BILL NUMBER:S1519
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 329 of the laws of 2009, amending the family court act and the social services law, relating to removing special powers granted to the society for the prevention of cruelty to children, in relation to altering the period of effectiveness of the provisions thereof
Purpose
This bill will extend the operations for the Rockland and Erie Counties' Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children for three years.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one of the bill amends chapter 325 of the laws of 2014 to extend the expiration of the provisions until August 11, 2017.
Section two of the bill sets an immediate effective date.
Justification
In 2009, the legislature disbanded all Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children (SPCC) organizations in the state except two chapters in Rockland County and Erie County. They were exempt from the law because they both operate in a cooperative manner with local governments.
They both provide integral yet different functions; the Rockland SPCC assists local police with preventing underage alcohol and tobacco sales, and the Erie County SPCC provides the county with needed child protective services outside of normal business hours. These organizations not only provide invaluable services to their communities but also save taxpayer dollars. This legislation would extend their operations for an additional five years until 2017.

Effective date
