Purpose or general idea of bill
Requires the selection of the advisory council be representative of people living with HIV/AIDS in the state of New York.
Summary of specific provisions

The advisory council must reflect the changing circumstances that encompass the HIV/AIDS community in the state of New York. By having term limits, new innovations and ideas from dynamic individuals can be instituted to keep current with the ever changing climate of information regarding HIV/AIDS.
