BILL NUMBER:S3453
Title of bill
An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to input from municipalities relating to the establishment or incorporation of facilities providing chemical dependence services
Purpose
To provide local governmental units with input from a local community regarding the establishment of a chemical dependence facility.
Summary of specific provisions
Paragraph 1 of subdivision (b) of § 3221 of the Mental Hygiene Law is amended to require a local governmental unit (LGU) to solicit and include input from a city, town, or village regarding the establishment of a chemical dependence facility within such city, town, or village that is outside New York City. Prior to a facility being established within New York City, the community board with jurisdiction over the area where such a facility is to be located will provide input to the LGU.
Justification
This bill would ensure that the local community is afforded the opportunity to provide input regarding the establishment of a chemical dependence facility in their area. It would also help to facilitate discussions between the service provider, the local governmental unit, the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS), and the local community about what services are required to best meet the needs of its residents.
