BILL NUMBER:S7345A
Title of bill
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to requiring adult protective services to consult with the local area agency on aging when the individual requiring services is sixty years of age or older
Purpose or general idea of bill
To improve access to local services for seniors in need of adult protective services by requiring adult protective services, when serving an individual age sixty-two or older, to consult with the local area agencies on aging regarding programs and services.
Summary of specific provisions
Amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 473 of the Social Services Law to require adult protective services, when serving individuals age sixty-two or older, to inform and consult with local area agencies on aging regarding programs and services available to help these individuals.
