 AN  ACT  in  relation  to  directing  the commissioner of health and the
   commissioner of the office for people with developmental  disabilities
   to  conduct  a  study  of the delivery of services to individuals with
   traumatic brain injury

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature recognizes that a trau-
 matic  brain  injury  results from a sudden blow or jolt to the head and
 can present in individuals with a wide range of mild, moderate or severe
 symptoms. Each traumatic brain injury case is unique and complex,  often
 requiring  supports  and  services  to  allow individuals to achieve the
 highest quality of life. This legislation will direct  a  study  on  the
 delivery of services to New Yorkers with traumatic brain injury. Specif-
 ically,  the  study  will evaluate the availability and accessibility of
 quality services, emerging trends, regional disparities, and the  effec-
 tiveness  of  the  administrative process for individuals with traumatic
 brain injury who receive official  approvals  or  denials  of  services.
 Furthermore,  the  commissioner  of  health  and the commissioner of the
 office  for  people  with   developmental   disabilities   should   make
 suggestions  to  enhance  New  York  state's response to traumatic brain
 injuries based on the findings of this study.
   § 2. a. The commissioner of health and the commissioner of the  office
 for  people with developmental disabilities shall conduct a study on the
 delivery of services provided to individuals  diagnosed  with  traumatic
 brain  injury.  Such  services to be studied   shall include, but not be
 limited to acute and sub-acute rehabilitation, counseling and behavioral
 services, home care services, independent living skills training,  envi-
 ronmental  modifications,  housing  opportunities,  and  any services or
 programs specific to traumatic brain injury or  that  serve  individuals

                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
