOWLEDGMENT  WAS
 SIGNED  BY  THE INTENDED PARENT OF A CHILD BORN THROUGH ASSISTED REPROD-
 UCTION PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (II) OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE
 OF SECTION FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-FIVE-B OF THE PUBLIC  HEALTH
 LAW,  OR  upon a written finding by the court that it is not in the best
 interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
 or the presumption of legitimacy of a child born to  a  married  [woman]
 PERSON. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
 signed the acknowledgment is the [father] PARENT of the child, the court
 shall  make  a  finding  of  [paternity] PARENTAGE and enter an order of
 [filiation] PARENTAGE. If the  court  determines  that  the  person  who
 signed  the  acknowledgment is not the [father] PARENT of the child, the
 acknowledgment shall be vacated.
   (v) If, at any time before or after a signatory has filed  a  petition
 to  vacate  an  acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE pursuant to this
 subdivision, the signatory dies or becomes mentally  ill  or  cannot  be
 found within the state, neither the proceeding nor the right to commence
 the  proceeding  shall abate but may be commenced or continued by any of
 the persons authorized by this article to commence a [paternity] PARENT-
 AGE proceeding.
   (c) AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PARENTAGE IS VOID IF, AT THE TIME OF SIGNING,
 ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ARE TRUE:
   (I) A PERSON OTHER THAN THE SIGNATORIES IS A PRESUMED  PARENT  OF  THE
 CHILD PURSUANT TO SECTION TWENTY-FOUR OF THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS LAW;
   (II) A COURT HAS ENTERED A JUDGMENT OF PARENTAGE OF THE CHILD;
   (III)  ANOTHER  PERSON  HAS SIGNED A VALID ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PARENTAGE
 WITH REGARD TO THE CHILD;
   (IV) THE CHILD HAS A PARENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 581-303 OF THE  FAMILY
 COURT ACT OTHER THAN THE SIGNATORIES;
   (V)  A SIGNATORY IS A GAMETE DONOR UNDER SECTION 581-302 OF THE FAMILY
 COURT ACT; OR
   (VI) THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT IS SIGNED BY A PERSON WHO  ASSERTS  THAT  THEY
 ARE  A  PARENT  UNDER SECTION 581-303 OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT OF A CHILD

 estates,  powers  and  trusts  law,  or  (ii)  has a pending [paternity]
 PARENTAGE petition, or (iii) has been identified  as  a  parent  of  the

 investigation  to  the court and parties, including the attorney for the
 child.

   (2)  A non-marital child is the legitimate child of his father OR NON-
 GESTATING INTENDED PARENT so that he and his  issue  inherit  from  [his
 father and his paternal] SUCH PARENT AND SUCH PARENT'S kindred if:
   (A)  a court of competent jurisdiction has, during the lifetime of the
 father, made an order of filiation OR  PARENTAGE  declaring  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE  or  the  [mother  and  father]  PARENTAGE  of the child [have
 executed] HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE EXECUTION OF  an  acknowledg-
 ment  of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE  pursuant  to section four thousand one
 hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law,  which  has  been  filed

 been filed or;

 required to entitle a deed to be recorded in the presence of one or more
 witnesses and acknowledged by such witness or witnesses, in either case,
 before a notary public or other officer  authorized  to  take  proof  of
 deeds and
   (ii) such instrument is filed within sixty days from the making there-
 of with the putative father registry established by the state department
 of  social  services  pursuant to section three hundred seventy-two-c of
 the social services law, as added by chapter six hundred  sixty-five  of
 the laws of nineteen hundred seventy-six and

 an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE  instrument  acknowledged  or
 executed by such [father] PARENT has been duly filed or;

 evidence, which may include, but is not limited to: (i) evidence derived
 from  a  genetic  marker test, or (ii) evidence that the [father] PARENT
 openly and notoriously acknowledged the child as his OR HER own, however
 nothing  in  this  section  regarding  genetic  marker  tests  shall  be
 construed to expand or limit the current application of subdivision four
 of section forty-two hundred ten of the public health law.
   (3) The existence of an agreement obligating the father to support the
 non-marital  child  does  not qualify such child or his issue to inherit
 from the father in the absence of an order of filiation made or acknowl-
 edgement of [paternity] PARENTAGE as prescribed by subparagraph (2).
   (4) A motion for relief from an order of filiation may be made only by

 mother, maternal kindred, father and paternal kindred  inherit  and  are
 entitled  to  letters of administration as if the decedent was a marital
 child, provided that the father and  paternal  kindred  may  inherit  or
 obtain such letters only if the [paternity] PARENTAGE of the non-marital
 child has been established pursuant to any of the provisions of subpara-
 graph (2) of paragraph (a).

 the best interests of the  child,  in  accordance  with  procedures  and
 criteria  established  by  regulations of the department consistent with
 federal law.
   4. a. A social services  district  represents  the  interests  of  the

 shall  include, but are not limited to, establishing [paternity] PARENT-
 AGE, and establishing, modifying and enforcing child support orders.
   b. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provision of  child

 ing or receiving services that the attorney  representing  or  appearing
 for the district does not represent the individual and that the individ-
 ual has a right to retain his or her own legal counsel.
   c.  A  social  services district may appear in any action to establish
 [paternity] PARENTAGE, or to establish, modify, or enforce an  order  of
 support when an individual is receiving services under this title.

   § 111-k.    Procedures  relating  to  acknowledgments  of  [paternity]
 PARENTAGE,  agreements  to  support,  and genetic tests.   1.   A social
 services official or his or her designated  representative  who  confers
 with  a  potential  respondent or respondent, hereinafter referred to in
 this section as the "respondent", the mother of  a  child  born  out  of
 wedlock  and  any  other  interested  persons,  pursuant  to section one
 hundred eleven-c of this title, may obtain:
   (a) an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE of a child, as provided
 for in article five-B or section five hundred sixteen-a  of  the  family
 court  act,  by a written statement, witnessed by two people not related
 to the signator or as provided for in section four thousand one  hundred
 thirty-five-b  of  the public health law. Prior to the execution of such
 acknowledgment by the child's mother and the respondent, they  shall  be
 advised,  orally,  which may be through the use of audio or video equip-
 ment, and in writing, of the consequences of making such an  acknowledg-
 ment.  Upon  the  signing  of an acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE
 pursuant to this section, the social services official  or  his  or  her

 S. 7506--B                         78                         A. 9506--B
 
 representative  shall  file the original acknowledgment with the regist-
 rar.
   (b)  an agreement to make support payments as provided in section four
 hundred twenty-five of the family court act. Prior to the  execution  of
 such  agreement,  the  respondent shall be advised, orally, which may be
 through the use of audio or video equipment,  and  in  writing,  of  the
 consequences  of  such agreement, that the respondent can be held liable
 for support only if the family court, after a hearing, makes an order of
 support; that respondent has a right to consult  with  an  attorney  and
 that  the  agreement  will be submitted to the family court for approval
 pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the  family  court  act;
 and  that by executing the agreement, the respondent waives any right to
 a hearing regarding any matter contained in such agreement.
   2. (a) When the paternity of a child is contested, a  social  services
 official  or  designated representative may order the mother, the child,
 and the alleged father to submit to one or more genetic  marker  or  DNA
 tests  of  a type generally acknowledged as reliable by an accreditation
 body designated by the secretary of the federal department of health and
 human services and performed by a laboratory approved by such an accred-
 itation body and by the commissioner of health or by  a  duly  qualified
 physician  to  aid  in  the  determination of whether or not the alleged
 father is the father of the child.   The order may be  issued  prior  or
 subsequent  to  the  filing  of  a  petition with the court to establish
 paternity, shall be served on the parties by certified mail,  and  shall
 include a sworn statement which either (i) alleges [paternity] PARENTAGE
 and sets forth facts establishing a reasonable possibility of the requi-
 site  sexual  contact  between  the  parties, or (ii) denies [paternity]
 PARENTAGE and sets forth facts  establishing  a  reasonable  possibility
 that  the party is not the father.  The parties shall not be required to
 submit to the administration and analysis of such tests if they  sign  a
 voluntary  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]  PARENTAGE in accordance with
 paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section, or if there has been a
 written finding by the court that it is not in the best interests of the
 child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,  THE  CHILD  WAS
 CONCEIVED THROUGH ASSISTED REPRODUCTION or the presumption of legitimacy
 of a child born to a married [woman] PERSON.
   (b)  The record or report of the results of any such genetic marker or
 DNA test may be submitted to the family court as  evidence  pursuant  to
 subdivision  (e)  of rule forty-five hundred eighteen of the civil prac-
 tice law and rules where no timely objection in writing  has  been  made
 thereto.
   (c)  The  cost  of  any test ordered pursuant to this section shall be
 paid by the social services district provided however, that the  alleged
 father  shall  reimburse  the district for the cost of such test at such
 time as the alleged father's [paternity] PARENTAGE is established  by  a
 voluntary  acknowledgment of [paternity] PARENTAGE or an order of filia-
 tion. If either party contests the results  of  genetic  marker  or  DNA
 tests,  an  additional  test  may be ordered upon written request to the
 social services district and advance payment by the requesting party.
   (d) The parties shall be required to submit to such tests  and  appear
 at  any conference scheduled by the social services official or designee
 to discuss the notice of the allegation of paternity or to  discuss  the
 results  of such tests.  If the alleged [father] GENETIC PARENT fails to
 appear at any such conference or fails to submit to such genetic  marker
 or  DNA  tests,  the social services official or designee shall petition
 the court to establish [paternity] PARENTAGE, provide the court  with  a

 S. 7506--B                         79                         A. 9506--B

 court to issue an order for temporary support pursuant to  section  five
 hundred forty-two of the family court act.

 § 4-1.3 Inheritance by children conceived after the death of [a genetic]
           AN INTENDED parent
   (a)  When  used  in this article, unless the context or subject matter
 manifestly requires a different interpretation:
   (1) ["Genetic parent" shall mean a man who provides sperm or  a  woman
 who  provides ova used to conceive a child after the death of the man or
 woman.
   (2)] "Genetic material" shall mean sperm or ova provided by a  genetic
 parent.
   [(3)  "Genetic  child" shall mean a child of the sperm or ova provided
 by a genetic parent, but only if and when such child is born.]
   (2) "CHILD" SHALL MEAN A  CHILD  CONCEIVED  THROUGH  ASSISTED  REPROD-
 UCTION.
   (3)  "INTENDED  PARENT"  SHALL  HAVE  THE  SAME  MEANING AS DEFINED IN
 SECTION 581-102 OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT.
   (b) For purposes of this article, a genetic child is the child of  his
 or  her  [genetic] INTENDED parent or parents and, notwithstanding para-
 graph (c) of section 4-1.1 of this part, is a distributee of his or  her
 [genetic]  INTENDED  parent or parents and, notwithstanding subparagraph

 S. 7506--B                         83                         A. 9506--B
 
 (2) of paragraph (a) of section 2-1.3 of this chapter,  is  included  in
 any  disposition  of  property to persons described in any instrument of
 which [a genetic] AN INTENDED parent of the genetic child was the  crea-
 tor  as  the  issue, children, descendants, heirs, heirs at law, next of
 kin, distributees (or by any term of like import) of the creator  if  it
 is established that:
   (1)  the  [genetic]  INTENDED  parent in a written instrument executed
 pursuant to the provisions of this section not  more  than  seven  years
 before the death of the [genetic] INTENDED parent[:
   (A)] expressly consented [to the use of his or her genetic material to
 posthumously conceive his or her genetic child, and
   (B)]  THAT  IF  ASSISTED REPRODUCTION WERE TO OCCUR AFTER THE DEATH OF
 THE INTENDED PARENT, THE DECEASED INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE A  PARENT  OF  THE
 CHILD; AND
   (2)  THE CHILD WAS IN UTERO NO LATER THAN TWENTY-FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE
 INTENDED PARENT'S DEATH OR BORN NO LATER THAN THIRTY-THREE MONTHS  AFTER
 THE INTENDED PARENT'S DEATH.
   (C)  IF  THE  CHILD  WAS  CONCEIVED  USING THE GENETIC MATERIAL OF THE
 INTENDED PARENT, IT MUST FURTHER BE ESTABLISHED THAT:
   (1) THE INTENDED PARENT IN A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED  PURSUANT  TO
 THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS  SECTION  NOT MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE
 DEATH OF THE INTENDED PARENT authorized a person to make decisions about
 the use of the [genetic] INTENDED parent's genetic  material  after  the
 death of the [genetic] INTENDED parent;
   (2)  the person authorized in the written instrument to make decisions
 about the use of the [genetic] INTENDED parent's genetic  material  gave
 written  notice,  by  certified  mail,  return  receipt requested, or by
 personal delivery, that the [genetic] INTENDED parent's genetic material
 was available for the purpose of conceiving a  [genetic]  child  of  the
 [genetic] INTENDED parent, and such written notice was given;
   (A)  within  seven  months  from  the  date of the issuance of letters
 testamentary or  of  administration  on  the  estate  of  the  [genetic]
 INTENDED  parent, as the case may be, to the person to whom such letters
 have issued, or, if no letters have been issued within  four  months  of
 the death of the [genetic] INTENDED parent, and
   (B)  within seven months of the death of the [genetic] INTENDED parent
 to a distributee of the [genetic] INTENDED parent; AND
   (3) the person authorized in the written instrument to make  decisions
 about  the  use  of  the  [genetic]  INTENDED  parent's genetic material
 recorded the written instrument within seven  months  of  the  [genetic]
 INTENDED  parent's death in the office of the surrogate granting letters
 on the [genetic] INTENDED parent's estate, or, if no such  letters  have
 been  granted,  in  the  office  of the surrogate having jurisdiction to
 grant them[; and
   (4) the genetic child was in utero no later  than  twenty-four  months
 after  the  genetic  parent's  death  or born no later than thirty-three
 months after the genetic parent's death].
   [(c)] (D) The written instrument referred to in  subparagraph  (1)  of
 paragraph  (b)  of this section AND SUBPARAGRAPH (1) OF PARAGRAPH (C) OF
 THIS SECTION:
   (1) must be signed by the [genetic] INTENDED parent in the presence of
 two witnesses who also sign the instrument REFERRED TO  IN  SUBPARAGRAPH
 (1) OF PARAGRAPH (C) OF THIS SECTION, both of whom are at least eighteen
 years  of  age  and  neither  of  whom  is a person authorized under the

   (2)  may be revoked only by a written instrument signed by the [genet-
 ic] INTENDED parent and executed in the same manner as the instrument it
 revokes;

 [genetic] INTENDED parent;
   (4) AN INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO IN SUBPARAGRAPH (1) OF PARAGRAPH (C)  OF
 THIS  SECTION may authorize an alternate to make decisions about the use
 of the [genetic] INTENDED parent's genetic material if the first  person
 so  designated dies before the [genetic] INTENDED parent or is unable to
 exercise the authority granted; [and]
   (5) AN INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO IN SUBPARAGRAPH (1) OF PARAGRAPH (B)  OF
 THIS  SECTION  MAY  BE  SUBSTANTIALLY  IN THE FOLLOWING FORM AND MUST BE
 SIGNED AND DATED BY THE INTENDED PARENT AND PROPERLY WITNESSED:

 section  422 of the social services law, as amended by section 7 of part
 D of chapter 501 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:

 S. 7506--B                         89                         A. 9506--B
 
   Unless an investigation of a report conducted pursuant to  this  title
 THAT IS COMMENCED ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWEN-
 TY-ONE  determines  that  there is some credible evidence of the alleged
 abuse or maltreatment OR UNLESS AN INVESTIGATION OF A  REPORT  CONDUCTED
 PURSUANT  TO THIS TITLE THAT IS COMMENCED ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO
 THOUSAND TWENTY-TWO DETERMINES THAT THERE IS A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE
 EVIDENCE THAT THE ALLEGED ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT OCCURRED,  all  informa-
 tion  identifying  the subjects of the report and other persons named in
 the report shall be legally sealed forthwith by the central register and
 any local child protective services [or the state agency] which investi-
 gated the report. Such unfounded reports may only be unsealed  and  made
 available:
   §  4.  Paragraph  (c)  of  subdivision  5 of section 422 of the social
 services law, as added by chapter 555 of the laws of 2000, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the office of children
 and family services may, in its discretion, grant a request  to  expunge
 an unfounded report where: (i) the source of the report was convicted of
 a  violation  of subdivision three of section 240.55 of the penal law in
 regard to such report; or (ii) the subject of the report presents  clear
 and  convincing  evidence  that  affirmatively refutes the allegation of
 abuse or maltreatment; provided however, that the absence of  [credible]
 A  FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence supporting the allegation of abuse
 or maltreatment shall not be the sole basis to expunge the report. Noth-
 ing in this paragraph shall require the office of  children  and  family
 services  to  hold  an  administrative  hearing  in  deciding whether to
 expunge a report. Such office shall make its determination upon  review-
 ing  the written evidence submitted by the subject of the report and any
 records or information obtained from the state  or  local  agency  which
 investigated the allegations of abuse or maltreatment.
   §  5.  Subparagraphs  (ii),  (iii),  (iv)  and (v) of paragraph (a) of
 subdivision 8 of section 422 of the social  services  law,  subparagraph
 (ii)  as  amended  by  chapter 323 of the laws of 2008 and subparagraphs
 (iii), (iv) and (v) as amended by chapter 12 of the laws  of  1996,  are
 amended to read as follows:
   (ii)  Upon  receipt  of a request to amend the record of a child abuse
 and maltreatment report the office of children and family services shall
 immediately send a written request to the child protective  service  [or
 the  state  agency]  which was responsible for investigating the allega-
 tions of abuse or maltreatment for all records, reports and other infor-
 mation maintained by the service [or state agency]  pertaining  to  such
 indicated  report.  WHERE  A  PROCEEDING  PURSUANT TO ARTICLE TEN OF THE
 FAMILY COURT ACT BASED ON THE SAME ALLEGATIONS THAT  WERE  INDICATED  IS
 PENDING,  THE  REQUEST TO AMEND SHALL BE STAYED UNTIL THE DISPOSITION OF
 SUCH FAMILY COURT PROCEEDING. The service [or  state  agency]  shall  as
 expeditiously as possible but within no more than twenty working days of
 receiving  such request, forward all records, reports and other informa-
 tion it maintains on such indicated report to the office of children and
 family services, INCLUDING A COPY OF ANY PETITION OR COURT  ORDER  BASED
 ON  THE  ALLEGATIONS  THAT WERE INDICATED.  [The] UNLESS SUCH REQUEST TO
 AMEND HAS BEEN STAYED, THE office of children and family services  shall
 as  expeditiously  as  possible  but within no more than fifteen working
 days of receiving such materials from the child  protective  service  or
 state agency, review all such materials in its possession concerning the
 indicated  report  and determine, after affording such service [or state
 agency] a reasonable opportunity to present its views, whether there  is

 S. 7506--B                         90                         A. 9506--B
 
 a  fair preponderance of the evidence to find that the subject committed
 the act or acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the  indi-
 cated report and whether, based on guidelines developed by the office of
 children  and  family  services  pursuant to subdivision five of section
 four hundred twenty-four-a of this title, such  act  or  acts  could  be
 relevant  and  reasonably  related  to  employment of the subject of the
 report by a provider agency, as defined by subdivision three of  section
 four  hundred  twenty-four-a  of  this title, or relevant and reasonably
 related to the subject of the report being allowed to have  regular  and
 substantial  contact with children who are cared for by a provider agen-
 cy, or relevant and reasonably related to the approval or disapproval of
 an application submitted by the subject of the  report  to  a  licensing
 agency,  as  defined by subdivision four of section four hundred twenty-
 four-a of this title.
   (iii) If it is determined at the review held pursuant  to  this  para-
 graph  [(a)] that there is [no credible] NOT A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE
 evidence in the record to find that the subject committed an act or acts
 of child abuse or maltreatment, the [department] OFFICE OF CHILDREN  AND
 FAMILY  SERVICES  shall  amend the record to indicate that the report is
 "unfounded" and notify the subject forthwith.
   (iv) If it is determined at the review held pursuant to this paragraph
 [(a)] that there is [some credible] A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence
 in the record to find that the subject committed such act  or  acts  but
 that  such  act  or acts could not be relevant and reasonably related to
 the employment of the subject by a provider agency  or  to  the  subject
 being  allowed to have regular and substantial contact with children who
 are cared for by a provider agency or the approval or disapproval of  an
 application which could be submitted by the subject to a licensing agen-
 cy,  the  [department]  OFFICE  OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall be
 precluded from informing a provider or licensing agency which  makes  an
 inquiry  to  [the  department] SUCH OFFICE pursuant to the provisions of
 section four hundred twenty-four-a of this title concerning the  subject
 that  the  person  about  whom  the inquiry is made is the subject of an
 indicated report of child abuse or maltreatment. The [department] OFFICE
 OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall notify forthwith  the  subject  of
 the report of such determinations and that a fair hearing has been sche-
 duled  pursuant  to paragraph (b) of this subdivision. The sole issue at
 such hearing shall be whether the subject has been shown by [some credi-
 ble] A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence to have committed the  act  or
 acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the indicated report.
   (v)  If it is determined at the review held pursuant to this paragraph
 [(a)] that there is [some credible] A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence
 in the record to prove that the subject committed  an  act  or  acts  of
 child  abuse or maltreatment and that such act or acts could be relevant
 and reasonably related to the employment of the subject  by  a  provider
 agency  or  to the subject being allowed to have regular and substantial
 contact with children cared for by a provider agency or the approval  or
 disapproval of an application which could be submitted by the subject to
 a  licensing  agency,  the  [department]  OFFICE  OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY
 SERVICES shall notify forthwith the subject of the report of such deter-
 minations and that a fair hearing has been scheduled pursuant  to  para-
 graph (b) of this subdivision.
   §  6.  Subparagraph  (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 8 of section
 422 of the social services law, as amended by chapter 12 of the laws  of
 1996, is amended to read as follows:

 S. 7506--B                         91                         A. 9506--B
 
   (ii)  The  burden  of  proof  in  such a hearing shall be on the child
 protective service [or the state agency] which investigated the report[,
 as the case may be].  In such a hearing, [the fact that there is]  WHERE
 a  family  court  [finding of] PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ARTICLE TEN OF THE
 FAMILY COURT ACT HAS OCCURRED AND WHERE THE PETITION FOR SUCH PROCEEDING
 ALLEGES  THAT A RESPONDENT IN THAT PROCEEDING COMMITTED abuse or neglect
 against the subject CHILD in regard to an allegation contained in  [the]
 A  report  INDICATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION: (A) WHERE THE COURT FINDS
 THAT SUCH RESPONDENT DID COMMIT ABUSE OR NEGLECT THERE shall [create] BE
 an irrebuttable presumption IN A FAIR  HEARING  HELD  PURSUANT  TO  THIS
 SUBDIVISION  that  said allegation is substantiated by [some credible] A
 FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence AS TO THAT RESPONDENT ON THAT ALLEGA-
 TION; AND (B) WHERE SUCH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE WITHDRAWS  SUCH  PETI-
 TION  WITH PREJUDICE, WHERE THE FAMILY COURT DISMISSES SUCH PETITION, OR
 WHERE THE FAMILY COURT FINDS ON THE MERITS IN FAVOR OF  THE  RESPONDENT,
 THERE SHALL BE AN IRREBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION IN A FAIR HEARING HELD PURSU-
 ANT  TO  THIS SUBDIVISION THAT SAID ALLEGATION AS TO THAT RESPONDENT HAS
 NOT BEEN PROVEN BY A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE.
   § 7. Subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (c) of subdivision  8  of
 section  422 of the social services law, as amended by chapter 12 of the
 laws of 1996, and the opening paragraph of subparagraph (ii) as  amended
 by chapter 323 of the laws of 2008, are amended to read as follows:
   (i)  If  it is determined at the fair hearing that there is [no credi-
 ble] NOT A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence in the record to find that
 the subject committed an act or acts of child abuse or maltreatment, the
 [department] OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND  FAMILY  SERVICES  shall  amend  the
 record  to  reflect  that  such a finding was made at the administrative
 hearing, order any child protective  service  [or  state  agency]  which
 investigated  the  report  to similarly amend its records of the report,
 and shall notify the subject forthwith of the determination.
   (ii) Upon a determination made at a fair hearing  [held  on  or  after
 January  first,  nineteen  hundred eighty-six] scheduled pursuant to the
 provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision that
 the subject has been shown by a fair preponderance of  the  evidence  to
 have  committed  the  act  or acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving
 rise to the indicated report, the hearing officer shall determine, based
 on guidelines developed by the office of children  and  family  services
 pursuant  to  subdivision  five of section four hundred twenty-four-a of
 this title, whether such act or acts are relevant and reasonably related
 to employment of the subject by a provider agency, as defined by  subdi-
 vision  three  of  section  four hundred twenty-four-a of this title, or
 relevant and reasonably related to the subject  being  allowed  to  have
 regular  and  substantial  contact  with children who are cared for by a
 provider agency or relevant and reasonably related to  the  approval  or
 disapproval  of  an  application submitted by the subject to a licensing
 agency, as defined by subdivision four of section four  hundred  twenty-
 four-a of this title.
   Upon  a  determination  made at a fair hearing that the act or acts of
 abuse or maltreatment are relevant and reasonably related to  employment
 of the subject by a provider agency or the subject being allowed to have
 regular  and  substantial  contact  with children who are cared for by a
 provider agency or the approval or denial of an application submitted by
 the subject to a licensing agency, the [department] OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN
 AND FAMILY SERVICES shall notify the subject forthwith. The [department]
 OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN  AND  FAMILY  SERVICES  shall  inform a provider or
 licensing agency which makes an inquiry to [the department] SUCH  OFFICE

 S. 7506--B                         92                         A. 9506--B
 
 pursuant to the provisions of section four hundred twenty-four-a of this
 title  concerning  the subject that the person about whom the inquiry is
 made is the subject of an indicated child abuse or maltreatment report.
   The  failure  to determine at the fair hearing that the act or acts of
 abuse and maltreatment  are  relevant  and  reasonably  related  to  the
 employment  of  the subject by a provider agency or to the subject being
 allowed to have regular and substantial contact with  children  who  are
 cared  for by a provider agency or the approval or denial of an applica-
 tion submitted by the subject to a licensing agency shall  preclude  the
 [department]  OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN  AND FAMILY SERVICES from informing a
 provider or licensing agency which makes an inquiry to [the  department]
 SUCH  OFFICE  pursuant to the provisions of section four hundred twenty-
 four-a of this title concerning the subject that the person  about  whom
 the  inquiry  is  made  is  the  subject  of an indicated child abuse or
 maltreatment report.
   § 8. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 8  of  section  422  of  the  social
 services  law, as added by chapter 12 of the laws of 1996, is amended to
 read as follows:
   (e) Should the [department] OFFICE OF  CHILDREN  AND  FAMILY  SERVICES
 grant the request of the subject of the report pursuant to this subdivi-
 sion either through an administrative review or fair hearing to amend an
 indicated  report  to  an unfounded report[. Such], SUCH report shall be
 legally sealed and shall be released and expunged in accordance with the
 standards set forth in subdivision five of this section.
   § 9. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 1 of section  424-a  of  the  social
 services  law,  as  amended by chapter 634 of the laws of 1988, subpara-
 graphs (i), (ii) and (iii) as amended by chapter 12 of the laws of 1996,
 and subparagraph (iv) as amended by section 8-a of part D of chapter 501
 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
   (e) (i) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of  this  para-
 graph,  the  [department]  OFFICE  OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall
 inform the provider or licensing agency,  or  child  care  resource  and
 referral programs pursuant to subdivision six of this section whether or
 not  the person is the subject of an indicated child abuse and maltreat-
 ment report only if:
   [(a)] (A) (I) the time for the subject of the  report  to  request  an
 amendment  of  the record of the report pursuant to subdivision eight of
 section four hundred twenty-two has expired  without  any  such  request
 having been made; or
   [(b)](II)  such  request  was made within such time and a fair hearing
 regarding the request has been finally determined  by  the  commissioner
 and  the record of the report has not been amended to unfound the report
 or delete the person as a subject of the report; AND
   (B) (I) THE PERSON IS THE SUBJECT OF  AN  INDICATED  REPORT  OF  CHILD
 ABUSE; OR
   (II)  THE  PERSON  IS  NOT THE SUBJECT OF AN INDICATED REPORT OF CHILD
 ABUSE AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A REPORT OF  CHILD  MALTREATMENT  WHERE  THE
 INDICATION  FOR CHILD MALTREATMENT OCCURRED WITHIN LESS THAN EIGHT YEARS
 FROM THE DATE OF THE INQUIRY.
   (ii) If the subject of an indicated report of child abuse or maltreat-
 ment has not requested an amendment of the record of the report  [within
 the  time specified in subdivision eight of section four hundred twenty-
 two of this title or if the subject had a fair hearing pursuant to  such
 section  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen hundred eighty-six] and an
 inquiry is made to  the  [department]  OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN  AND  FAMILY
 SERVICES  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  concerning the subject of the

 S. 7506--B                         93                         A. 9506--B
 
 report, [the department] SUCH OFFICE shall, as expeditiously as possible
 but within no more than ten working days  of  receipt  of  the  inquiry,
 determine  whether, in fact, the person about whom an inquiry is made is
 the subject of an indicated report. Upon making a determination that the
 person  about  whom  the  inquiry is made is the subject of an indicated
 report of child abuse and maltreatment, the [department] OFFICE OF CHIL-
 DREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall immediately send a written request to the
 child protective service or  state  agency  which  was  responsible  for
 investigating  the allegations of abuse or maltreatment for all records,
 reports and other information maintained by the service or state  agency
 on  the  subject. The service or state agency shall, as expeditiously as
 possible but within no more than twenty working days of  receiving  such
 request, forward all records, reports and other information it maintains
 on the indicated report to the [department] OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMI-
 LY  SERVICES,  INCLUDING  A COPY OF ANY PETITION OR COURT ORDER BASED ON
 THE ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE INDICATED.  [The department] WHERE A  PROCEED-
 ING  PURSUANT TO ARTICLE TEN OF THE FAMILY COURT ACT IS PENDING BASED ON
 THE SAME ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE INDICATED, THE  OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN  AND
 FAMILY  SERVICES  SHALL  STAY  DETERMINATION  OF WHETHER THERE IS A FAIR
 PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE INDICATION UNTIL THE DISPO-
 SITION OF SUCH FAMILY COURT PROCEEDING. UNLESS  SUCH  DETERMINATION  HAS
 BEEN  STAYED,  THE  OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall, within
 fifteen working days of receiving such records, reports and other infor-
 mation from the child protective service or  state  agency,  review  all
 records,  reports and other information in its possession concerning the
 subject and determine whether there is [some credible] A FAIR PREPONDER-
 ANCE OF THE evidence to find that the subject had committed the  act  or
 acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the indicated report.
   (iii) If it is determined, after affording such service or state agen-
 cy  a  reasonable  opportunity  to  present its views, that there is [no
 credible] NOT A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence in the record to find
 that the subject committed such act or acts, the [department] OFFICE  OF
 CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES shall amend the record to indicate that the
 report  was  unfounded  and  notify  the inquiring party that the person
 about whom the inquiry is made  is  not  the  subject  of  an  indicated
 report.  [If  the  subject  of the report had a fair hearing pursuant to
 subdivision eight of section four hundred twenty-two of this title prior
 to January first, nineteen hundred eighty-six and the fair  hearing  had
 been finally determined by the commissioner and the record of the report
 had  not  been  amended  to unfound the report or delete the person as a
 subject of the report, then the department shall determine that there is
 some credible evidence to find that the subject had committed the act or
 acts of child  abuse  or  maltreatment  giving  rise  to  the  indicated
 report.]
   (iv)  (A)  If  it  is  determined  after a review by the office of all
 records, reports  and  information  in  its  possession  concerning  the
 subject  of  the report that there is a preponderance of the evidence to
 find that the subject committed the  act  or  acts  of  child  abuse  or
 maltreatment  giving rise to the indicated report, the office shall also
 determine whether such act or acts are relevant and  reasonably  related
 to  issues concerning the employment of the subject by a provider agency
 or the subject being allowed to have  regular  and  substantial  contact
 with  individuals  cared  for  by  a  provider agency or the approval or
 disapproval of an application which has been submitted by the subject to
 a licensing agency, based on guidelines developed pursuant  to  subdivi-
 sion five of this section. If it is determined that such act or acts are

 S. 7506--B                         94                         A. 9506--B
 
 not  relevant  and related to such issues, the office shall be precluded
 from informing the provider or licensing agency which made  the  inquiry
 to  the  office  pursuant to this section that the person about whom the
 inquiry  is made is the subject of an indicated report of child abuse or
 maltreatment.
   (B) WHERE THE SUBJECT OF THE REPORT IS NOT THE SUBJECT  OF  ANY  INDI-
 CATED  REPORT  OF  CHILD  ABUSE  AND IS THE SUBJECT OF A REPORT OF CHILD
 MALTREATMENT WHERE THE INDICATION FOR CHILD MALTREATMENT  OCCURRED  MORE
 THAN  EIGHT  YEARS PRIOR TO THE DATE OF THE INQUIRY, ANY SUCH INDICATION
 OF CHILD MALTREATMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE NOT RELEVANT AND  REASONABLY
 RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT.
   (v)  If  it is determined after a review by the [department] OFFICE OF
 CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES of all records, reports and information  in
 its  possession concerning the subject of the report that there is [some
 credible] A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE evidence to prove that the subject
 committed the act or acts of abuse or maltreatment giving  rise  to  the
 indicated  report [and that such act or acts are relevant and reasonably
 related to issues concerning the employment of the subject by a provider
 agency or to the subject being allowed to have regular  and  substantial
 contact  with children cared for by a provider agency or the approval or
 disapproval of an application which has been submitted by the subject to
 a licensing agency, the department shall inform the inquiring party that
 the person about whom the inquiry is made is the subject of an indicated
 report of child abuse and maltreatment; the department shall also notify
 the subject of the inquiry of his or her  fair  hearing  rights  granted
 pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision two of this section] THE OFFICE
 OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL NOTIFY THE SUBJECT OF THE DETERMI-
 NATION OF SUCH REPORT AND OF THE SUBJECT'S RIGHT TO REQUEST A FAIR HEAR-
 ING.  IF THE SUBJECT SHALL REQUEST A HEARING, THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND
 FAMILY SERVICES SHALL SCHEDULE A FAIR HEARING AND SHALL  PROVIDE  NOTICE
 OF  THE  SCHEDULED  HEARING  DATE  TO THE SUBJECT, THE STATEWIDE CENTRAL
 REGISTER AND, AS APPROPRIATE, TO  THE  CHILD  PROTECTIVE  SERVICE  WHICH
 INVESTIGATED SUCH REPORT.
   (VI)  THE  BURDEN  OF  PROOF  IN  SUCH A HEARING SHALL BE ON THE CHILD
 PROTECTIVE SERVICE WHICH INVESTIGATED THE REPORT.  IN  SUCH  A  HEARING,
 WHERE  A  FAMILY  COURT PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ARTICLE TEN OF THE FAMILY
 COURT ACT HAS OCCURRED  AND  WHERE  THE  PETITION  FOR  SUCH  PROCEEDING
 ALLEGES  THAT  A  RESPONDENT  IN  THAT  PROCEEDING  COMMITTED  ABUSE  OR
 MALTREATMENT AGAINST THE  SUBJECT  CHILD  IN  REGARD  TO  AN  ALLEGATION
 CONTAINED  IN A REPORT INDICATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION: (A) WHERE THE
 COURT FINDS THAT SUCH RESPONDENT DID COMMIT ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT  THERE
 SHALL  BE AN IRREBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION IN A FAIR HEARING HELD PURSUANT TO
 THIS SUBDIVISION THAT SAID ALLEGATION IS SUBSTANTIATED BY A FAIR PREPON-
 DERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE AS TO THAT RESPONDENT ON  THAT  ALLEGATION;  AND
 (B)  WHERE  SUCH  CHILD  PROTECTIVE SERVICE WITHDRAWS SUCH PETITION WITH
 PREJUDICE, WHERE THE FAMILY COURT DISMISSES SUCH PETITION, OR WHERE  THE
 FAMILY COURT FINDS ON THE MERITS IN FAVOR OF THE RESPONDENT, THERE SHALL
 BE  AN  IRREBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION IN A FAIR HEARING HELD PURSUANT TO THIS
 SUBDIVISION THAT SAID ALLEGATION AS TO  THAT  RESPONDENT  HAS  NOT  BEEN
 PROVEN BY A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE.
   (VII)  IF  IT SHALL BE DETERMINED AT THE FAIR HEARING THAT THERE IS NO
 FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE  IN  THE  RECORD  TO  FIND  THAT  THE
 SUBJECT  COMMITTED  AN  ACT  OR ACTS OF CHILD ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT, THE
 OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL AMEND THE RECORD AS TO THAT
 RESPONDENT ON THAT ALLEGATION TO REFLECT THAT SUCH A FINDING WAS MADE AT
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING, ORDER ANY  CHILD  PROTECTIVE  SERVICE  WHICH

 S. 7506--B                         95                         A. 9506--B
 
 INVESTIGATED  THE  REPORT  AS  TO THAT RESPONDENT TO SIMILARLY AMEND ITS
 RECORDS OF SUCH REPORT, NOTIFY THE SUBJECT  OF  THE  DETERMINATION,  AND
 NOTIFY  THE  INQUIRING PARTY THAT THE PERSON ABOUT WHOM SUCH INQUIRY WAS
 MADE IS NOT THE SUBJECT OF AN INDICATED REPORT ON THAT ALLEGATION.
   (VIII)  UPON  A DETERMINATION AT THE FAIR HEARING THAT THE SUBJECT HAS
 BEEN SHOWN, BY A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE  TO  HAVE  COMMITTED
 THE  ACT OR ACTS OF CHILD ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT GIVING RISE TO THE INDI-
 CATED REPORT, THE HEARING OFFICER SHALL DETERMINE, BASED  ON  GUIDELINES
 DEVELOPED  BY  THE  OFFICE  OF  CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES PURSUANT TO
 SUBDIVISION FIVE OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SUCH ACT OR ACTS ARE  RELEVANT
 AND  REASONABLY RELATED TO THE SUBJECT BEING ALLOWED TO HAVE REGULAR AND
 SUBSTANTIAL CONTACT WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE CARED FOR BY A PROVIDER AGENCY
 AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION, OR RELEVANT AND REASON-
 ABLY RELATED TO THE APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION  SUBMITTED
 BY  THE  SUBJECT TO A LICENSING AGENCY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION FOUR OF
 THIS SECTION.
   (IX) UPON A DETERMINATION MADE AT A FAIR HEARING THAT THE ACT OR  ACTS
 OF  ABUSE  OR  MALTREATMENT  ARE  RELEVANT AND REASONABLY RELATED TO THE
 EMPLOYMENT OF THE SUBJECT BY A PROVIDER AGENCY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION
 THREE OF THIS SECTION, THE SUBJECT BEING ALLOWED  TO  HAVE  REGULAR  AND
 SUBSTANTIAL CONTACT WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE CARED FOR BY A PROVIDER AGENCY
 AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION, OR RELEVANT AND REASON-
 ABLY  RELATED TO THE APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION SUBMITTED
 BY THE SUBJECT TO A LICENSING AGENCY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION  FOUR  OF
 THIS  SECTION,  THE  OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL NOTIFY
 THE SUBJECT AND SHALL INFORM THE INQUIRING PARTY THAT THE  PERSON  ABOUT
 WHOM  SUCH  INQUIRY  WAS  MADE  IS THE SUBJECT OF AN INDICATED REPORT OF
 CHILD ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT.
   (X) THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE AT THE FAIR HEARING THAT THE ACT OR  ACTS
 OF  ABUSE  OR  MALTREATMENT  ARE  RELEVANT AND REASONABLY RELATED TO THE
 EMPLOYMENT OF THE SUBJECT BY A PROVIDER AGENCY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION
 THREE OF THIS SECTION, THE SUBJECT BEING ALLOWED  TO  HAVE  REGULAR  AND
 SUBSTANTIAL CONTACT WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE CARED FOR BY A PROVIDER AGENCY
 AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION, OR RELEVANT AND REASON-
 ABLY  RELATED TO THE APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION SUBMITTED

 THIS  SECTION, SHALL PRECLUDE THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES
 FROM INFORMING A PROVIDER AGENCY AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS
 SECTION OR LICENSING AGENCY AS  DEFINED  IN  SUBDIVISION  FOUR  OF  THIS
 SECTION  THAT SUCH PERSON IS THE SUBJECT OF AN INDICATED REPORT OF CHILD
 ABUSE OR MALTREATMENT ON THAT ALLEGATION.
   § 10. Section 651-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter  12
 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows:
   §  651-a.  Reports  of child abuse and maltreatment; admissibility. In
 any proceeding brought pursuant to this section to determine the custody
 or visitation of minors, a report made to the statewide central register
 of child abuse and maltreatment, pursuant to title six of article six of
 the social services law, or a portion thereof, which is otherwise admis-
 sible as a business record pursuant to rule forty-five hundred  eighteen
 of the civil practice law and rules shall not be admissible in evidence,
 notwithstanding  such  rule,  unless  an  investigation  of  such report
 conducted pursuant to title six of article six of  the  social  services
 law  COMMENCED  ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-
 ONE has determined that there is some credible evidence of  the  alleged
 abuse  or  maltreatment,  OR  UNLESS  AN  INVESTIGATION  OF  SUCH REPORT
 CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO TITLE SIX OF ARTICLE SIX OF  THE  SOCIAL  SERVICES

 S. 7506--B                         96                         A. 9506--B
 
 LAW  COMMENCED ON OR AFTER JANUARY FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY-TWO DETER-
 MINES THAT THERE IS A FAIR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE OF THE  ALLEGED
 ABUSE  OR MALTREATMENT, that the subject of the report has been notified
 that  the  report  is  indicated.  In  addition, if such report has been
 reviewed by the state commissioner of social services  or  his  designee
 and  has  been determined to be unfounded, it shall not be admissible in
 evidence. If such report has been so reviewed and has  been  amended  to
 delete  any  finding, each such deleted finding shall not be admissible.
 If the state commissioner of social services or his designee has amended
 the report to add any new finding, each such new finding, together  with
 any  portion  of  the original report not deleted by the commissioner or
 his designee, shall be admissible if it meets the other requirements  of
 this section and is otherwise admissible as a business record. If such a
 report,  or  portion thereof, is admissible in evidence but is uncorrob-
 orated, it shall not be sufficient to make a fact finding  of  abuse  or

 aside  and  reserved  by the commissioner from the regional pools estab-
 lished pursuant to subdivision two  of  this  section  to  be  allocated
 regionally  with  two-thirds  of the available funding going to New York
 city  and  one-third  of  the available funding going to the rest of the

   Distributions shall first be made to consortia  and  teaching  general
 hospitals  for the empire clinical research investigator program (ECRIP)
 to help secure federal funding for biomedical research,  train  clinical
 researchers,  recruit national leaders as faculty to act as mentors, and
 train residents and fellows  in  biomedical  research  skills  based  on
 hospital-specific  data  submitted  to the commissioner by consortia and
 teaching general hospitals in accordance with clause (G) of this subpar-
 agraph. Such distributions shall be made in accordance with the  follow-
 ing methodology:
   (A)  The  greatest  number  of clinical research positions for which a
 consortium or teaching general hospital may be funded pursuant  to  this
 subparagraph  shall  be  one  percent  of  the total number of residents
 training at the consortium or teaching general hospital on  July  first,

 est one position.
   (B) Distributions made to a consortium or  teaching  general  hospital
 shall  equal  the product of the total number of clinical research posi-
 tions submitted  by  a  consortium  or  teaching  general  hospital  and
 accepted  by the commissioner as meeting the criteria set forth in para-
 graph (b) of subdivision one of this section, subject to  the  reduction
 calculation  set  forth  in  clause  (C) of this subparagraph, times one
 hundred ten thousand dollars.
   (C) If the dollar amount for the total  number  of  clinical  research
 positions  in  the  region  calculated  pursuant  to  clause (B) of this
 subparagraph exceeds the total amount appropriated for purposes of  this
 paragraph,  including clinical research positions that continue from and
 were funded in prior distribution periods, the commissioner shall elimi-
 nate one-half of the  clinical  research  positions  submitted  by  each
 consortium  or teaching general hospital rounded down to the nearest one
 position. Such reduction shall be repeated until the dollar  amount  for
 the  total  number of clinical research positions in the region does not
 exceed the total amount appropriated for purposes of this paragraph.  If
 the  repeated  reduction  of the total number of clinical research posi-
 tions in the region by one-half does not render a total  funding  amount
 that  is equal to or less than the total amount reserved for that region
 within the appropriation, the funding for each clinical  research  posi-
 tion  in  that  region  shall  be reduced proportionally in one thousand
 dollar increments until the total dollar amount for the total number  of
 clinical  research  positions  in  that region does not exceed the total
 amount reserved for that region within the appropriation. Any  reduction
 in  funding will be effective for the duration of the award. No clinical
 research positions that continue from and were funded in prior  distrib-
 ution periods shall be eliminated or reduced by such methodology.

                 EATING DISORDERS; COMMISSIONER'S WRITTEN NOTICE.
         30.06 RESTRICTED USE OF TITLE.
 § 30.01 LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
   THE  LEGISLATURE  HEREBY  FINDS THAT EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
 FOR CITIZENS STRUGGLING WITH EATING DISORDERS, A COMPLEX AND POTENTIALLY
 LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION, REQUIRES A  CONTINUUM  OF  INTERDISCIPLINARY
 PROVIDERS  AND  LEVELS  OF  CARE. SUCH EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
 FURTHER REQUIRES THE COORDINATION AND  COMPREHENSIVE  MANAGEMENT  OF  AN
 INDIVIDUALIZED  PLAN OF CARE SPECIFICALLY ORIENTED TO THE DISTINCT NEEDS
 OF EACH INDIVIDUAL.
   THE LEGISLATURE FURTHER FINDS THAT, WHILE THERE  ARE  NUMEROUS  HEALTH
 CARE PROVIDERS IN THE STATE WITH EXPERTISE IN EATING DISORDER TREATMENT,
 THERE IS NO GENERALLY ACCESSIBLE, COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM FOR RESPONDING TO
 THESE  DISORDERS. DUE TO THE LACK OF SUCH A SYSTEM THE LEGISLATURE FINDS
 THAT TREATMENT, INFORMATION/REFERRAL, PREVENTION AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
 ARE FRAGMENTED AND INCOMPLETE. IN ADDITION, DUE TO THE BROAD,  MULTIFAC-
 ETED  NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH EATING DISORDERS, INSURANCE PAYMENTS FOR
 THE NECESSARY PLAN OF CARE AND PROVIDERS IS USUALLY FRAGMENTED AS  WELL,
 LEAVING  CITIZENS WITH INSUFFICIENT COVERAGE FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND,
 THEREFORE, AT RISK OF INCOMPLETE TREATMENT, RELAPSE,  DETERIORATION  AND
 POTENTIAL DEATH.
   THE LEGISLATURE THEREFORE DECLARES THAT THE STATE TAKE POSITIVE ACTION
 TO  FACILITATE  THE  DEVELOPMENT  AND  PUBLIC IDENTIFICATION OF PROVIDER
 NETWORKS AND CARE  CENTERS  OF  EXCELLENCE  TO  PROVIDE  A  COORDINATED,
 COMPREHENSIVE  SYSTEM FOR THE TREATMENT OF SUCH DISORDERS, AS WELL AS TO
 CONDUCT  COMMUNITY  EDUCATION,  PREVENTION,   INFORMATION/REFERRAL   AND
 RESEARCH ACTIVITIES. THE LEGISLATURE FURTHER DECLARES THAT HEALTH COVER-
 AGE  BY  INSURERS  AND  HEALTH  MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD INCLUDE
 COVERED SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH SUCH CENTERS AND THAT, TO  THE  EXTENT
 POSSIBLE AND PRACTICABLE, HEALTH PLAN REIMBURSEMENT SHOULD BE STRUCTURED
 IN  A  MANNER  TO FACILITATE THE INDIVIDUALIZED, COMPREHENSIVE AND INTE-
 GRATED PLANS OF CARE WHICH SUCH CENTERS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE.

 FEBRUARY  1,  2021,  PRIOR TO FEBRUARY 1, 2022, AND PRIOR TO FEBRUARY 1,
 2023 for each regional group the commissioner of health shall  calculate
 the  prior year's medicaid revenue percentages for the period commencing
 January 1 through November 30 of such prior year.
   3. By September 15, 1996, for each regional group the commissioner  of
 health shall calculate the base period medicaid revenue percentage.
   4.  (a)  For  each  regional  group,  the 1996 target medicaid revenue
 percentage shall be calculated by subtracting the 1996 medicaid  revenue
 reduction percentages from the base period medicaid revenue percentages.
 The  1996  medicaid  revenue  reduction  percentage, taking into account
 regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare
 services, for the following regional groups shall be equal to:
   (i) one and one-tenth percentage points for CHHAs located  within  the
 downstate region;
   (ii)  six-tenths  of one percentage point for CHHAs located within the
 upstate region;
   (iii) one and eight-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located with-
 in the downstate region; and
   (iv) one and seven-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located within
 the upstate region.
   (b) For 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,  2005,  2006,  2007,

 by subtracting the respective year's medicaid revenue reduction percent-
 age from the base  period  medicaid  revenue  percentage.  The  medicaid
 revenue  reduction  percentages  for 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,
 2004,  2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,
 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 [and], 2020, 2021, 2022  AND  2023,  taking  into
 account  regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and
 medicare services, for the following regional groups shall be  equal  to
 for each such year:
   (i)  one  and one-tenth percentage points for CHHAs located within the
 downstate region;
   (ii) six-tenths of one percentage point for CHHAs located  within  the
 upstate region;
   (iii) one and eight-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located with-
 in the downstate region; and
   (iv) one and seven-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located within
 the upstate region.
   (c) For each regional group, the 1999 target medicaid revenue percent-
 age  shall  be  calculated  by  subtracting  the  1999  medicaid revenue
 reduction percentage from the base period medicaid  revenue  percentage.
 The  1999  medicaid  revenue  reduction percentages, taking into account
 regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare
 services, for the following regional groups shall be equal to:
   (i) eight hundred twenty-five thousandths  (.825)  of  one  percentage
 point for CHHAs located within the downstate region;
   (ii)  forty-five  hundredths  (.45)  of one percentage point for CHHAs
 located within the upstate region;
   (iii) one and thirty-five  hundredths  percentage  points  (1.35)  for
 LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and
   (iv)  one  and  two hundred seventy-five thousandths percentage points
 (1.275) for LTHHCPs located within the upstate region.
   5. (a) For each regional group, if the 1996 medicaid revenue  percent-
 age  is  not  equal  to  or  less  than the 1996 target medicaid revenue
 percentage, the commissioner of health shall compare the  1996  medicaid
 revenue  percentage  to  the  1996 target medicaid revenue percentage to
 determine the amount of the shortfall which, when divided  by  the  1996
 medicaid   revenue  reduction  percentage,  shall  be  called  the  1996
 reduction factor. These amounts, expressed as a  percentage,  shall  not
 exceed  one  hundred percent. If the 1996 medicaid revenue percentage is
 equal to or less than the 1996 target medicaid revenue  percentage,  the
 1996 reduction factor shall be zero.
   (b)  For  1997,  1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006,
 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,  2017,  2018
 [and],  2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 AND 2023, for each regional group, if the
 medicaid revenue percentage for the respective year is not equal  to  or
 less  than  the  target  medicaid revenue percentage for such respective
 year, the commissioner of health shall compare  such  respective  year's
 medicaid  revenue  percentage  to such respective year's target medicaid
 revenue percentage to determine the amount of the shortfall which,  when
 divided  by the respective year's medicaid revenue reduction percentage,
 shall be called the reduction factor for  such  respective  year.  These
 amounts,  expressed  as  a  percentage,  shall  not  exceed  one hundred
 percent. If the medicaid revenue percentage for  a  particular  year  is
 equal  to  or  less than the target medicaid revenue percentage for that
 year, the reduction factor for that year shall be zero.

   6. (a) For each regional group, the 1996  reduction  factor  shall  be
 multiplied  by  the following amounts to determine each regional group's
 applicable 1996 state share reduction amount:
   (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
 CHHAs located within the downstate region;
   (ii) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for CHHAs located
 within the upstate region;
   (iii)  one  million  two hundred seventy thousand dollars ($1,270,000)
 for LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and

 [and], 2020, 2021, 2022 AND 2023, for each regional group, the reduction
 factor for the respective year shall  be  multiplied  by  the  following
 amounts  to  determine  each  regional  group's  applicable  state share
 reduction amount for such respective year:
   (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
 CHHAs located within the downstate region;
   (ii) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for CHHAs located
 within the upstate region;

 for LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and
   (iv)  five  hundred  ninety  thousand  dollars  ($590,000) for LTHHCPs
 located within the upstate region.
   For each regional group reduction,  if  the  reduction  factor  for  a
 particular  year  shall be zero, there shall be no state share reduction
 amount for such year.
   (c) For each regional group, the 1999 reduction factor shall be multi-
 plied by the following amounts to determine each regional group's appli-
 cable 1999 state share reduction amount:
   (i) one million seven hundred ninety-two thousand five hundred dollars
 ($1,792,500) for CHHAs located within the downstate region;
   (ii) five hundred sixty-two thousand five hundred  dollars  ($562,500)

   7. (a) For each regional group, the 1996 state share reduction  amount
 shall be allocated by the commissioner of health among CHHAs and LTHHCPs
 on  the  basis  of  the  extent  of  each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to
 achieve the 1996 target medicaid revenue  percentage,  calculated  on  a
 provider  specific  basis utilizing revenues for this purpose, expressed
 as a proportion of the total of each  CHHA's  and  LTHHCP's  failure  to
 achieve  the 1996 target medicaid revenue percentage within the applica-
 ble regional group. This proportion shall be multiplied by the  applica-
 ble  1996 state share reduction amount calculation pursuant to paragraph
 (a) of subdivision 6 of this section. This amount shall  be  called  the
 1996 provider specific state share reduction amount.
   (b)  For  1997,  1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006,

 2019 [and], 2020, 2021, 2022 AND 2023 for each regional group, the state
 share reduction amount for the respective year shall be allocated by the
 commissioner  of  health  among  CHHAs  and  LTHHCPs on the basis of the
 extent  of  each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to achieve the target medi-
 caid revenue percentage for the applicable year, calculated on a provid-
 er specific basis utilizing revenues for this purpose,  expressed  as  a
 proportion  of  the total of each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to achieve
 the target medicaid revenue percentage for the  applicable  year  within
 the  applicable  regional  group. This proportion shall be multiplied by
 the applicable year's state share reduction amount calculation  pursuant
 to  paragraph  (b)  or (c) of subdivision 6 of this section. This amount
 shall be called the provider specific state share reduction  amount  for
 the applicable year.
   8.  (a)  The 1996 provider specific state share reduction amount shall
 be due to the state from each CHHA and LTHHCP and may be recouped by the

 troller  shall  establish  appropriate  accounts  and if the loan is not
 repaid by the end of the month, provide on or before the  fifteenth  day

 hereby authorized to issue bonds, notes  and  other  obligations  in  an
 aggregate  principal  amount  not  to exceed [eight billion four hundred

 other obligations issued pursuant to chapter 56 of the laws of 1983,  as
 amended  or  supplemented.  The  proceeds  of such bonds, notes or other
 obligations shall be paid to the state, for deposit in the  correctional
 facilities capital improvement fund to pay for all or any portion of the

 ent value of the aggregate debt service of the  refunding  or  repayment
 bonds,  notes  or  other  obligations  to be issued shall not exceed the
 present value of the aggregate debt service of the bonds, notes or other
 obligations so to be refunded or repaid. For the  purposes  hereof,  the
 present  value  of the aggregate debt service of the refunding or repay-
 ment bonds, notes or other obligations and of the aggregate debt service
 of the bonds, notes or other obligations so refunded or repaid, shall be
 calculated by utilizing the effective interest rate of the refunding  or
 repayment  bonds,  notes  or other obligations, which shall be that rate
 arrived at by doubling the semi-annual interest rate  (compounded  semi-
 annually) necessary to discount the debt service payments on the refund-
 ing  or  repayment  bonds,  notes  or other obligations from the payment
 dates thereof to the date of issue of the refunding or repayment  bonds,
 notes  or  other  obligations  and  to the price bid including estimated
 accrued interest or proceeds received by the corporation including esti-
 mated accrued interest from the sale thereof.

   (c) Subject to the provisions of chapter fifty-nine of the laws of two

 university educational facilities purposes if the  principal  amount  of
 bonds to be issued when added to the aggregate principal amount of bonds
 issued  by  the  dormitory  authority  on and after July first, nineteen

 construction  notes  previously issued by the housing finance agency; or
 (2) such bonds are issued to refund bonds  of  the  authority  or  other
 obligations  issued for state university educational facilities purposes
 and the present value of the aggregate debt  service  on  the  refunding

 from the payment dates thereof to the date of  issue  of  the  refunding
 bonds  to  the purchase price of the refunding bonds, including interest
 accrued thereon prior to the issuance  thereof.  The  maturity  of  such

 repeal such limit, and the state of New York, the  dormitory  authority,

 fund are prohibited from covenanting or making any other agreements with
 or for the benefit of bondholders which might in  any  way  affect  such
 right.

 to be issued when added to the  principal  amount  of  bonds  previously
 issued pursuant to any such resolution, except bonds issued to refund or
 to  be  substituted  for  or  in lieu of other bonds in relation to city
 university facilities, will exceed [eight billion six  hundred  seventy-

 eof to the date of issue of the refunding or repayment bonds,  notes  or

 state  comptroller  shall  reserve  in the general debt service fund the
 amount of monies identified on such certificate  as  necessary  for  the
 payment  of debt service and related expenses during the current or next
 succeeding quarter of the state fiscal year. Such monies reserved  shall
 not  be  available  for  any  other  purpose.  Such certificate shall be

 law, as amended by section 39 of part JJ of chapter 56 of  the  laws  of
 2010, is amended to read as follows:
   a.  Such  bonds  shall  be sold at par, at par plus a premium, or at a
 discount to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost to  the  state,
 taking  into  consideration  any premium or discount and, in the case of
 refunding bonds, the bona fide initial public offering price,  not  less
 than  [four  nor more than fifteen days, Sundays excepted,] TWO BUSINESS
 DAYS after THE PUBLICATION OF  a    notice  of  [such]  sale  [has  been
 published] at least once in a definitive trade publication of the munic-
 ipal  bond  industry  published on each business day in the state of New
 York which is generally available IN  ELECTRONIC  OR  PHYSICAL  FORM  to
 participants  in  the  municipal bond industry, which notice shall state
 the terms of the sale. The comptroller may not change the terms  of  the
 sale  unless  notice  of such change is sent via a definitive trade wire
 service of the municipal bond industry which, in general,  makes  avail-
 able  information regarding activity and sales of municipal bonds and is
 generally available to participants in the municipal bond  industry,  at
 least  one  hour  prior  to  the  time  of  the sale as set forth in the
 original notice of sale. In so changing the terms  or  conditions  of  a
 sale  the comptroller may send notice by such wire service that the sale
 will be delayed by up to thirty days, provided that wire notice  of  the
 new  sale  date will be given at least one business day prior to the new
 time when bids will be accepted. In such event, no new  notice  of  sale
 shall  be  required  to  be published. Notwithstanding the provisions of
 section three hundred five of the state technology law or any other law,
 if the notice of sale contains  a  provision  that  bids  will  only  be
 accepted  electronically  in the manner provided in such notice of sale,
 the comptroller shall not be required to accept non-electronic  bids  in
 any  form.  Advertisements  shall contain a provision to the effect that

 the state comptroller, in his or her discretion, may reject any  or  all
 bids  made in pursuance of such advertisements, and in the event of such
 rejection, the state comptroller is authorized to  negotiate  a  private
 sale  or  readvertise for bids in the form and manner above described as
 many times as, in his or her judgment, may  be  necessary  to  effect  a
 satisfactory  sale.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions of this
 paragraph, whenever in the judgment of the comptroller the interests  of
 the  state  will  be  served  thereby, he or she may sell state bonds at
 private sale at par, at par plus a premium, or at a discount. The  comp-
 troller  shall promulgate regulations governing the terms and conditions
 of any such private sales, which regulations shall include  a  provision
 that  he  or she give notice to the governor, the temporary president of
 the senate, and the speaker of the assembly, of his or her intention  to
 conduct  a private sale of obligations pursuant to this section not less
 than [five] TWO BUSINESS days prior to such sale or the execution of any
 binding agreement to effect such sale.

   (c) In order to reconcile capital related inpatient expenses  included
 in  rates of payment based on a budget to actual expenses and statistics
 for the rate period for a general  hospital,  rates  of  payment  for  a
 general  hospital  shall  be adjusted to reflect the dollar value of the
 difference  between  capital  related inpatient expenses included in the
 computation of rates of payment for a prior rate period based on a budg-
 et and actual capital related inpatient expenses  for  such  prior  rate
 period,  each  as  determined  in  accordance with paragraph (a) of this
 subdivision, adjusted to reflect increases or  decreases  in  volume  of
 service  in  such  prior  rate  period compared to statistics applied in
 determining the capital related inpatient expenses component of rates of
 payment based on a budget for such prior rate period. FOR  RATES  EFFEC-
 TIVE  ON  AND AFTER APRIL FIRST, TWO THOUSAND TWENTY, THE BUDGETED CAPI-
 TAL-RELATED EXPENSES ADD-ON AS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SUBDI-

 sured inpatient and outpatient units of service from the cost  reporting
 year  two years prior to the distribution year, multiplied by the appli-
 cable medicaid rates in effect January first of the  distribution  year,

 of section 2801 of the public health law, other than those  operated  by
 the  state of New York or the state university of New York, located in a
 city with a population of over 1 million, as medical assistance payments

 room services issued pursuant to  paragraph  (g)  of  subdivision  2  of
 section  2807  of the public health law for public general hospitals, as
 defined in subdivision 10 of section 2801  of  the  public  health  law,
 other  than those operated by the state of New York or the state univer-
 sity of New York, and located in a  city  with  a  population  over  one
 million, as a rate adjustment either directly as fee for service medical
 assistance  payments  or  to managed care organizations authorized under
 article 44 of the public health law or article 43 of the  insurance  law
 that  have  in  their  network  such  hospitals,  as  medical assistance
 payments for outpatient services pursuant to title 11 of  article  5  of
 the  social  services  law  for  patients eligible for federal financial
 participation under title  XIX  of  the  federal  social  security  act,

 the department of health and the New  York  city  health  and  hospitals
 corporation.  The  memorandum  of  understanding shall govern the terms,
 conditions, criteria and methodologies for  such  rate  adjustments  and
 shall,  at  a  minimum,  set forth: (a) the estimated amounts to be paid
 pursuant to this rate adjustment; (b)  the  timing  and  methodology  by
 which  the  city  of  New  York  will fund any local share contribution,
 consistent with section 1905(cc) of the federal social security act,  or
 any  successor provision, toward the aggregate amount to be paid as part
 of the rate adjustment; and (c) the methodology by which the anticipated
 total amount to be paid through such rate adjustment will be  funded  in
 advance  through  an  estimated local share contribution and then recon-
 ciled with actual utilization of services and application of the  annual
 upper  payment  limit demonstration to the extent required by the secre-
 tary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services pursu-
 ant to 42 CFR 431.16, or any successor provision. If  the  annual  upper
 payment  limit  demonstration  yields  an  amount  that is less than the
 aggregate amount paid in the rate  adjustment  provided  by  the  public
 health  law,  then  the  rate adjustment shall be reduced to reflect the
 demonstration amount and other actions as authorized by  the  memorandum
 of understanding. If the annual upper payment limit demonstration yields
 an  amount  that  is  more  than  the  aggregate amount paid in the rate
 adjustment provided by the public health law, the rate adjustment  shall

                                  PART PP
 
   Section 1.  The social services law is amended by adding a new section
 364-n to read as follows:
   § 364-N. DIABETES AND CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT  PILOT  PROGRAM.
 THE  COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH MAY ESTABLISH A DIABETES AND CHRONIC DISEASE
 SELF-MANAGEMENT PILOT PROGRAM IN ONE OR MORE COUNTIES OR REGIONS OF  THE
 STATE  FOR  THE  PURPOSE  OF IMPROVING CLINICAL OUTCOMES. PAYMENTS UNDER
 SUCH PROGRAM MAY BE MADE FOR EDUCATION, CONSULTATION, AND  PEER  SUPPORT
 SERVICES  FOR  PERSONS WITH CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS, AS DEFINED BY THE
 COMMISSIONER, TO BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE SUCH SERVICES. THE  COMMISSIONER
 IS AUTHORIZED TO ESTABLISH FEES FOR SUCH COUNSELING SERVICES, SUBJECT TO
 THE  APPROVAL  OF  THE  DIRECTOR  OF  THE  DIVISION  OF  THE BUDGET. THE
 PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT TAKE EFFECT  UNLESS  ALL  NECESSARY
 APPROVALS UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND REGULATION HAVE BEEN OBTAINED TO RECEIVE
 FEDERAL FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION FOR THE COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER
 THIS SECTION.
   §  2.  Section 367-r of the social services law, as amended by section
 58-a of part A of chapter 57 of the laws of  2006,  subdivision  1-a  as
 amended  by  section 10 of part C of chapter 109 of the laws of 2006, is
 amended to read as follows:
   § 367-r.  Private  duty  nursing  services  worker   recruitment   and
 retention  program. 1. (A) THE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH, WITH THE APPROVAL
 OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET, SHALL ESTABLISH FEES FOR  THE  REIMBURSE-
 MENT OF PRIVATE DUTY NURSING SERVICES.
   (B)  The  commissioner  of  health shall, subject to the provisions of
 PARAGRAPH (B) OF subdivision two of this section and to the availability
 of federal financial participation, increase medical assistance rates of
 payment by three percent for services provided  on  and  after  December
 first,  two  thousand  two,  for  private  duty nursing services for the
 purposes of improving recruitment and retention of private duty nurses.
   [1-a.] 2. Medically fragile children. (A) In addition, the commission-
 er shall further increase rates for private duty nursing  services  that
 are provided to medically fragile children to ensure the availability of
 such  services  to such children. In establishing rates of payment under
 this subdivision, the commissioner shall consider the cost neutrality of
 such rates as related to the cost effectiveness of caring for  medically
 fragile children in a non-institutional setting as compared to an insti-
 tutional  setting. Medically fragile children shall, for the purposes of
 this subdivision, have the same meaning as  in  subdivision  three-a  of
 section  thirty-six  hundred  fourteen  of the public health law.   Such
 increased rates for services rendered to such  children  may  take  into
 consideration  the  elements  of cost, geographical differentials in the
 elements of cost considered, economic factors in the area in  which  the
 private  duty  nursing  service  is  provided, costs associated with the
 provision of private duty nursing services to  medically  fragile  chil-
 dren,  and  the  need  for  incentives to improve services and institute
 economies and such increased  rates  shall  be  payable  only  to  those
 private  duty  nurses  who  can  demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the

 S. 7506--B                         283                        A. 9506--B
 
 department of health, satisfactory training and  experience  to  provide
 services  to  such  children.  Such  increased rates shall be determined
 based on application of the case mix adjustment  factor  for  AIDS  home
 care  program  services rates as determined pursuant to applicable regu-
 lations of the department of health.  The  commissioner  may  promulgate
 regulations to implement the provisions of this subdivision.
   [2.]  (B)  Private  duty  nursing  services providers which have their
 rates adjusted pursuant to PARAGRAPH (B)  OF  SUBDIVISION  ONE  OF  this
 section AND PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SUBDIVISION shall use such funds sole-
 ly  for the purposes of recruitment and retention of private duty nurses
 or to ensure the delivery of private duty nursing services to  medically
 fragile  children and are prohibited from using such funds for any other
 purpose. Funds provided under PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE  OF  this
 section  AND  PARAGRAPH  (A)  OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION  are not intended to
 supplant support provided by a local  government.  Each  such  provider,
 with  the  exception of self-employed private duty nurses, shall submit,
 at a time and in a manner  to  be  determined  by  the  commissioner  of
 health,  a  written certification attesting that such funds will be used
 solely for the purpose of recruitment  and  retention  of  private  duty
 nurses  or  to  ensure  the delivery of private duty nursing services to
 medically fragile children. The commissioner of health is authorized  to
 audit  each  such provider to ensure compliance with the written certif-
 ication required by this subdivision and shall recoup all  funds  deter-
 mined  to  have  been  used  for  purposes  other  than  recruitment and
 retention of private duty nurses or the delivery of private duty nursing
 services to medically fragile children.  Such  recoupment  shall  be  in
 addition to any other penalties provided by law.
   (C)  THE  COMMISSIONER  OF  HEALTH SHALL, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
 PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, AND  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  SUBDIVISION
 THREE OF THIS SECTION, AND SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FEDERAL FINAN-
 CIAL  PARTICIPATION,  ANNUALLY  INCREASE  FEES  FOR  THE FEE-FOR-SERVICE

 TO  SUBDIVISION  THREE  OF  THIS  SECTION, OVER A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS,
 COMMENCING OCTOBER FIRST,  TWO  THOUSAND  TWENTY,  BY  ONE-THIRD  ANNUAL
 INCREMENTS,  UNTIL SUCH FEES FOR REIMBURSEMENT EQUAL THE FINAL BENCHMARK
 PAYMENT DESIGNED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO THE SERVICE. IN DEVELOPING
 SUCH BENCHMARK THE COMMISSIONER OF HEALTH MAY UTILIZE  THE  AVERAGE  TWO
 THOUSAND  EIGHTEEN  MEDICAID  MANAGED CARE PAYMENTS FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF
 SUCH PRIVATE DUTY NURSING SERVICES.   THE  COMMISSIONER  MAY  PROMULGATE
 REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
   3.    PROVIDER  DIRECTORY  FOR  FEE-FOR-SERVICE  PRIVATE  DUTY NURSING
 SERVICES PROVIDED TO MEDICALLY FRAGILE  CHILDREN.  THE  COMMISSIONER  OF
 HEALTH IS AUTHORIZED TO ESTABLISH A DIRECTORY OF QUALIFIED PROVIDERS FOR
 THE  PURPOSE OF PROMOTING THE AVAILABILITY AND ENSURING DELIVERY OF FEE-
 FOR-SERVICE PRIVATE DUTY NURSING SERVICES TO MEDICALLY FRAGILE  CHILDREN
 AND  INDIVIDUALS  TRANSITIONING OUT OF SUCH CATEGORY OF CARE.  QUALIFIED

 employee shall report directly to the entity's chief executive or  other
 senior  administrator  and  shall  periodically  report  directly to the
 governing body on the activities of the compliance program;
   (c) training and education of all affected employees and persons asso-
 ciated with  the  provider,  including  executives  and  governing  body

 encouraging,  directing, facilitating or permitting non-compliant behav-
 ior; such disciplinary policies shall be fairly and firmly enforced;

 specific  to  the provider type, for self-evaluation of such risk areas,
 including internal audits and as appropriate external  audits,  and  for
 evaluation  of  potential  or  actual non-compliance as a result of such
 self-evaluations and audits;
   (g) a system for responding to compliance issues as they  are  raised;
 for  investigating  potential compliance problems; responding to compli-
 ance problems as  identified  in  the  course  of  self-evaluations  and
 audits;  correcting such problems promptly and thoroughly and implement-
 ing procedures, policies and systems as necessary to reduce  the  poten-
 tial  for recurrence; identifying and reporting compliance issues to the
 department or the office of Medicaid inspector  general;  and  refunding
 overpayments;
   (h)  a  policy  of non-intimidation and non-retaliation for good faith
 participation in the compliance program, including but  not  limited  to
 reporting  potential  issues,  investigating  issues,  self-evaluations,
 audits and remedial actions, and reporting to appropriate  officials  as
 provided  in sections seven hundred forty and seven hundred forty-one of
 the labor law.] EVERY PROVIDER SHALL ADOPT AND  IMPLEMENT  AN  EFFECTIVE

   §  6.  Paragraph  (b)  of subdivision 2 of section 367-a of the social
 services law, as amended by section 116 of part C of chapter 58  of  the

   (b)  Any  inconsistent provision of this chapter or other law notwith-
 standing, upon furnishing assistance under this title to  any  applicant
 or  recipient  of medical assistance, the local social services district
 or the department shall be subrogated, to the extent of the expenditures
 by such district or department for medical care furnished, to any rights
 such person may have to medical support  or  reimbursement  from  liable
 third  parties,  including  but not limited to health insurers, self-in-
 sured plans, group health plans, service  benefit  plans,  managed  care
 organizations,  pharmacy benefit managers, or other parties that are, by
 statute, contract, or agreement, legally responsible for  payment  of  a
 claim  for  a health care item or service. For purposes of this section,
 the term medical support shall mean the right to  support  specified  as
 support  for  the  purpose  of medical care by a court or administrative
 order. The right of subrogation does not attach  to  insurance  benefits
 paid  or provided under any health insurance policy prior to the receipt
 of written notice of the exercise of subrogation rights by  the  carrier
 issuing  such  insurance,  nor shall such right of subrogation attach to
 any benefits which may be claimed by a social services official  or  the
 department,  by  agreement or other established procedure, directly from

 available  under any health insurance policy shall be enforceable unless
 written notice of the exercise of such subrogation right is received  by
 the carrier within three years from the date services for which benefits
 are  provided  under  the  policy or contract are rendered. Liable third
 parties shall not deny a claim made by a social services official or the
 department in conformance with this paragraph solely on the basis of the
 date of submission of the claim, the type or format of the claim form, A
 FAILURE TO OBTAIN PRIOR AUTHORIZATION, or a failure  to  present  proper
 documentation  at  the  point-of-sale  that  is  the basis of the claim.
 LIABLE THIRD PARTIES SHALL RESPOND TO A REQUEST FOR PAYMENT WITHIN SIXTY
 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF  WRITTEN  PROOF  OF  LOSS  OR  CLAIM  FOR
 PAYMENT FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES PROVIDED TO A RECIPIENT OF MEDICAID WHO
 IS  COVERED  BY THE THIRD PARTY AND SHALL NOT CHARGE A FEE TO PROCESS OR
 ADJUDICATE A CLAIM. The local social services district or the department
 shall also notify the carrier when the exercise  of  subrogation  rights
 has  terminated because a person is no longer receiving assistance under
 this title. Such carrier shall  establish  mechanisms  to  maintain  the
 confidentiality of all individually identifiable information or records.
 Such  carrier  shall  limit the use of such information or record to the
 specific purpose for which  such  disclosure  is  made,  and  shall  not
 further disclose such information or records.

 PUBLIC HEALTH LAW.
   §  8. Section 3613 of the public health law is amended by adding a new

   1-A. EACH HOME CARE SERVICES WORKER SHALL OBTAIN AN INDIVIDUAL  UNIQUE
 IDENTIFIER  FROM THE STATE BY OR BEFORE A DATE DETERMINED BY THE COMMIS-
 SIONER IN CONSULTATION WITH THE MEDICAID INSPECTOR GENERAL. ANY PERSONAL

 TAINED  AS CONFIDENTIAL PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SIX-A OF THE PUBLIC OFFICERS
 LAW ("NEW YORK STATE PRIVACY PROTECTION LAW").
   § 9. Subdivision 3 of section 365-f of the  social  services  law,  as

 follows:
   3. Division of responsibilities. Eligible  individuals  who  elect  to
 participate  in the program assume the responsibility for services under
 such program as mutually  agreed  to  by  the  eligible  individual  and
 provider  and as documented in the eligible individual's record, includ-
 ing, but not  limited  to,  recruiting,  hiring  and  supervising  their
 personal  assistants. For the purposes of this section, personal assist-
 ant shall mean an adult who HAS OBTAINED AN INDIVIDUAL UNIQUE IDENTIFIER
 FROM THE STATE BY OR BEFORE A DATE DETERMINED  BY  THE  COMMISSIONER  OF
 HEALTH IN CONSULTATION WITH THE MEDICAID INSPECTOR GENERAL, AND provides
 services  under this section to the eligible individual under the eligi-
 ble individual's instruction, supervision and  direction  or  under  the
 instruction,  supervision  and  direction  of  the eligible individual's
 designated representative, provided that a  person  legally  responsible
 for  an eligible individual's care and support, an eligible individual's
 spouse or designated representative may not be  the  personal  assistant
 for  the  eligible individual; however, a personal assistant may include
 any other adult relative of the eligible individual, provided,  however,
 that  the program determines that the services provided by such relative
 are consistent with an individual's plan of care and that the  aggregate
 cost  for  such  services does not exceed the aggregate costs for equiv-
 alent services  provided  by  a  non-relative  personal  assistant.  ANY
 PERSONAL INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO OBTAIN SUCH UNIQUE IDENTIFIER SHALL BE
 MAINTAINED AS CONFIDENTIAL PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SIX-A OF THE PUBLIC OFFI-
 CERS  LAW  ("NEW  YORK  STATE PRIVACY PROTECTION LAW"). Such individuals
 shall be assisted as appropriate  with  service  coverage,  supervision,
 advocacy  and  management. Providers shall not be liable for fulfillment

 of responsibilities agreed to be undertaken by the eligible  individual.
 This  subdivision, however, shall not diminish the participating provid-
 er's liability for failure  to  exercise  reasonable  care  in  properly
 carrying  out  its  responsibilities  under  this  program,  which shall
 include monitoring such individual's continuing ability to fulfill those
 responsibilities documented in his or her records. Failure of the  indi-
 vidual to carry out his or her agreed to responsibilities may be consid-
 ered  in determining such individual's continued appropriateness for the
 program.
   § 10. Subparagraph (C) of paragraph 3 of  subsection  (e)  of  section

 the policy or contract are rendered. An insurer shall not deny  a  claim
 made  in  conformance  with  paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section
 three hundred sixty-seven-a of the social services  law  solely  on  the
 basis  of the date of submission of the claim, the type or format of the
 claim form, A FAILURE TO OBTAIN PRIOR AUTHORIZATION,  or  a  failure  to
 present  proper  documentation at the point-of-sale that is the basis of
 the claim.
   § 11. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  be  deemed  to
 have  been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2020; provided
 however, section three of this act shall apply to compliance reviews for
 calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2021; provided  further,
 section  seven  of  this  act  shall apply to cost reports submitted for
 calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2014; provided  further,
 however, the amendments to section 364-j of the social services law made

 section and shall be deemed repealed therewith;  and  provided  further,
 however,  that  the director of the budget may, in consultation with the
 commissioner of health, delay the effective dates prescribed herein  for
 a  period  of  time  which  shall  not  exceed ninety days following the
 conclusion or termination of  an  executive  order  issued  pursuant  to
 section 28 of the executive law declaring a state disaster emergency for
 the  entire  state  of New York, and upon such delay the director of the
 budget shall notify the chairs of the assembly ways and means  committee
 and  senate  finance committee and the chairs of the assembly and senate
 health committee; and provided further, however, that  the  director  of

 erance of effecting the provisions of section 44 of the legislative  law

   Section 1. Legislative findings and  intent.  The  legislature  hereby
 finds, determines and declares the following:
   The  planning, development and operation of the Hudson River Park as a
 public park continues to be a matter of state concern and importance  to
 the  state. As detailed in the 1998 law creating the park and the trust,
 chapter 592 of the laws of 1998, the  creation,  development,  operation
 and  maintenance  of  the Hudson River Park will enhance and protect the
 natural, cultural and historic aspects of the Hudson River, enhance  and
 afford  quality  public  access  to  the  river,  allow  for an array of
 cultural and recreational programs and provide a host  of  other  public
 benefits. The changes to the 1998 law by this act are intended to, after
 decades  of  delay  and inaction, finally  effectuate the park's general
 project plan as defined in chapter  592  of  the  laws  of  1998,  which
 continues  to  be  the operative planning document guiding park develop-
 ment, protection and reuse of a portion of the Hudson  River  waterfront
 in  lower Manhattan south of 59th street, and are intended to ensure the
 realization of that vision and the park's continuing viability for years
 to come. Nothing herein is intended  to  alter  or  override  any  prior
 determinations concerning park planning, development or operation.
   § 2. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 9 of section 7 of chapter 592 of the

 New  York  shall  promptly  convey to the trust a possessory interest in
 Pier 76 consistent with such interest previously conveyed  with  respect
 to  other  portions of the park, provided that at least fifty percent of
 the Pier 76 footprint shall be used for park uses that  are  limited  to
 passive and active open space and which shall be contiguous to water and
 provided further that the remaining portion shall be for park/commercial
 use.  Upon  such conveyance, Pier 76 shall become part of the park.] (I)
 ON OR BEFORE JULY 1, 2020, THE CITY OF NEW  YORK  SHALL  CONVEY  TO  THE
 STATE  OF NEW YORK UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE OFFICE OF PARKS, RECRE-

 LAWS  OF  2020 WHICH AMENDED THIS PARAGRAPH, THE TRUST SHALL BE ENTITLED
 TO TIMELY AND REASONABLE ACCESS TO PIER 76 FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING
 ASSESSMENTS AND INSPECTIONS NECESSARY TO FURTHER REDEVELOPMENT  OF  PIER
 76  FOLLOWING  ITS  INCLUSION IN THE PARK.  (IV) BEGINNING JULY 1, 2020,
 THE CITY OF NEW YORK SHALL PERIODICALLY PREPARE AND SUBMIT A  REPORT  TO
 THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITH A COPY TO THE TRUST, DETAILING ACTIONS TAKEN
 BY THE CITY OF NEW YORK TO RELOCATE THE TOW POUND. IN THE EVENT THAT THE

   (i) Except where the parties have developed  a  mutually  agreed  upon

 forth  in  subsection  (a)  of  this  section. In the event the insurer,
 organization, or corporation processes the  claim  consistent  with  its
 initial determination, such decision shall be accompanied by a statement
 of  the  insurer, organization or corporation setting forth the specific

 ance with the timeframes set forth in subsection (a) of  this  section,]
 shall  pay  to  the  general  hospital  interest  on  the amount of such
 increase at the rate set by the commissioner of taxation and finance for

 DAYS AFTER INITIAL RECEIPT OF THE  CLAIM  IF  TRANSMITTED  BY  PAPER  OR
 FACSIMILE.    Provided, however, a failure to remit timely payment shall
 not constitute a violation of this section.    Neither  the  initial  or
 subsequent  processing  of  the  claim  by the insurer, organization, or
 corporation shall be deemed  an  adverse  determination  as  defined  in
 section  four thousand nine hundred of this chapter if based solely on a
 coding determination. Nothing in this subsection shall  apply  to  those
 instances  in  which  the  insurer or organization, or corporation has a
 reasonable suspicion of fraud or abuse OR WHEN AN INSURER, ORGANIZATION,
 OR CORPORATION ENGAGES IN REASONABLE FRAUD, WASTE  AND  ABUSE  DETECTION
 EFFORTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, TO THE EXTENT ANY SUBSEQUENT PAYMENT ADJUST-
 MENTS ARE MADE AS A RESULT OF THE FRAUD, WASTE AND ABUSE DETECTION PROC-

 practice law and rules  and  other  laws  relating  to  malpractice  and

 professional medical conduct, as amended by section 4 of part F of chap-
 ter 57 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
   §  40.  The superintendent of financial services shall establish rates
 for policies providing coverage  for  physicians  and  surgeons  medical
 malpractice  for the periods commencing July 1, 1985 and ending June 30,
 [2020] 2021; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision
 of law, the superintendent shall not establish or approve  any  increase
 in  rates  for  the  period  commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
 2010. The superintendent shall direct insurers to  establish  segregated
 accounts  for premiums, payments, reserves and investment income attrib-
 utable to such premium periods and shall require periodic reports by the
 insurers regarding claims and expenses attributable to such  periods  to
 monitor whether such accounts will be sufficient to meet incurred claims
 and  expenses. On or after July 1, 1989, the superintendent shall impose
 a surcharge on premiums  to  satisfy  a  projected  deficiency  that  is
 attributable  to the premium levels established pursuant to this section
 for such periods; provided, however, that such  annual  surcharge  shall
 not  exceed  eight  percent of the established rate until July 1, [2020]
 2021, at which time and thereafter such surcharge shall not exceed twen-
 ty-five percent of the approved adequate  rate,  and  that  such  annual
 surcharges shall continue for such period of time as shall be sufficient
 to  satisfy  such  deficiency.  The superintendent shall not impose such
 surcharge during the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June  30,
 2010.  On  and  after  July  1,  1989,  the surcharge prescribed by this
 section shall be retained by insurers to the extent  that  they  insured
 physicians  and surgeons during the July 1, 1985 through June 30, [2020]
 2021 policy periods; in the event  and  to  the  extent  physicians  and
 surgeons  were  insured by another insurer during such periods, all or a
 pro rata share of the surcharge, as the case may be, shall  be  remitted
 to  such  other  insurer  in accordance with rules and regulations to be
 promulgated by the superintendent.  Surcharges collected from physicians
 and surgeons who were not insured during such policy  periods  shall  be
 apportioned  among  all insurers in proportion to the premium written by
 each insurer during such policy periods; if a physician or  surgeon  was
 insured by an insurer subject to rates established by the superintendent
 during  such  policy  periods,  and  at  any time thereafter a hospital,
 health maintenance organization, employer or institution is  responsible
 for  responding in damages for liability arising out of such physician's
 or surgeon's practice of medicine, such responsible  entity  shall  also
 remit  to  such  prior  insurer the equivalent amount that would then be
 collected as a surcharge if the physician or surgeon  had  continued  to
 remain  insured  by  such  prior  insurer. In the event any insurer that
 provided coverage during such policy  periods  is  in  liquidation,  the
 property/casualty  insurance  security fund shall receive the portion of
 surcharges to which the insurer in liquidation would have been entitled.
 The surcharges authorized herein shall be deemed to be income earned for
 the purposes of section 2303 of the insurance law.  The  superintendent,
 in  establishing  adequate  rates and in determining any projected defi-
 ciency pursuant to the requirements of this section  and  the  insurance
 law,  shall  give  substantial  weight, determined in his discretion and
 judgment, to the  prospective  anticipated  effect  of  any  regulations
 promulgated  and  laws  enacted  and the public benefit of   stabilizing
 malpractice rates and minimizing rate level fluctuation during the peri-
 od of time necessary for the development of  more  reliable  statistical
 experience  as  to  the  efficacy of such laws and regulations affecting
 medical, dental or podiatric malpractice enacted or promulgated in 1985,

 1986, by this act and at any other time.  Notwithstanding any  provision
 of the insurance law, rates already established and to be established by
 the  superintendent pursuant to this section are deemed adequate if such
 rates  would be adequate when taken together with the maximum authorized
 annual surcharges to be imposed for a reasonable period of time  whether
 or  not  any  such  annual surcharge has been actually imposed as of the
 establishment of such rates.

 chapter  63  of  the  laws  of 2001, amending chapter 266 of the laws of
 1986, amending the civil practice law and rules and other laws  relating
 to malpractice and professional medical conduct, as amended by section 5

   Section  1.    The  Legislature hereby finds and declares that medical
 assistance for needy persons is a matter of public concern and a  neces-
 sity  in  promoting  the public health and welfare and for promoting the
 state's goal of making available to everyone, regardless of  race,  age,
 gender,  national  origin  or  economic  standing, uniform, high-quality
 medical care. As the department of health is  the  single  state  agency
 responsible  for  supervising  the administration of the state's medical
 assistance program (Medicaid), it is tasked  with  ensuring  efficiency,
 economy,  and quality of care in providing benefits to the state's needy
 persons. To this end and with the fiscal constraints facing our state in
 mind, the department of health continues to analyze the Medicaid program
 in search of ways to ensure Medicaid spending is held to the standard of
 efficiency, economy, and quality of care. In consideration of this stan-
 dard, the department of health is hereby directed to exercise its exist-
 ing administrative authority to remove the pharmacy benefit from managed
 care benefit package and instead provide the pharmacy benefit under  the
 fee for service program, except where otherwise required by federal law,
 to  ensure  transparency and that the benefit is provided to the fullest
 extent and as efficiently  as  possible;  provided,  however,  that  the
 department  of health shall not implement the transition of the pharmacy

 program  sooner  than  April 1, 2021, and until it is satisfied that all
 necessary and appropriate transition planning has occurred, in its  sole
 discretion,  and  federal  approvals have been obtained and preparations
 have been made. Furthermore, to ensure an orderly transition,  continued
 access  to  medications,  and appropriate patient education and support,
 the department may establish uniform  standards,  payment  policies  and
 reimbursement  methodologies  for  any sites where drugs may be adminis-
 tered or dispensed under the fee for  service  program;  provided  that,
 subject  to  the  availability  of federal financial participation, when
 reimbursing covered entities, as  defined  under  section  340B  of  the
 public health service act (42 U.S.C. §256b), for drugs that would other-
 wise  be  eligible  for  pricing under section 340B of the public health
 service act, the department shall examine all reasonably available meth-
 ods  for  determining  actual  acquisition  cost  and  the  professional
 dispensing fee and, beginning in the fiscal year starting April 1, 2021,
 review  and adjust reimbursement for such drugs such that no sooner than
 April 1, 2023, reimbursement shall be determined based on a method  that
 the  commissioner  determines that utilizes the actual acquisition costs
 and professional dispensing fee.
   § 1-a. The commissioner of health  shall  convene  an  advisory  group
 composed of stakeholder representatives determined in the commissioner's
 sole  discretion,  for purposes of providing non-binding recommendations
 to the department by October 1, 2020 on available methods  of  achieving
 savings  in the state fiscal years beginning on and after April 1, 2021,

 section 340B of the public health service act, and for which the depart-
 ment has existing authority to take such action.

 notified in writing that information has  not  been  disclosed  under  a
 particular subdivision of such section, and the discoverable portions of
 such  materials  shall  be disclosed to the extent practicable. When the
 discoverable materials, INCLUDING VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM BODY-WORN  CAMERAS,
 SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS, OR DASHBOARD CAMERAS, are exceptionally voluminous
 or, despite diligent, good faith efforts, are otherwise not in the actu-
 al  possession of the prosecution, the time period in this paragraph may
 be stayed by up to an additional thirty calendar days without need for a
 motion pursuant to subdivision two of section 245.70 of this article.

 TION,  INFORMATION,  SIMPLIFIED  INFORMATION,  MISDEMEANOR  COMPLAINT OR

 OFFENSES AS DEFINED BY THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF A VILLAGE, TOWN,  CITY,  OR
 COUNTY, THAT DO NOT CARRY A STATUTORILY AUTHORIZED SENTENCE OF IMPRISON-
 MENT,  AND  WHERE  THE DEFENDANT STANDS CHARGED BEFORE THE COURT WITH NO
 CRIME OR OFFENSE, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT  NOTHING  IN  THIS  SUBPARAGRAPH
 SHALL  PREVENT  A  DEFENDANT FROM FILING A MOTION FOR DISCLOSURE OF SUCH
 ITEMS AND INFORMATION UNDER SUBDIVISION ONE OF SUCH  SECTION  245.20  OF
 THIS ARTICLE AT AN EARLIER DATE.
   (IV)(A)  PORTIONS  OF  MATERIALS CLAIMED TO BE NON-DISCOVERABLE MAY BE
 WITHHELD PENDING A DETERMINATION AND RULING OF THE COURT  UNDER  SECTION
 245.70  OF  THIS ARTICLE; BUT THE DEFENDANT SHALL BE NOTIFIED IN WRITING
 THAT INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN DISCLOSED UNDER A  PARTICULAR  SUBDIVISION

 WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAS SUBSTANTIATED AFFILIATION WITH A CRIMINAL ENTER-
 PRISE AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 460.10 OF THE PENAL LAW
 MAY BE WITHHELD, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT MAY MOVE THE COURT FOR
 DISCLOSURE.
   (B) WHEN THE DISCOVERABLE MATERIALS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY  VOLUMINOUS  OR,
 DESPITE  DILIGENT,  GOOD  FAITH EFFORTS, ARE OTHERWISE NOT IN THE ACTUAL
 POSSESSION OF THE PROSECUTION, THE TIME PERIOD IN THIS PARAGRAPH MAY  BE

 RIALS  MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM BODY WORN
 CAMERAS, SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS OR DASHBOARD CAMERAS.
   § 2. Paragraphs (c), (f), (g) and (j)  of  subdivision  1  of  section
 245.20  of the criminal procedure law, as added by section 2 of part LLL
 of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, are amended to read as follows:
   (c) The names and adequate contact information for all  persons  other
 than  law  enforcement  personnel  whom  the  prosecutor  knows  to have
 evidence or information relevant to any offense charged or to any poten-
 tial defense thereto, including a designation by the  prosecutor  as  to
 which of those persons may be called as witnesses. Nothing in this para-
 graph  shall  require  the  disclosure  of physical addresses; provided,
 however, upon a motion and good cause shown the  court  may  direct  the
 disclosure  of  a  physical  address. Information under this subdivision
 relating to THE IDENTITY OF A 911 CALLER, THE VICTIM OR  WITNESS  OF  AN
 OFFENSE  DEFINED  UNDER  ARTICLE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY OR SECTION 230.34 OR
 230.34-A OF THE PENAL LAW, ANY OTHER VICTIM OR WITNESS OF A CRIME  WHERE
 THE  DEFENDANT  HAS SUBSTANTIATED AFFILIATION WITH A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE
 AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF SECTION 460.10 OF THE PENAL LAW, OR a
 confidential informant may be  withheld,  and  redacted  from  discovery
 materials,  without need for a motion pursuant to section 245.70 of this
 article; but the prosecution shall notify the defendant in writing  that
 such  information  has not been disclosed, unless the court rules other-
 wise for good cause shown.
   (f) Expert opinion evidence, including  the  name,  business  address,
 current  curriculum  vitae,  a list of publications, and [all] A LIST OF
 proficiency tests and results administered or taken within the past  ten
 years  of  each  expert witness whom the prosecutor intends to call as a
 witness at trial or a pre-trial hearing, and all reports prepared by the
 expert that pertain to the case, or if no report is prepared, a  written
 statement  of  the facts and opinions to which the expert is expected to

 S. 7506--B                         350                        A. 9506--B
 
 testify and a summary of the grounds for each  opinion.  This  paragraph
 does  not  alter  or  in  any  way affect the procedures, obligations or
 rights set forth in section 250.10 of this title. If in the exercise  of
 reasonable  diligence  this  information  is  unavailable for disclosure
 within the time period specified in subdivision one of section 245.10 of
 this article, that period shall be stayed  without  need  for  a  motion
 pursuant  to  subdivision  two of section 245.70 of this article; except
 that the prosecution shall notify the defendant  in  writing  that  such
 information has not been disclosed, and such disclosure shall be made as
 soon  as  practicable  and not later than sixty calendar days before the
 first scheduled trial date, unless an  order  is  obtained  pursuant  to
 section 245.70 of this article. When the prosecution's expert witness is
 being  called  in  response  to  disclosure  of an expert witness by the
 defendant, the court shall alter a scheduled trial date,  if  necessary,
 to allow the prosecution thirty calendar days to make the disclosure and
 the  defendant  thirty  calendar  days to prepare and respond to the new
 materials.
   (g) All tapes or other electronic recordings, including all electronic
 recordings of 911 telephone calls made or received  in  connection  with
 the alleged criminal incident, and a designation by the prosecutor as to
 which  of the recordings under this paragraph the prosecution intends to
 introduce at trial or a pre-trial hearing. If the discoverable materials
 under this paragraph exceed ten hours in total length,  the  prosecution
 may  disclose  only the recordings that it intends to introduce at trial
 or a pre-trial hearing, along with a list of the source and  approximate
 quantity  of other recordings and their general subject matter if known,
 and the defendant shall have the right upon request to obtain recordings
 not previously disclosed. The prosecution shall disclose  the  requested
 materials as soon as practicable and not less than fifteen calendar days
 after  the  defendant's request, unless an order is obtained pursuant to
 section 245.70 of this article. THE PROSECUTION MAY WITHHOLD  THE  NAMES
 AND  IDENTIFYING INFORMATION OF ANY PERSON WHO CONTACTED 911 WITHOUT THE
 NEED FOR A PROTECTIVE ORDER PURSUANT TO SECTION 245.70 OF THIS  ARTICLE,
 PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT MAY MOVE THE COURT FOR DISCLOSURE.  IF
 THE PROSECUTION INTENDS TO CALL SUCH PERSON AS A WITNESS AT A  TRIAL  OR
 HEARING,  THE PROSECUTION MUST DISCLOSE THE NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION
 OF SUCH WITNESS NO LATER THAN FIFTEEN DAYS BEFORE SUCH TRIAL OR HEARING,
 OR AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
   (j) All reports, documents, records, data, calculations  or  writings,
 including but not limited to preliminary tests and screening results and
 bench  notes and analyses performed or stored electronically, concerning
 physical or mental examinations, or scientific tests or  experiments  or
 comparisons,  relating  to  the criminal action or proceeding which were
 made by or at the request or direction of a public  servant  engaged  in
 law enforcement activity, or which were made by a person whom the prose-
 cutor  intends  to call as a witness at trial or a pre-trial hearing, or
 which the prosecution intends to introduce at trial or a pre-trial hear-
 ing. Information under this paragraph also includes, but is not  limited
 to,  laboratory  information  management system records relating to such
 materials, any preliminary or final  findings  of  non-conformance  with
 accreditation,  industry  or governmental standards or laboratory proto-
 cols, and any conflicting analyses or results  by  laboratory  personnel
 regardless  of the laboratory's final analysis or results. If the prose-
 cution submitted one or more items for testing to, or  received  results
 from,  a  forensic  science  laboratory  or similar entity not under the
 prosecution's direction or control, the court on motion of a party shall

 S. 7506--B                         351                        A. 9506--B
 
 issue subpoenas or orders to such laboratory or entity to cause  materi-
 als under this paragraph to be made available for disclosure. THE PROSE-
 CUTION  SHALL  NOT  BE  REQUIRED  TO  PROVIDE INFORMATION RELATED TO THE
 RESULTS  OF  PHYSICAL  OR  MENTAL  EXAMINATIONS,  OR SCIENTIFIC TESTS OR
 EXPERIMENTS OR COMPARISONS, UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH  EXAMINATIONS,  TESTS,
 EXPERIMENTS, OR COMPARISONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
   §  3. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of section 245.70 of the criminal procedure
 law, as added by section 2 of part LLL of chapter  59  of  the  laws  of
 2019, are amended to read as follows:
   1.  Any  discovery subject to protective order. Upon a showing of good
 cause by either party, the court may at any time order that discovery or
 inspection of any kind of material or information under this article  be
 denied, restricted, conditioned or deferred, or make such other order as
 is  appropriate,  INCLUDING, FOR 911 CALLS, ALLOWING THE DISCLOSURE OF A
 TRANSCRIPT OF AN AUDIO RECORDING IN LIEU OF THE RECORDING. The court may
 impose as a condition on discovery to a defendant that the  material  or
 information  to  be  discovered  be  available  only  to counsel for the
 defendant; or,  alternatively,  that  counsel  for  the  defendant,  and
 persons  employed by the attorney or appointed by the court to assist in
 the preparation of a defendant's case, may not disclose physical  copies
 of the discoverable documents to a defendant or to anyone else, provided
 that  the  prosecution  affords the defendant access to inspect redacted
 copies of the discoverable  documents  at  a  supervised  location  that
 provides  regular  and  reasonable  hours  for  such  access,  such as a
 prosecutor's office, police station, facility of  detention,  or  court.
 Should the court impose as a condition that some material or information
 be  available  only to counsel for the defendant, the court shall inform
 the defendant on the record that his or her attorney is not permitted by
 law to disclose such material or information to the defendant. The court
 may permit a party seeking or opposing a  protective  order  under  this
 section,  or another affected person, to submit papers or testify on the
 record ex parte or in camera.  Any such papers and a transcript of  such
 testimony  may  be  sealed  and shall constitute a part of the record on
 appeal. This section does not alter the  allocation  of  the  burden  of
 proof with regard to matters at issue, including privilege.
   3.  Prompt  hearing.  Upon  request for a protective order, unless the
 defendant voluntarily consents to the people's request for a  protective
 order, the court shall conduct an appropriate hearing within three busi-
 ness  days to determine whether good cause has been shown and when prac-
 ticable shall render a decision expeditiously. Any  materials  submitted
 and  a transcript of the proceeding may be sealed and shall constitute a
 part of the record on appeal. WHEN  THE  DEFENDANT  IS  CHARGED  WITH  A
 VIOLENT  FELONY OFFENSE AS DEFINED IN SECTION 70.02 OF THE PENAL LAW, OR
 ANY CLASS A FELONY OTHER THAN THOSE DEFINED IN ARTICLE TWO HUNDRED TWEN-
 TY OF THE PENAL LAW, THE COURT MAY, AT  THE  PROSECUTOR'S  REQUEST,  FOR
 GOOD  CAUSE  SHOWN, CONDUCT SUCH HEARING IN CAMERA AND OUTSIDE THE PRES-
 ENCE OF THE DEFENDANT, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT THIS SHALL NOT  AFFECT  THE
 RIGHTS OF THE COURT TO RECEIVE TESTIMONY OR PAPERS EX-PARTE OR IN CAMERA
 AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISION ONE OF THIS SECTION.
   §  4.  Section  216  of  the  judiciary law is amended by adding a new
 subdivision 5 to read as follows:
   5. THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR OF THE  COURTS,  IN  CONJUNCTION  WITH  THE
 DIVISION  OF  CRIMINAL  JUSTICE  SERVICES, SHALL COLLECT DATA AND REPORT
 ANNUALLY REGARDING THE IMPACT OF ARTICLE TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE  OF  THE
 CRIMINAL  PROCEDURE  LAW. SUCH DATA AND REPORT SHALL CONTAIN INFORMATION
 REGARDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE TWO HUNDRED  FORTY-FIVE  OF  THE

 S. 7506--B                         352                        A. 9506--B

 CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW, INCLUDING PROCEDURES USED TO IMPLEMENT THE ARTI-
 CLE,  RESOURCES  NEEDED  FOR IMPLEMENTATION, INFORMATION REGARDING CASES
 WHERE DISCOVERY OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT MET, AND INFORMATION REGARDING  CASE
 OUTCOMES.  THE  REPORT  SHALL  BE RELEASED PUBLICLY AND PUBLISHED ON THE
 WEBSITES OF THE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION AND THE DIVISION OF CRIM-
 INAL JUSTICE SERVICES. THE FIRST  REPORT  SHALL  BE  PUBLISHED  EIGHTEEN
 MONTHS  AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS SECTION, AND SHALL INCLUDE DATA
 FROM THE FIRST TWELVE MONTHS FOLLOWING THE ENACTMENT  OF  THIS  SECTION.
 REPORTS FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS SHALL PUBLISHED ANNUALLY THEREAFTER.
   § 5. Section 245.75 of the criminal procedure law, as added by section
 2  of  part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as
 follows:
 § 245.75 Waiver of discovery by defendant.
   1. A defendant who does not seek discovery from the prosecution  under
 this  article  shall  so  notify  the  prosecution  and the court at the
 defendant's arraignment on an indictment,  superior  court  information,
 prosecutor's  information,  information,  or  simplified information, or
 expeditiously thereafter but before receiving discovery from the  prose-
 cution  pursuant  to  subdivision one of section 245.20 of this article,
 and the defendant need not provide discovery to the prosecution pursuant
 to subdivision four of section 245.20 and section 245.60 of  this  arti-
 cle. A waiver shall be in writing, signed for the individual case by THE
 counsel  for  the  defendant  and  filed with the court. THE COURT SHALL
 INQUIRE OF THE DEFENDANT ON THE RECORD  TO  ENSURE  THAT  THE  DEFENDANT
 UNDERSTANDS  HIS OR HER RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND RIGHT TO WAIVE DISCOVERY.
 Such a waiver does not alter or in any way affect the procedures,  obli-
 gations  or  rights  set  forth in sections 250.10, 250.20 and 250.30 of
 this title, or otherwise established or required by law. The prosecution
 may not condition a guilty plea offer on the defense's  execution  of  a
 waiver  under  this section. COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENDANT MAY ADVISE HIS OR
 HER CLIENT ABOUT THE DEFENDANT'S RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND RIGHT  TO  WAIVE
 DISCOVERY;  SUCH  ADVICE  SHALL  NOT  CONSTITUTE A CONDITION OF A GUILTY
 PLEA.
   2. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL PREVENT THE WAIVER OF DISCOVERY  FROM
 BEING  A  CONDITION  OF  THE  REPLEADER,  WHERE THE DEFENDANT'S ORIGINAL
 CONVICTION IS VACATED ON  AGREEMENT  BETWEEN  THE  PARTIES  PURSUANT  TO
 SECTION 440.10 OF THIS PART.
   § 6. Subdivision 2 of section 245.25 of the criminal procedure law, as
 added  by  section  2  of part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is
 amended and a new subdivision 3 is added to read as follows:
   2. Other guilty pleas. Upon an indictment, superior court information,
 prosecutor's information, information, simplified information, or misde-
 meanor complaint, where the prosecution has made  a  guilty  plea  offer
 requiring  a  plea  to  a  crime,  the  prosecutor  must disclose to the
 defense, and permit the defense to discover, inspect,  copy,  photograph
 and  test, all items and information that would be discoverable prior to
 trial under subdivision one of section 245.20 of this  article  and  are
 within the possession, custody or control of the prosecution. The prose-
 cution  shall  disclose  the discoverable items and information not less
 than seven calendar days prior to the expiration date of any guilty plea
 offer by the prosecution or  any  deadline  imposed  by  the  court  for
 acceptance  of the guilty plea offer. If the prosecution does not comply
 with the requirements of this subdivision, then, on a defendant's motion
 alleging a violation of this subdivision, the court  must  consider  the
 impact  of any violation on the defendant's decision to accept or reject
 a plea offer. If the court finds that such violation materially affected

 S. 7506--B                         353                        A. 9506--B
 
 the defendant's decision, and if the prosecution declines  to  reinstate
 the lapsed or withdrawn plea offer, the court - as a presumptive minimum
 sanction  -  must  preclude  the  admission at trial of any evidence not
 disclosed  as  required under this subdivision. The court may take other
 appropriate action as  necessary  to  address  the  non-compliance.  The
 rights  under this subdivision do not apply to items or information that
 are the subject of a protective order under section 245.70 of this arti-
 cle; but if such information tends to be exculpatory,  the  court  shall
 reconsider the protective order. A defendant may waive his or her rights
 under  this  subdivision; but a guilty plea offer may not be conditioned
 on such waiver.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE TIMELINES CONTAINED IN THE  OPENING
 PARAGRAPH  OF PARAGRAPH (A) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 245.10 OF THIS
 ARTICLE, THE PROSECUTOR'S DISCOVERY OBLIGATION UNDER SUBDIVISION ONE  OF
 SECTION  245.20  OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL BE PERFORMED AS SOON AS PRACTICA-
 BLE, BUT NOT LATER THAN FIFTEEN DAYS BEFORE THE TRIAL  OF  A  SIMPLIFIED
 INFORMATION  CHARGING A TRAFFIC INFRACTION UNDER THE VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC
 LAW, OR BY AN INFORMATION CHARGING ONE OR MORE PETTY OFFENSES AS DEFINED
 BY THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF A VILLAGE, TOWN, CITY, OR COUNTY, THAT  DO  NOT
 CARRY  A  STATUTORILY AUTHORIZED SENTENCE OF IMPRISONMENT, AND WHERE THE
 DEFENDANT STANDS CHARGED BEFORE THE COURT  WITH  NO  CRIME  OR  OFFENSE,
 PROVIDED  HOWEVER  THAT  NOTHING  IN  THIS  SUBDIVISION  SHALL PREVENT A
 DEFENDANT FROM FILING A MOTION FOR DISCLOSURE OF SUCH ITEMS AND INFORMA-
 TION UNDER SUBDIVISION ONE OF SUCH SECTION 245.20 OF THIS ARTICLE AT  AN
 EARLIER DATE.
   3.  REPLEADER.  NOTHING  IN  THIS  SECTION SHALL PREVENT THE WAIVER OF
 DISCOVERY FROM BEING A CONDITION OF A REPLEADER, WHERE  THE  DEFENDANT'S
 ORIGINAL CONVICTION IS VACATED ON AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES PURSUANT
 TO SECTION 440.10 OF THIS PART.
   § 7. Section 245.50 of the criminal procedure law, as added by section
 2  of  part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is amended to read as
 follows:
 § 245.50 Certificates of compliance; readiness for trial.
   1. By the prosecution. When the prosecution has provided the discovery
 required by subdivision one of section 245.20 of  this  article,  EXCEPT
 FOR  DISCOVERY THAT IS LOST OR DESTROYED AS PROVIDED BY PARAGRAPH (B) OF
 SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION 245.80 OF THIS ARTICLE  AND  except  for  any
 items  or  information  that  are  the  subject  of an order pursuant to
 section 245.70 of this article, it shall serve upon  the  defendant  and
 file  with  the  court  a  certificate of compliance. The certificate of
 compliance shall state that, after exercising due diligence  and  making
 reasonable inquiries to ascertain the existence of material and informa-
 tion  subject to discovery, the prosecutor has disclosed and made avail-
 able all known material and information subject to discovery.  It  shall
 also identify the items provided. If additional discovery is subsequent-
 ly provided prior to trial pursuant to section 245.60 of this article, a
 supplemental  certificate  shall  be served upon the defendant and filed
 with the court  identifying  the  additional  material  and  information
 provided.  No  adverse  consequence to the prosecution or the prosecutor
 shall result from the filing of a  certificate  of  compliance  in  good
 faith  AND REASONABLE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES; but the court may grant a
 remedy or sanction for a discovery  violation  as  provided  in  section
 245.80 of this article.
   2.  By  the  defendant.  When the defendant has provided all discovery
 required by subdivision four of section 245.20 of this  article,  except
 for  any  items or information that are the subject of an order pursuant
 to section 245.70 of this article, counsel for the defendant shall serve

 S. 7506--B                         354                        A. 9506--B
 
 upon the prosecution and file with the court a  certificate  of  compli-
 ance.  The  certificate shall state that, after exercising due diligence
 and making reasonable inquiries to ascertain the existence  of  material
 and  information  subject  to  discovery,  counsel for the defendant has
 disclosed and made available all known material and information  subject
 to  discovery.  It shall also identify the items provided. If additional
 discovery is subsequently provided prior to trial  pursuant  to  section
 245.60  of this article, a supplemental certificate shall be served upon
 the prosecution and filed with  the  court  identifying  the  additional
 material and information provided. No adverse consequence to the defend-
 ant  or  counsel  for  the  defendant  shall result from the filing of a
 certificate of compliance in good faith; but the court may grant a reme-
 dy or sanction for a discovery violation as provided in  section  245.80
 of this article.
   3.  Trial  readiness. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law,
 absent an individualized finding of [exceptional] SPECIAL  circumstances
 IN THE INSTANT CASE by the court before which the charge is pending, the
 prosecution  shall not be deemed ready for trial for purposes of section
 30.30 of this chapter until it has filed a proper  certificate  pursuant
 to  subdivision  one  of  this section. A COURT MAY DEEM THE PROSECUTION
 READY FOR TRIAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.30 OF THIS CHAPTER WHERE INFORMA-
 TION THAT MIGHT BE CONSIDERED DISCOVERABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE CANNOT  BE
 DISCLOSED  BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN LOST, DESTROYED, OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE
 AS PROVIDED BY PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE  OF  SECTION  245.80  OF
 THIS  ARTICLE, DESPITE DILIGENT AND GOOD FAITH EFFORTS, REASONABLE UNDER
 THE CIRCUMSTANCES. PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE COURT MAY GRANT A  REMEDY
 OR  SANCTION  FOR A DISCOVERY VIOLATION AS PROVIDED BY SECTION 245.80 OF
 THIS ARTICLE.
   4. CHALLENGES TO, OR QUESTIONS RELATED TO A CERTIFICATE OF  COMPLIANCE
 SHALL BE ADDRESSED BY MOTION.
   §  8.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 have become a law.
 
                                 PART III
 
   Section 1. Paragraph a of section 11.00 of the local  finance  law  is
 amended by adding a new subdivision 14-b to read as follows:
    14-B.  AIRPORT  CONSTRUCTION  AND  IMPROVEMENT OF THE ITHACA TOMPKINS
 INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THE CONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION, OR EXTENSION OF
 THE ITHACA TOMPKINS INTERNATIONAL  AIRPORT,  WHETHER  OR  NOT  INCLUDING
 BUILDINGS,  HANGARS,  RUNWAYS, TAXI-STRIPS, PAVED AREAS, PERIMETER FENC-
 ING, GRADING, FILLING, DRAINAGE OR OTHER SITE  WORK,  THIRTY-YEARS;  THE
 ACQUISITION  AND  INSTALLATION  OF AN ABOVE GROUND AIRCRAFT FUEL FARM AT
 THE ITHACA TOMPKINS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, INCLUDING  CONNECTING  PIPES,
 VALVES, METERS, PUMPS, CONCRETE SPILL CONTAINMENT FACILITIES, AND APPUR-
 TENANT FACILITIES, TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
                                 PART JJJ
 
   Section  1.  Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the
 Mahopac Central  school  district  approved  eight  capital  improvement
 projects  which  are  designated  as project numbers 0001-010, 0002-011,
 0003-004, 0004-011, 0005-011, 0006-011, 5010-007, and 7012-006. In addi-
 tion, the projects were eligible for certain state aid. The  legislature
 further  finds that due to ministerial error, the required filing of the

 S. 7506--B                         355                        A. 9506--B
 
 final cost reports for such projects were not made by such district in a
 timely manner making the district ineligible for certain aid. The legis-
 lature further finds that without  such  aid,  the  capital  improvement
 projects  will  impose an additional, unanticipated hardship on district
 taxpayers.
   § 2. All the acts done and proceedings heretofore  had  and  taken  or
 caused  to be had or taken by the Mahopac Central school district and by
