A10149 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A10149A
 
SPONSOR: Rivera P (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to including eating disorders awareness, prevention, reduction and treat- ment within the health care and wellness education and outreach program   PURPOSE: To include eating disorders within the health care and well- ness education and outreach program.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision I of section 207 of the public health law to include Eating disorders awareness, prevention, reduction and treatment, especially among children and adolescents within the health care and wellness education and outreach program Section 2 of the bill provides for an immediate effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Alarmingly, in American high schools 30% of girls and 16% of boys suffer from disordered eating, and Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness among adolescents. In fact it has the high- est death rate of any mental illness with females between the ages of 15 and 24 dying 12 times more from their eating disorder than all other causes of death in that age-group. A recent study found that between 1999 and 2006, hospitalizations for eating disorders increased most sharply (119%) for children younger than 12 years old. Clearly eating disorder awareness, detection and prevention must start at early ages and be addressed in a comprehensive manner. Early recognition and intervention of eating disorders has been linked to better treatment outcomes, however it requires enhance screen- ing, awareness and intervention. This bill provides a comprehensive approach by creating an awareness and prevention program to develop a media campaign, establish school-based eating disorders awareness and prevention programs with linkages to health education courses, sponsor periodic conference or meetings of stakeholders and develop, promote and make available training programs for health professionals. New York State has already taken a leading role in recognizing the importance of addressing eating disorders. In 2004 a network of Compre- hensive Care Centers for Eating Disorders were established and in 2007 the Child Performer Advisory Board to Prevent Eating Disorders was enacted. This bill represents the next steps for New York State to ensure we do everything we can to be proactive and save lives   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: To be determined, however with the cost of treat- ing full symptom eating disorders costing upwards of $30,000 per month, this bill can, a minimal cost, result in significant savings to the state health care system while saving lives.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately
