   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Paragraph (i) of subdivision 4 of section 214 of the elder
 law is amended to read as follows:
   (i) The director, within the amounts appropriated  therefor  and  with
 the approval of the director of the budget, may authorize a county which
 has  an  approved  home  care  plan for functionally impaired elderly to
 provide expanded non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite
 services, case management services, and ancillary services  pursuant  to
 such plan. Such services shall be limited to those services necessary to
 meet  otherwise  unmet  needs  and  which  support such elderly persons'
 continued residence in their homes. Needs will be determined pursuant to
 a standardized evaluation of functional impairment, available  resources
 and  such  other  relevant  factors  specified  pursuant  to regulations
 promulgated by the director.  AGENCIES  PROVIDING  EXPANDED  NON-MEDICAL
 IN-HOME  SERVICES,  NON-INSTITUTIONAL  RESPITE SERVICES, CASE MANAGEMENT
 SERVICES, AND ANCILLARY SERVICES PURSUANT TO SUCH PLAN SHALL NOT NEED  A
 PRESCRIPTION  OR PHYSICIAN'S ORDER TO PROVIDE SUCH SERVICES. No expanded
 non-medical in-home services,  non-institutional  respite  services,  or
 ancillary  services shall be provided to any individual pursuant to this
 section unless such expanded non-medical in-home services,  non-institu-
 tional  respite services, or ancillary services are accompanied by ongo-
 ing case management services in accordance with regulations  promulgated
 by the director.
