BILL NUMBER:S3638A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to services for individuals with developmental disabilities
Purpose
To ensure that New York State's public policy of providing supports and services for individuals with developmental disabilities, such as residential, day and employment services, will continue for nonprofit entities with experience providing services to those with developmental disabilities.
Justification
New York State has a long history of providing supports and services (such as residential, day and employment services) to individuals with developmental disabilities through partnerships between state and voluntary providers of service. With the transition to managed care, it is important that New York State continues to ensure that the State's public policy of providing residential, day, employment and other supports and services for individuals with developmental disabilities continue to be nonprofit entities with experience providing those services under OPWDD.
As originally envisioned, individuals with developmental disabilities would only transition into managed care and be served by a managed care entity called a DISCO (Developmental Disability Individual Support and Care Coordination organization) which requires that providers of long term care supports and services for individuals with developmental disabilities continue to be nonprofit.
