BILL NUMBER:S6107A
Title of bill
An act to amend a chapter of the laws of 2011, amending the mental hygiene law relating to creating an abuse prevention notification system, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S.5796 and A.8330, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
Purpose or general idea of bill
To make a correction on the effective date.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 changes the effective date of A.8330 and S.5796 from the first of January next succeeding the date on which the act has become law to one hundred eightieth day after the bill has become law, provided, however, that the commissioner shall immediately take necessary actions to ensure that the abuse prevention notification system of the chapter law shall become operational on the one hundredth and eightieth day.
Effects of present law which this bill would alter
Amends a chapter of the laws of 2012.
Justification
This chapter amendment is necessary to ensure that the Office of People with Developmental Disabilities ("OPWDD") has adequate time to create the abuse prevention notification system required by A.8330 and S.5796. Once this bill is enacted, OPWDD will have one hundred and eighty days to create a system where OPWDD providers will be able to obtain the prior abuse history of perspective employees or volunteers. After this law is enacted, OPWDD will immediately take necessary actions to ensure that the system is operational in one hundred and eighty days, including creating technical and operational support for the system and promulgating necessary rules and regulations.
