Title of bill
An act to amend part C of chapter 60 of the laws of 2014, amending the social services law and other laws relating to eliminating prescriber prevails for brand name drugs with generic equivalents, in relation to the establishment of a developmental disability clinician advisory group by the commissioner of health
Purpose
To provide clarification relating to the establishment of a developmental disability clinician advisory group by the commissioner of health.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends section 18 of part c of chapter 60 of the laws of 2014 to provide clarification on the purpose and intent of the establishment of a developmental disability clinician advisory group to provide the department of health with information and data on the effects of policies, including proposed regulations or statutes and of fiscal proposals including rate setting and appropriations on the delivery of supports and services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Justification
In the 2014 budget process language was included to establish a rate setting advisory group to advise the department of health with information and data on the effects of policies, including proposes regulations or statues and of fiscal proposals including rate setting and appropriation on the delivery of supports and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. To date this group has yet to be formed by the Department of Health. This legislation will provide clarification to the number of members of the rate setting advisory group as well as the number of times the group is to meet during the year.
The creation of this advisory group is crucial to ensuring that the providers of supports and services to our most vulnerable individuals are compensated appropriately for the care that they provide.
