    13  this act, the provisions of this act and the New York city rent stabili-
    14  zation law of nineteen hundred sixty-nine shall be administered  by  the
    15  state  division  of housing and community renewal as provided in the New
    16  York city rent stabilization law  of  nineteen  hundred  sixty-nine,  as
    17  amended,  or  as  otherwise  provided  by law. The costs incurred by the
    18  state division of housing and community renewal  in  administering  such
    19  regulation  shall  be  paid by such city. All payments for such adminis-
    20  tration shall be transmitted to the state division of housing and commu-
    21  nity renewal as follows: on or after April first of each year commencing

    25  annual cost, and one-quarter of such amount shall be paid by  such  city
    26  on  or  before July first of such year, one-quarter of such amount on or
    27  before October first of such year, one-quarter  of  such  amount  on  or
    28  before  January  first  of  the  following  year and one-quarter of such
    29  amount on or before March thirty-first of the following year. After  the
    30  close of the fiscal year of the state, the commissioner, in consultation
    31  with the director of the budget, shall determine the amount of all actu-
    32  al  costs  incurred in such fiscal year and shall certify such amount to
    33  such city. If such certified amount shall differ from the amount paid by
    34  the city for such fiscal year, appropriate adjustments shall be made  in
    35  the  next  quarterly  payment to be made by such city. In the event that
    36  the amount thereof is not paid to the commissioner, in consultation with
    37  the director of the budget, as herein prescribed, the  commissioner,  in
    38  consultation  with  the director of the budget, shall certify the unpaid
    39  amount to the comptroller, and the comptroller shall, to the extent  not
    40  otherwise  prohibited  by  law,  withhold such amount from any state aid
    41  payable to such city. In no event shall the amount imposed on the owners
    42  exceed twenty dollars per unit per year.
    43    § 2. Subdivisions d and e of section 8 of section 4 of chapter 576  of
    44  the  laws  of  1974, constituting the emergency tenant protection act of

    47  section 1 of part O of chapter 57 of the laws of 2009,  are  amended  to
    48  read as follows:
    49    d.  Notwithstanding  subdivision  c  of  this  section  or  any  other
    50  provision of law to the contrary, whenever the state  has  incurred  any
    51  costs  as  a  result  of administering the rent regulation program for a
    52  city having a population of one  million  or  more  in  accordance  with
    53  subdivision c of this section, on or after April first of each year, the
    54  commissioner  of housing and community renewal, in consultation with the
        S. 7506--B                         41                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  director of the budget, shall determine an amount  necessary  to  defray
     2  the state's anticipated annual cost. In the event that the division does
     3  not  send  a  bill  to  the city to defray such costs in accordance with
     4  subdivision  c  of  this section, it shall submit to the city an invoice
     5  showing all such costs as soon as practicable after  the  start  of  the
     6  state fiscal year in which the costs are to be incurred. The director of
     7  the budget may direct any other state agency to reduce the amount of any
     8  other  payment  or payments owed to such city or any department, agency,
     9  or instrumentality thereof; provided however, that such reduction  shall
    10  be  made no sooner than thirty days after the transmittal of the invoice
    11  of costs, and shall be in an amount equal to the costs incurred  by  the
    12  state  in  administering  the  rent  regulation program for such city in
    13  accordance with subdivision c of this section.   Within thirty  days  of
    14  the  receipt of the invoice of costs, the city may send to the division,
    15  in written form, requests for additional information  relating  to  such
    16  costs,  including  any recommendations on which local assistance payment
    17  would be reduced.  If the director of the budget makes such direction in
    18  accordance with this subdivision, the impacted city shall not  make  the
    19  payments  required by subdivision c of this section, and the division of
    20  housing and community renewal shall notify such city in writing of  what
    21  payment  or payments will be reduced and the amount of the reduction and
    22  shall suballocate, as necessary, the value of the costs it  incurred  to
    23  the  agency  or  agencies which reduces the payments to such city or any
    24  department, agency or authority thereof in accordance with this subdivi-
    25  sion.
    26    e. The failure to pay the prescribed assessment not to  exceed  twenty
    27  dollars  per  unit  for any housing accommodation subject to this act or
    28  the New York city rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred  sixty-nine
    29  shall constitute a charge due and owing such city, town or village which
    30  has  imposed an annual charge for each such housing accommodation pursu-
    31  ant to subdivision b of this section. Any such  city,  town  or  village
    32  shall  be authorized to provide for the enforcement of the collection of
    33  such charges by commencing an action or proceeding for the  recovery  of
    34  such  fees  or  by  the filing of a lien upon the building and lot. Such
    35  methods for the enforcement of the collection of such charges  shall  be
    36  the sole remedy for the enforcement of this section.
    37    [e.] f. The division shall maintain at least one office in each county
    38  which  is  governed  by  the  rent stabilization law of nineteen hundred
    39  sixty-nine or this act; provided, however, that the division  shall  not
    40  be  required  to maintain an office in the counties of Nassau, Rockland,
    41  or Richmond.
    42    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

    43                                   PART J
 
    44    Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section  196-b  to
    45  read as follows:
    46    §  196-b. Sick leave requirements. 1. Every employer shall be required
    47  to provide its employees with sick leave as follows:
    48    a. For employers with four or fewer employees in  any  calendar  year,
    49  each  employee  shall  be provided with up to forty hours of unpaid sick
    50  leave in each calendar year; provided, however, an employer that employs
    51  four or fewer employees in any calendar year and that has a  net  income
    52  of  greater  than  one  million  dollars  in the previous tax year shall
    53  provide each employee with up to forty hours of paid sick leave pursuant
    54  to this section;
        S. 7506--B                         42                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    b. For employers with between five and ninety-nine  employees  in  any
     2  calendar year, each employee shall be provided with up to forty hours of
     3  paid sick leave in each calendar year; and
     4    c.  For  employers  with one hundred or more employees in any calendar

     7    For purposes of determining the number of employees pursuant  to  this
     8  subdivision,  a  calendar  year  shall mean the twelve-month period from
     9  January first through December thirty-first.  For all other purposes,  a
    10  calendar  year  shall  either  mean the twelve-month period from January
    11  first through  December  thirty-first,  or  a  regular  and  consecutive
    12  twelve-month period, as determined by an employer.
    13    2.  Nothing  in this section shall be construed to prohibit or prevent

    22  hours actually worked by an employee during the calendar  year  if  such
    23  employer elects pursuant to this subdivision.
    24    3.  Employees  shall  accrue sick leave at a rate of not less than one
    25  hour per every thirty hours worked, beginning  at  the  commencement  of

    32  such employee or such employee's family member,  regardless  of  whether
    33  such illness, injury, or health condition has been diagnosed or requires
    34  medical care at the time that such employee requests such leave;
    35    (ii)  for  the  diagnosis,  care, or treatment of a mental or physical

    47  relocate, or take other actions to increase the safety of  the  employee
    48  or employee's family members;
    49    (c)  to  meet  with  an  attorney or other social services provider to

        S. 7506--B                         43                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (g) to take any other actions necessary to ensure the health or safety
     2  of the employee or the employee's family member or to protect those  who
     3  associate or work with the employee.
     4    For  purposes  of  this  subdivision,  the  reasons  outlined above in
     5  subparagraph (a) through (g) must be related to the  domestic  violence,
     6  family offense, sexual offense, stalking, or human trafficking. Provided
     7  further  that  a person who has committed such domestic violence, family
     8  offense, sexual offense, stalking, or human  trafficking  shall  not  be
     9  eligible  for  leave  under this subdivision for situations in which the

    18  biological, adopted or foster child, a legal ward,  or  a  child  of  an
    19  employee standing in loco parentis.
    20    5.  a.  An  employer  may  not  require the disclosure of confidential
    21  information relating to a mental or physical illness, injury, or  health
    22  condition of such employee or such employee's family member, or informa-
    23  tion  relating  to  absence from work due to domestic violence, a sexual
    24  offense, stalking, or human trafficking, as  a  condition  of  providing

    26    b.  An  employer may set a reasonable minimum increment for the use of
    27  sick leave which shall not exceed four hours.  Employees  shall  receive
    28  compensation  at his or her regular rate of pay, or the applicable mini-

    34  forty hours per calendar year; and (ii) an employer with one hundred  or
    35  more  employees  may  limit the use of sick leave to fifty-six hours per

    37  employer  to  pay an employee for unused sick leave upon such employee's
    38  termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation  from  employ-
    39  ment.
    40    7.  No  employer  or  his or her agent, or the officer or agent of any
    41  corporation, partnership, or limited liability  company,  or  any  other
    42  person,  shall  discharge,  threaten,  penalize,  or in any other manner
    43  discriminate or retaliate against any employee because such employee has
    44  exercised his or her rights afforded under this section, including,  but
    45  not  limited  to, requesting sick leave and using sick leave, consistent
    46  with the provisions of section two hundred fifteen of this chapter.
    47    8. An employer shall not be required to provide  any  additional  sick
    48  leave  pursuant to this section if the employer has adopted a sick leave
    49  policy or time off policy that provides  employees  with  an  amount  of
    50  leave  which  meets or exceeds the requirements set forth in subdivision
    51  one of this section  and  satisfies  the  accrual,  carryover,  and  use
    52  requirements of this section.
    53    9.  Nothing  in  this  section  shall  be  construed to: a. prohibit a
    54  collective bargaining agreement entered into, on or after the  effective

        S. 7506--B                         44                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  such agreement in the form of paid days off; such paid days off shall be
     2  in  the  form  of  leave, compensation, other employee benefits, or some
     3  combination thereof; or
     4    b. impede, infringe, or diminish the ability of a certified collective
     5  bargaining  agent  to  negotiate  the terms and conditions of sick leave
     6  different from the provisions of this section.
     7    Provided, however, that in the case of either paragraph a or b of this
     8  subdivision, the agreement must specifically acknowledge the  provisions
     9  of this section.
    10    10.  Upon  return  to  work following any sick leave taken pursuant to
    11  this section, an employee shall be restored by his or  her  employer  to
    12  the position of employment held by such employee prior to any sick leave
    13  taken  pursuant  to  this  section with the same pay and other terms and
    14  conditions of employment.
    15    11. Upon the oral or written request of an employee, an employer shall
    16  provide a summary of the amounts of sick leave accrued and used by  such
    17  employee in the current calendar year and/or any previous calendar year.
    18  The employer shall provide such information to the employee within three

    20    12.  Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a city with
    21  a population of one million or more from enacting  and  enforcing  local
    22  laws or ordinances which meet or exceed the standard or requirements for
    23  minimum  hour  and  use  set forth in this section, as determined by the
    24  commissioner. Any paid sick leave benefits  provided  by  a  sick  leave
    25  program  enforced  by a municipal corporation in effect as of the effec-
    26  tive date of this section shall not be diminished or limited as a result
    27  of the enactment of this section.
    28    13. The commissioner shall have authority  to  adopt  regulations  and
    29  issue  guidance  to  effectuate  any  of the provisions of this section.
    30  Employers shall comply with regulations and guidance promulgated by  the

    43  intended parent, who enters into a surrogacy agreement to bear  a  child

    11  of  this section to be true, the court shall issue a judgment of parent-
    12  age, without additional proceedings or documentation:
    13    (1) declaring, that upon the birth of the child born during  the  term
    14  of  the surrogacy agreement, the intended parent or parents are the only
    15  legal parent or parents of the child;
    16    (2) declaring, that upon the birth of the child born during  the  term
    17  of  the  surrogacy  agreement,  the  person acting as surrogate, and the

    19  parent of the child;

    35  as  may  assist  in  identifying  the  birth  record of the person whose
    36  parentage was in issue and, if  the  person  whose  parentage  has  been
    37  determined is under eighteen years of age, the clerk shall also transmit

    43  of  a  judgement  of parentage the local registrar where a child is born
    44  will report the parentage of the child to the appropriate department  of
    45  health  in conformity with the court order. If an original birth certif-
    46  icate has already been issued, the appropriate department of health will
    47  amend the birth certificate in an expedited manner and seal  the  previ-
    48  ously issued birth certificate except that it may be rendered accessible

    50    (e) In the event the certification required by paragraph two of subdi-
    51  vision  (c)  of  this  section  cannot be made because of a technical or
    52  non-material deviation from the requirements of this article; the  court
    53  may nevertheless enforce the agreement and issue a judgment of parentage
    54  if  the court determines the agreement is in substantial compliance with
    55  the requirements of this article.  In the event that any other  require-
        S. 7506--B                         52                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  ments  of  subdivision  (c) of this section are not met, the court shall
     2  determine parentage according to part four of this article.
     3    § 581-204. Judgment of parentage for intended parents who are spouses.
     4  Notwithstanding  or without limitation on presumptions of parentage that
     5  apply, a judgment of parentage  may  be  obtained  under  this  part  by
     6  intended  parents  who are each other's spouse.  Nothing in this section
     7  requires intended parents to be married to each other  in  order  to  be
     8  jointly declared the parents of the child.
     9    §   581-205.   Inspection   of  records.  Court  records  relating  to
    10  proceedings under this article shall be sealed, provided, however,  that

    18  to  the  proceeding  and the child shall have the  right  to inspect and
    19  make copies of the  entire court record, including,   but not    limited
    20  to, the name of the person acting as surrogate and any known donors.

    22  Proceedings pursuant to this article may be instituted in the supreme or
    23  family court or surrogates court.
    24    (b) Subject to the jurisdictional standards of section seventy-six  of
    25  the domestic relations law, the court conducting a proceeding under this
    26  article  has  exclusive, continuing jurisdiction of all matters relating
    27  to the determination of parentage until the child attains the age of one
    28  hundred eighty days.

    40          581-307. Effect of death of intended parent.
    41    § 581-301. Scope of article.  This article does not apply to the birth
    42  of a child conceived by means of sexual intercourse.
    43    §  581-302.  Status  of  donor.    A  donor is not a parent of a child
    44  conceived by means of assisted reproduction  where  there  is  proof  of
    45  donative  intent  under subdivision (d) of section 581-202 of this arti-
    46  cle.
    47    § 581-303. Parentage of child of assisted reproduction.  (a) An  indi-
    48  vidual  who  provides  gametes for, or who consents to, assisted reprod-
    49  uction with the intent to be a parent of the child with the  consent  of
    50  the  gestating  parent as provided in section 581-304 of this part, is a
    51  parent of the resulting child for all legal purposes.
    52    (b) The court shall issue a judgment of  parentage  pursuant  to  this
    53  article upon application by any participant.
    54    §  581-304.  Consent to assisted reproduction.  (a) Where the intended
    55  parent who gives birth to a child by means of assisted reproduction is a
        S. 7506--B                         53                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  spouse, the consent of both spouses  to  the  assisted  reproduction  is
     2  presumed  and  neither  spouse may challenge the parentage of the child,
     3  except as provided in section 581-305 of this part.
     4    (b)  Where  the intended parent who gives birth to a child by means of
     5  assisted reproduction is not a  spouse,  the  consent  to  the  assisted
     6  reproduction  must  be  in  a record in such a manner as to indicate the
     7  mutual agreement of the intended parents to conceive and parent a  child
     8  together.
     9    (c)  The  absence  of  a  record  described in subdivision (b) of this
    10  section shall not preclude a finding that such consent  existed  if  the
    11  court  finds  by  clear  and convincing evidence that at the time of the
    12  assisted reproduction the intended parents agreed to conceive and parent
    13  the child together.
    14    § 581-305. Limitation on spouses' dispute of  parentage  of  child  of
    15  assisted  reproduction.    (a)  Neither spouse may challenge the marital
    16  presumption of parentage of a child  created  by  assisted  reproduction
    17  during  the  marriage  unless  the  court  finds by clear and convincing
    18  evidence that one spouse used assisted reproduction  without  the  know-
    19  ledge and consent of the other spouse.
    20    (b)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a  married  individual  may use
    21  assisted reproduction and the marital presumption shall not apply if the
    22  spouses:
    23    (1) are living separate and apart pursuant to a decree or judgment  of
    24  separation  or  pursuant to a written agreement of separation subscribed
    25  by the parties thereto and acknowledged or proved in the  form  required
    26  to entitle a deed to be recorded; or
    27    (2) have been living separate and apart for at least three years prior
    28  to the use of assisted reproduction.

    30  relationship that has been declared invalid after assisted  reproduction
    31  or artificial insemination.
    32    §  581-306.  Effect  of  embryo disposition agreement between intended
    33  parents which transfers legal rights and dispositional  control  to  one
    34  intended  parent.  (a)  An embryo disposition agreement between intended
    35  parents with joint dispositional control of an embryo shall  be  binding
    36  under the following circumstances:
    37    (1) it is in writing;
    38    (2)  each  intended parent had the advice of independent legal counsel
    39  prior to its execution, which may be paid for by either intended parent;
    40  and
    41    (3) where the intended parents are married, transfer of  legal  rights
    42  and dispositional control occurs only upon divorce.
    43    (b)  The  intended parent who transfers legal rights and dispositional
    44  control of the embryo is not a parent of any child  conceived  from  the
    45  embryo  unless  the  agreement  states  that  he or she consents to be a
    46  parent and that consent is not withdrawn consistent with subdivision (c)
    47  of this section.
    48    (c) If the intended parent transferring legal rights and dispositional
    49  control consents to be a parent, he or  she  may  withdraw  his  or  her
    50  consent to be a parent upon written notice to the embryo storage facili-
    51  ty  and to the other intended parent prior to transfer of the embryo. If
    52  he or she timely withdraws consent to be a parent he or  she  is  not  a
    53  parent  for  any  purpose  including  support obligations but the embryo
    54  transfer may still proceed.
    55    (d) An embryo disposition agreement or advance directive that  is  not
    56  in compliance with subdivision (a) of this section may still be found to
        S. 7506--B                         54                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  be  enforceable by the court after balancing the respective interests of
     2  the parties except that the intended parent who divested him or  herself
     3  of  legal  rights  and dispositional control may not be declared to be a
     4  parent  for  any  purpose without his or her consent. The parent awarded
     5  legal rights and dispositional control of the  embryos  shall,  in  this
     6  instance, be declared to be the only parent of the child.
     7    §  581-307.  Effect of death of intended parent.  If an individual who
     8  consented in a record to be  a  parent  by  assisted  reproduction  dies
     9  before  the transfer of eggs, sperm, or embryos, the deceased individual
    10  is not a parent of the resulting child unless  the  deceased  individual
    11  consented in a signed record that if assisted reproduction were to occur
    12  after  death,  the  deceased  individual would be a parent of the child,
    13  provided that the record complies with the estates,  powers  and  trusts
    14  law.  Any rights of the child born after the death of an intended parent
    15  may  be enforced by a government agency authorized by law, including but
    16  not limited to a department of social services.

     4  signature of the spouse  of  the  person  acting  as  surrogate  is  not
     5  required as set forth in this section;
     6    (d)  it  shall  be  executed by intended parent or parents who met the
     7  eligibility requirements of subdivision (b) of section 581-402  of  this
     8  part;
     9    (e) the person acting as surrogate and the spouse of the person acting

    12  tion  of  the  contract and its execution by separate, independent legal
    13  counsel of their own choosing;
    14    (f) if the surrogacy agreement provides for  the  payment  of  compen-
    15  sation  to  the  person  acting as surrogate, the funds for base compen-

    18  jurisdiction of New York courts  for  all  proceedings  related  to  the
    19  enforcement  of  the  escrow  agreement,  prior  to the person acting as
    20  surrogate commencing with any medical procedure other than medical eval-

    24  the intended parent or parents will cover the medical  expenses  of  the
    25  person  acting  as surrogate and the child. If comprehensive health care

    32  executed;
    33    (2) the first and last  names  of  and  contact  information  for  the
    34  intended parent or parents and of the person acting as surrogate;
    35    (3)  the  first  and  last  names  of  and contact information for the
    36  persons from which the gametes originated, if known. The agreement shall

        S. 7506--B                         58                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (iv) the surrogacy agreement must include an  acknowledgement  by  the

     5    (v) the surrogacy agreement must permit the person acting as surrogate
     6  to  make all health and welfare decisions regarding themselves and their

     8  section or multiple  embryo  transfer,  and  notwithstanding  any  other
     9  provisions  in this chapter, provisions in the agreement to the contrary
    10  are void and unenforceable. This article does not diminish the right  of
    11  the person acting as surrogate to terminate or continue a pregnancy;
    12    (vi)  the  surrogacy  agreement  shall  permit  the person acting as a
    13  surrogate to utilize the services of a health care practitioner  of  the
    14  person's choosing;
    15    (vii)  the surrogacy agreement shall not limit the right of the person
    16  acting as surrogate to terminate or continue the pregnancy or reduce  or

    18    (viii)  the  surrogacy  agreement  shall  provide for the right of the
    19  person acting as  surrogate,  upon  request,  to  obtain  counseling  to
    20  address issues resulting from the person's participation in the surroga-
    21  cy agreement, including, but not limited to, counseling following deliv-
    22  ery. The cost of that counseling shall be paid by the intended parent or
    23  parents;
    24    (ix)  the  surrogacy  agreement must include a notice that any compen-
    25  sation received pursuant to the agreement may affect the  person  acting
    26  as  surrogate's  ability for public benefits or the amount of such bene-
    27  fits; and
    28    (x) the surrogacy agreement shall provide that, upon the person acting

    31  as surrogate; the person acting as surrogate may designate the benefici-

    35  resulting  children immediately upon birth regardless of number, gender,

    37  embryos  were  transferred due to a laboratory error without diminishing
    38  the rights, if any, of anyone  claiming  to  have  a  superior  parental
    39  interest in the child; and
    40    (ii) the intended parent or parents agree to assume responsibility for
    41  the support of all resulting children immediately upon birth; and
    42    (iii)  the  surrogacy agreement shall include the name of the attorney
    43  representing the intended parent or parents; and
    44    (iv) the surrogacy agreement shall provide that the rights  and  obli-
    45  gations  of the intended parent or parents under the surrogacy agreement
    46  are not assignable; and

    48  the  embryo  transfer, designating a guardian for all resulting children
    49  and authorizing their executor  to  perform  the  intended  parent's  or
    50  parents' obligations pursuant to the surrogacy agreement.
    51    § 581-404. Surrogacy agreement: effect of subsequent spousal relation-
    52  ship.  (a) After the execution of a surrogacy agreement under this arti-
    53  cle, the subsequent spousal relationship of the person acting as  surro-
    54  gate  does not affect the validity of a surrogacy agreement, the consent
    55  of the spouse of the person acting as surrogate to the  agreement  shall
        S. 7506--B                         59                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  not  be required, and the spouse of the person acting as surrogate shall
     2  not be the presumed parent of any resulting children.
     3    (b)  The subsequent separation or divorce of the intended parents does
     4  not affect the rights,  duties  and  responsibilities  of  the  intended
     5  parents  as outlined in the surrogacy agreement.  After the execution of
     6  a  surrogacy  agreement  under  this  article,  the  subsequent  spousal
     7  relationship  of  the  intended parent does not affect the validity of a
     8  surrogacy agreement, and the consent  of  the  spouse  of  the  intended
     9  parent to the agreement shall not be required.
    10    § 581-405. Termination  of surrogacy agreement. After the execution of
    11  a surrogacy agreement but before the person acting as surrogate  becomes
    12  pregnant  by means of assisted reproduction, the person acting as surro-
    13  gate, the spouse of the person acting as surrogate,  if  applicable,  or
    14  any  intended  parent  may  terminate  the surrogacy agreement by giving
    15  notice of termination in a record to  all  other  parties.  Upon  proper
    16  termination of the surrogacy agreement the parties are released from all
    17  obligations  recited in the surrogacy agreement except that the intended
    18  parent or parents remains responsible for all expenses  that  are  reim-
    19  bursable  under  the  agreement  which  have been incurred by the person
    20  acting as surrogate through the date of termination.   If  the  intended
    21  parent  or  parents  terminate  the surrogacy agreement pursuant to this
    22  section after the person acting as surrogate has taken any medication or
    23  commenced treatment to further embryo transfer, such intended parent  or
    24  parents  shall  be  responsible for paying for or reimbursing the person
    25  acting as surrogate for all co-payments, deductibles, any other  out-of-
    26  pocket  medical  costs,  and  any  other economic losses incurred within
    27  twelve months of the termination of the agreement  and  associated  with
    28  taking such medication or undertaking such treatment.  Unless the agree-
    29  ment  provides  otherwise, the person acting as surrogate is entitled to
    30  keep all payments received and obtain all payments to which  the  person
    31  is  entitled up until the date of termination of the agreement.  Neither
    32  a person acting as surrogate nor the spouse  of  the  person  acting  as
    33  surrogate,  if  any,  is  liable  to  the intended parent or parents for
    34  terminating a surrogacy agreement as provided in this section.
    35    § 581-406. Parentage under compliant  surrogacy  agreement.  Upon  the
    36  birth  of  a  child conceived by assisted reproduction under a surrogacy
    37  agreement that complies with this part,  each  intended  parent  is,  by
    38  operation of law, a parent of the child and neither the person acting as
    39  a surrogate nor the person's spouse, if any, is a parent of the child.
    40    §  581-407. Insufficient surrogacy agreement. If a surrogacy agreement
    41  does not meet the material requirements of this article,  the  agreement
    42  is  not enforceable and the court shall determine parentage based on the
    43  intent of the parties, taking into account the  best  interests  of  the
    44  child.   An intended parent's absence of genetic connection to the child
    45  is not a sufficient basis to deny that individual a  judgment  of  legal
    46  parentage.
    47    § 581-408. Absence of surrogacy agreement. Where there is no surrogacy
    48  agreement,  the parentage of the child will be determined based on other
    49  laws of this state.
    50    § 581-409. Dispute as to surrogacy agreement.  (a) Any  dispute  which
    51  is  related to a surrogacy agreement other than disputes as to parentage
    52  shall be resolved by  the  supreme  court,  which  shall  determine  the
    53  respective  rights  and  obligations  of  the parties, in any proceeding
    54  initiated pursuant to this section, the court may,  at  its  discretion,
    55  authorize  the  use  of  conferencing  or  mediation at any point in the
    56  proceedings.
        S. 7506--B                         60                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (b) Except as expressly  provided  in  the  surrogacy  agreement,  the
     2  intended  parent  or parents and the person acting as surrogate shall be
     3  entitled to all remedies available at  law  or  equity  in  any  dispute
     4  related to the surrogacy agreement.
     5    (c)  There  shall  be  no  specific performance remedy available for a
     6  breach.

    16  person  acting as surrogate based on medical risks, physical discomfort,
    17  inconvenience  and  the  responsibilities  they   are   undertaking   in
    18  connection with their participation in the assisted reproduction.  Under
    19  no circumstances may compensation be paid to purchase gametes or embryos
    20  or for the release of a parental interest in a child.
    21    (b)  The  compensation,  if  any,  paid to a donor or person acting as
    22  surrogate must be reasonable and negotiated in good  faith  between  the
    23  parties,  and  said  payments  to a person acting as surrogate shall not
    24  exceed the duration of the pregnancy and recuperative period  of  up  to
    25  eight weeks after the birth of any resulting children.
    26    (c)  Compensation may not be conditioned upon the purported quality or
    27  genome-related traits of the gametes or embryos.
    28    (d) Compensation may not be conditioned on actual genotypic or  pheno-
    29  typic characteristics of the donor or of any resulting children.
    30    (e)  Compensation to an embryo donor shall be limited to storage fees,
    31  transportation costs and attorneys' fees.

     1  terminate or continue the pregnancy, and whether to reduce or retain the
     2  number of fetuses or embryos they are carrying.
     3    § 581-603. Independent legal counsel. A person acting as surrogate has
     4  the  right  to be represented throughout the contractual process and the
     5  duration of the surrogacy agreement and  its  execution  by  independent
     6  legal  counsel  of their own choosing who is licensed to practice law in

     1    (v) A signatory is a gamete donor under section 581-302 of the  family
     2  court act;
     3    (vi)  The  acknowledgment  is signed by a person who asserts that they

     5  conceived through assisted reproduction, but the child was not conceived
     6  through assisted reproduction.
     7    (e)  The  acknowledgment  shall  be executed on a form provided by the
     8  commissioner developed in consultation with  the  [appropriate]  commis-
     9  sioner  of the [department of family assistance] office of temporary and
    10  disability assistance, which shall:  (i)  include  the  social  security

    23  diction, including an obligation to provide support for the child except
    24  that, only if filed with the registrar of  the  district  in  which  the

    26  force and effect with respect to inheritance rights; and  (iii)  include
    27  the name and address, if known, of any gamete donors.
    28    [(b)]  (f)  Prior to the execution of an acknowledgment of [paternity]
    29  parentage, the [mother] person who gave  birth  to  the  child  and  the
    30  [putative father] other signatory shall be provided orally, which may be

    32  information as is required pursuant to  this  section  with  respect  to
    33  their  rights and the consequences of signing a voluntary acknowledgment
    34  of [paternity] parentage including, but not limited to:
    35    (i) that the signing of the acknowledgment  of  [paternity]  parentage
    36  shall  establish  the  [paternity] parentage of the child and shall have
    37  the same force and effect as an order of [paternity] parentage or filia-
    38  tion issued by a court of competent jurisdiction establishing  the  duty
    39  of both parties to provide support for the child;
    40    (ii) that if such an acknowledgment is not made, the [putative father]
    41  signatory  other than the person who gave birth to the child can be held
    42  liable for support only if the family court, after a hearing,  makes  an
    43  order declaring that the [putative father] person is the [father] parent
    44  of  the child whereupon the court may make an order of support which may
    45  be retroactive to the birth of the child;
    46    (iii) that if made a respondent in a proceeding to establish [paterni-
    47  ty] parentage the [putative father] signatory other than the person  who
    48  gave  birth  to  the  child  has a right to free legal representation if
    49  indigent;
    50    (iv) that [the putative father] an alleged genetic parent has a  right
    51  to a genetic marker test or to a DNA test when available;
    52    (v)  that  by  executing  the  acknowledgment,  the  [putative father]
    53  alleged genetic parent waives [his] their right to a hearing,  to  which
    54  [he]  they  would  otherwise  be  entitled,  on the issue of [paternity]
    55  parentage;

     3  section three hundred seventy-two-c of the social services law, and that
     4  such filing may establish the child's  right  to  inheritance  from  the
     5  [putative father] alleged genetic parent or the other intended parent of
     6  a  child  conceived through assisted reproduction pursuant to clause (B)
     7  of subparagraph two of paragraph (a) of section 4-1.2  of  the  estates,
     8  powers and trusts law;
     9    (vii)  that, if such acknowledgment is filed with the registrar of the
    10  district in which the birth certificate has been filed, such acknowledg-
    11  ment will  establish  inheritance  rights  from  the  [putative  father]
    12  alleged genetic parent or the other intended parent of a child conceived
    13  through assisted reproduction pursuant to clause (A) of subparagraph two
    14  of paragraph (a) of section 4-1.2 of the estates, powers and trusts law;

    18  tive.     Any  retroactive  amount  of  support  due  shall  be  support
    19  arrears/past due support and shall be paid in one sum or periodic  sums,
    20  as the court directs, and any amount of temporary support which has been
    21  paid to be taken into account in calculating any amount of such retroac-
    22  tive  support due.  In addition, such retroactive child support shall be
    23  enforceable in any manner provided by law including, but not limited to,
    24  an execution for support enforcement  pursuant  to  subdivision  (b)  of
    25  section fifty-two hundred forty-one of the civil practice law and rules.
    26  When  a child receiving support is a public assistance recipient, or the
    27  order of support is being enforced or is  to  be  enforced  pursuant  to
    28  section one hundred eleven-g of the social services law, the court shall
    29  establish the amount of retroactive child support and notify the parties
    30  that such amount shall be enforced by the support collection unit pursu-
    31  ant  to an execution for support enforcement as provided for in subdivi-
    32  sion (b) of section fifty-two hundred forty-one of  the  civil  practice
    33  law  and  rules, or in such periodic payments as would have been author-
    34  ized had such an execution been issued.  In such case, the  court  shall
    35  not direct the schedule of repayment of retroactive support.  Where such
    36  direction is for child support and [paternity] parentage has been estab-
    37  lished by a voluntary acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage as defined
    38  in section forty-one hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law, the
    39  court  shall  inquire of the parties whether the acknowledgment has been
    40  duly filed, and unless satisfied that it has been so filed shall require
    41  the clerk of the court to file such acknowledgment with the  appropriate
    42  registrar  within  five business days.   The court shall not direct that
    43  support payments be made to  the  support  collection  unit  unless  the
    44  child,  who is the subject of the order, is in receipt of public assist-
    45  ance or child support services pursuant to section one hundred  eleven-g
    46  of  the social services law.  Any such order shall be enforceable pursu-
    47  ant to section fifty-two hundred forty-one or fifty-two  hundred  forty-
    48  two of the civil practice law and rules, or in any other manner provided
    49  by  law.    Such  orders  or judgments for child support and maintenance
    50  shall also be enforceable pursuant to article  fifty-two  of  the  civil
    51  practice  law  and rules upon a debtor's default as such term is defined
    52  in paragraph seven of  subdivision  (a)  of  section  fifty-two  hundred
    53  forty-one  of  the civil practice law and rules.  The establishment of a
    54  default shall be subject to the procedures established for the  determi-
    55  nation  of  a mistake of fact for income executions pursuant to subdivi-
    56  sion (e) of section fifty-two hundred forty-one of  the  civil  practice
        S. 7506--B                         73                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  law  and  rules. For the purposes of enforcement of child support orders
     2  or combined spousal and child support orders pursuant  to  section  five
     3  thousand  two  hundred  forty-one of the civil practice law and rules, a
     4  "default"  shall  be  deemed to include amounts arising from retroactive
     5  support.  Where permitted under federal law and where the record of  the
     6  proceedings  contains  such information, such order shall include on its
     7  face the social security number and the name and address of the  employ-
     8  er,  if  any,  of  the person chargeable with support provided, however,
     9  that failure to comply with this requirement shall not  invalidate  such
    10  order.
    11    § 15. Section 516-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter 398
    12  of  the laws of 1997, subdivisions (b) and (c) as amended by chapter 402
    13  of the laws of 2013, and subdivision (d) as amended by  chapter  343  of
    14  the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows:
    15    §  516-a. Acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage.  (a) An acknowledg-
    16  ment of [paternity] parentage executed pursuant to section  one  hundred
    17  eleven-k of the social services law or section four thousand one hundred
    18  thirty-five-b  of  the public health law shall establish the [paternity]
    19  parentage of and liability for the support of a child pursuant  to  this
    20  act.  Such  acknowledgment must be reduced to writing and filed pursuant
    21  to section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public  health
    22  law  with  the registrar of the district in which the birth occurred and
    23  in which the birth certificate has been filed. No  further  judicial  or
    24  administrative  proceedings  are  required  to  ratify  an  unchallenged
    25  acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage.
    26    (b) (i) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of [paternity]  parent-
    27  age  executed  pursuant  to  section  one hundred eleven-k of the social
    28  services law or section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b  of  the
    29  public  health  law  had  attained  the  age  of eighteen at the time of
    30  execution of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to  rescind  the
    31  acknowledgment  by  filing  a  petition  with  the  court  to vacate the
    32  acknowledgment within the earlier of sixty days of the date  of  signing
    33  the  acknowledgment  or  the  date  of  an  administrative or a judicial
    34  proceeding (including, but not limited to, a proceeding to  establish  a
    35  support  order) relating to the child in which the signatory is a party.
    36  For purposes of this section, the "date of an administrative or a  judi-
    37  cial  proceeding"  shall be the date by which the respondent is required
    38  to answer the petition.
    39    (ii) Where a signatory to an acknowledgment of  [paternity]  parentage
    40  executed pursuant to section one hundred eleven-k of the social services
    41  law  or  section  four  thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public
    42  health law had not attained the age of eighteen at the time of execution
    43  of the acknowledgment, the signatory may seek to rescind the acknowledg-
    44  ment by filing a petition with the court to  vacate  the  acknowledgment
    45  anytime  up  to  sixty  days  after the signatory's attaining the age of
    46  eighteen years or sixty days after the date on which the  respondent  is
    47  required to answer a petition (including, but not limited to, a petition
    48  to  establish a support order) relating to the child in which the signa-
    49  tory is a party, whichever  is  earlier;  provided,  however,  that  the
    50  signatory  must have been advised at such proceeding of his or her right
    51  to file a petition to vacate the acknowledgment within sixty days of the
    52  date of such proceeding.
    53    (iii) Where a petition to  vacate  an  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]
    54  parentage  has  been  filed  in accordance with paragraph (i) or (ii) of
    55  this subdivision, the court shall order  genetic  marker  tests  or  DNA
    56  tests  for  the  determination of the child's [paternity] parentage.  No
        S. 7506--B                         74                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  such test shall be ordered, however, where the acknowledgment was signed
     2  by the intended parent of a child  born  through  assisted  reproduction
     3  pursuant  to  subparagraph  (ii)  of paragraph (b) of subdivision one of
     4  section  four  thousand  one  hundred thirty-five-b of the public health
     5  law, or upon a written finding by the court that it is not in  the  best
     6  interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
     7  or  the  presumption  of legitimacy of a child born to a married [woman]
     8  person. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
     9  signed the acknowledgment is the [father] parent of the child, the court
    10  shall make a finding of [paternity] parentage  and  enter  an  order  of
    11  [filiation]  parentage.  If  the  court  determines  that the person who
    12  signed the acknowledgment is not the [father] parent of the  child,  the
    13  acknowledgment shall be vacated.
    14    (iv)  After  the expiration of the time limits set forth in paragraphs
    15  (i) and (ii) of this subdivision, any of the signatories to an  acknowl-
    16  edgment  of  [paternity]  parentage  may challenge the acknowledgment in
    17  court by alleging and proving fraud,  duress,  or  material  mistake  of
    18  fact.  If  the petitioner proves to the court that the acknowledgment of
    19  [paternity] parentage was signed under fraud, duress, or due to a  mate-
    20  rial mistake of fact, the court shall then order genetic marker tests or
    21  DNA  tests  for  the determination of the child's [paternity] parentage.
    22  No such test shall be ordered, however,  where  the  acknowledgment  was
    23  signed  by  the intended parent of a child born through assisted reprod-
    24  uction pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision one
    25  of section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of the public  health
    26  law,  or  upon a written finding by the court that it is not in the best
    27  interests of the child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,
    28  or the presumption of legitimacy of a child born to  a  married  [woman]
    29  person. If the court determines, following the test, that the person who
    30  signed the acknowledgment is the [father] parent of the child, the court
    31  shall  make  a  finding  of  [paternity] parentage and enter an order of
    32  [filiation] parentage. If the  court  determines  that  the  person  who
    33  signed  the  acknowledgment is not the [father] parent of the child, the
    34  acknowledgment shall be vacated.
    35    (v) If, at any time before or after a signatory has filed  a  petition
    36  to  vacate  an  acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage pursuant to this
    37  subdivision, the signatory dies or becomes mentally  ill  or  cannot  be
    38  found within the state, neither the proceeding nor the right to commence
    39  the  proceeding  shall abate but may be commenced or continued by any of
    40  the persons authorized by this article to commence a [paternity] parent-
    41  age proceeding.
    42    (c) An acknowledgment of parentage is void if, at the time of signing,
    43  any of the following are true:
    44    (i) a person other than the signatories is a presumed  parent  of  the
    45  child pursuant to section twenty-four of the domestic relations law;
    46    (ii) a court has entered a judgment of parentage of the child;
    47    (iii)  another  person  has signed a valid acknowledgment of parentage
    48  with regard to the child;
    49    (iv) the child has a parent pursuant to section 581-303 of the  family
    50  court act other than the signatories;
    51    (v)  a signatory is a gamete donor under section 581-302 of the family
    52  court act; or
    53    (vi) the acknowledgment is signed by a person who  asserts  that  they
    54  are  a  parent  under section 581-303 of the family court act of a child
    55  conceived through assisted reproduction, but the child was not conceived
    56  through assisted reproduction.
        S. 7506--B                         75                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (d) Neither signatory's legal obligations,  including  the  obligation
     2  for  child  support  arising  from  the acknowledgment, may be suspended
     3  during the challenge to the acknowledgment except for good cause as  the
     4  court  may  find. If the court vacates the acknowledgment of [paternity]
     5  parentage,  the  court  shall immediately provide a copy of the order to
     6  the registrar of the district in which the child's birth certificate  is
     7  filed  and  also to the putative father registry operated by the depart-
     8  ment of social services pursuant to section three hundred  seventy-two-c
     9  of  the  social services law. In addition, if the [mother] parent of the
    10  child who is the subject of the acknowledgment is in  receipt  of  child
    11  support  services pursuant to title six-A of article three of the social
    12  services law, the court shall immediately provide a copy of the order to
    13  the child support enforcement unit of the social services district  that
    14  provides the [mother] parent with such services.
    15    [(d)]  (e)  A determination of [paternity] parentage made by any other
    16  state, whether established through an administrative or judicial process
    17  or through an acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage signed in  accord-
    18  ance  with  that  state's  laws,  must be accorded full faith and credit
    19  pursuant to section 466(a)(11) of title IV-D of the social security  act
    20  (42 U.S.C. § 666(a)(11)).
    21    (f) Any reference to an acknowledgment of paternity in any law of this
    22  state, or any similar instrument signed in another state consistent with
    23  the  law of that state shall be interpreted to mean an acknowledgment of
    24  parentage executed pursuant to  section  one  hundred  eleven-k  of  the
    25  social  services law, section four thousand one hundred thirty-five-b of
    26  the public health law, or signed in another state  consistent  with  the
    27  law of that state.
    28    §  16.  Paragraph  (b)  of subdivision 1 of section 1017 of the family
    29  court act, as added by chapter 567 of the laws of 2015,  is  amended  to
    30  read as follows:
    31    (b)  The  court  shall  also  direct  the local commissioner of social
    32  services to conduct an investigation to locate any  person  who  is  not
    33  recognized  to  be the child's legal parent and does not have the rights
    34  of a legal parent under the laws of the state of New York  but  who  (i)
    35  has  filed  with  a putative father registry an instrument acknowledging
    36  [paternity] parentage of the child, pursuant to  section  4-1.2  of  the
    37  estates,  powers  and  trusts  law,  or  (ii)  has a pending [paternity]
    38  parentage petition, or (iii) has been identified  as  a  parent  of  the
    39  child  by  the  child's  other  parent in a written sworn statement. The
    40  local commissioner of social services shall report the results  of  such
    41  investigation  to  the court and parties, including the attorney for the
    42  child.
    43    § 17. Section 4-1.2 of the estates, powers and trusts law, as  amended
    44  by  chapter  67  of  the  laws of 1981, the section heading, the opening
    45  paragraph of subparagraph 1 of paragraph (a), the opening  paragraph  of
    46  subparagraph  2  of  paragraph (a) and the opening paragraph of subpara-
    47  graph 3 of paragraph (a) as amended by chapter 595 of the laws of  1992,
    48  subparagraph 2 of paragraph (a) as amended by chapter 434 of the laws of
    49  1987,  clause (A) of subparagraph 2 of paragraph (a) as amended by chap-
    50  ter 170 of the laws of 1994, and clause (C) of subparagraph 2  of  para-
    51  graph  (a)  and  paragraph  (b)  as amended by chapter 64 of the laws of
    52  2010, is amended to read as follows:
    53  § 4-1.2 Inheritance by non-marital children
    54    (a) For the purposes of this article:
    55    (1) A non-marital child is the legitimate child of his mother so  that
    56  he and his issue inherit from his mother and from his maternal kindred.
        S. 7506--B                         76                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (2)  A non-marital child is the legitimate child of his father or non-
     2  gestating intended parent so that he and his  issue  inherit  from  [his
     3  father and his paternal] such parent and such parent's kindred if:
     4    (A)  a court of competent jurisdiction has, during the lifetime of the
     5  father, made an order of filiation or  parentage  declaring  [paternity]
     6  parentage  or  the  [mother  and  father]  parentage  of the child [have
     7  executed] has been established through the execution of  an  acknowledg-
     8  ment  of  [paternity]  parentage  pursuant  to section four thousand one
     9  hundred thirty-five-b of the public health law,  which  has  been  filed
    10  with  the  registrar  of the district in which the birth certificate has
    11  been filed or;
    12    (B) the father of the child has  signed  an  instrument  acknowledging
    13  [paternity] parentage, provided that
    14    (i)  such instrument is acknowledged or executed or proved in the form
    15  required to entitle a deed to be recorded in the presence of one or more
    16  witnesses and acknowledged by such witness or witnesses, in either case,
    17  before a notary public or other officer  authorized  to  take  proof  of
    18  deeds and
    19    (ii) such instrument is filed within sixty days from the making there-
    20  of with the putative father registry established by the state department
    21  of  social  services  pursuant to section three hundred seventy-two-c of
    22  the social services law, as added by chapter six hundred  sixty-five  of
    23  the laws of nineteen hundred seventy-six and
    24    (iii)  the  department  of social services shall, within seven days of
    25  the filing of the instrument, send written notice by registered mail  to
    26  the  mother  and other legal guardian of such child, notifying them that
    27  an acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage  instrument  acknowledged  or
    28  executed by such [father] parent has been duly filed or;
    29    (C) [paternity] parentage has been established by clear and convincing
    30  evidence, which may include, but is not limited to: (i) evidence derived
    31  from  a  genetic  marker test, or (ii) evidence that the [father] parent
    32  openly and notoriously acknowledged the child as his or her own, however
    33  nothing  in  this  section  regarding  genetic  marker  tests  shall  be
    34  construed to expand or limit the current application of subdivision four
    35  of section forty-two hundred ten of the public health law.
    36    (3) The existence of an agreement obligating the father to support the
    37  non-marital  child  does  not qualify such child or his issue to inherit
    38  from the father in the absence of an order of filiation made or acknowl-
    39  edgement of [paternity] parentage as prescribed by subparagraph (2).
    40    (4) A motion for relief from an order of filiation may be made only by
    41  the father and a motion for relief from an acknowledgement of  [paterni-
    42  ty]  parentage  may  be  made  by [the father, mother] a parent or other
    43  legal guardian of such child,  or  the  child,  provided  however,  such
    44  motion must be made within one year from the entry of such order or from
    45  the date of written notice as provided for in subparagraph (2).
    46    (b)  If  a non-marital child dies, his or her surviving spouse, issue,
    47  mother, maternal kindred, father and paternal kindred  inherit  and  are
    48  entitled  to  letters of administration as if the decedent was a marital
    49  child, provided that the father and  paternal  kindred  may  inherit  or
    50  obtain such letters only if the [paternity] parentage of the non-marital
    51  child has been established pursuant to any of the provisions of subpara-
    52  graph (2) of paragraph (a).
    53    §  18. Subdivision 1, paragraph g of subdivision 2, subdivision 3, and
    54  subdivision 4 of section 111-c of the social services law, subdivision 1
    55  as added by chapter 685 of the laws of 1975, paragraph g of  subdivision
    56  2  as added by chapter 809 of the laws of 1985, subdivision 3 as amended
        S. 7506--B                         77                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  by chapter 398 of the laws of 1997, and subdivision 4 as added by  chap-
     2  ter 343 of the laws of 2009, are amended to read as follows:
     3    1.  Each  social  services district shall establish a single organiza-
     4  tional unit which shall be responsible for such district's activities in
     5  assisting the state in the location of absent parents, establishment  of
     6  [paternity]  parentage  and  enforcement  and  collection  of support in
     7  accordance with the regulations of the department.
     8    g. obtain from respondent, when appropriate and in accordance with the
     9  procedures established by section one hundred eleven-k of this  chapter,
    10  an  acknowledgement  of  [paternity]  parentage  or an agreement to make
    11  support payments, or both;
    12    3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the social services  official  shall
    13  not be required to establish the [paternity] parentage of any child born
    14  out-of-wedlock, or to secure support for any child, with respect to whom
    15  such  official  has determined that such actions would be detrimental to
    16  the best interests of the  child,  in  accordance  with  procedures  and
    17  criteria  established  by  regulations of the department consistent with
    18  federal law.
    19    4. a. A social services  district  represents  the  interests  of  the
    20  district  in  performing  its  functions  and duties as provided in this
    21  title and not the interests of any party. The interests  of  a  district
    22  shall  include, but are not limited to, establishing [paternity] parent-
    23  age, and establishing, modifying and enforcing child support orders.
    24    b. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provision of  child
    25  support  services  pursuant to this title does not constitute nor create
    26  an  attorney-client  relationship  between  the   individual   receiving
    27  services  and any attorney representing or appearing for the district. A
    28  social services district shall provide notice to any individual request-
    29  ing or receiving services that the attorney  representing  or  appearing
    30  for the district does not represent the individual and that the individ-
    31  ual has a right to retain his or her own legal counsel.
    32    c.  A  social  services district may appear in any action to establish
    33  [paternity] parentage, or to establish, modify, or enforce an  order  of
    34  support when an individual is receiving services under this title.
    35    §  19. Section 111-k of the social services law, as amended by chapter
    36  398 of the laws of 1997, paragraphs (a) and  (b)  of  subdivision  1  as
    37  amended  by  chapter  214  of  the  laws  of 1998, is amended to read as
    38  follows:
    39    § 111-k.    Procedures  relating  to  acknowledgments  of  [paternity]
    40  parentage,  agreements  to  support,  and genetic tests.   1.   A social
    41  services official or his or her designated  representative  who  confers
    42  with  a  potential  respondent or respondent, hereinafter referred to in
    43  this section as the "respondent", the mother of  a  child  born  out  of
    44  wedlock  and  any  other  interested  persons,  pursuant  to section one
    45  hundred eleven-c of this title, may obtain:
    46    (a) an acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage of a child, as provided
    47  for in article five-B or section five hundred sixteen-a  of  the  family
    48  court  act,  by a written statement, witnessed by two people not related
    49  to the signator or as provided for in section four thousand one  hundred
    50  thirty-five-b  of  the public health law. Prior to the execution of such
    51  acknowledgment by the child's mother and the respondent, they  shall  be
    52  advised,  orally,  which may be through the use of audio or video equip-
    53  ment, and in writing, of the consequences of making such an  acknowledg-
    54  ment.  Upon  the  signing  of an acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage
    55  pursuant to this section, the social services official  or  his  or  her
        S. 7506--B                         78                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  representative  shall  file the original acknowledgment with the regist-
     2  rar.
     3    (b)  an agreement to make support payments as provided in section four
     4  hundred twenty-five of the family court act. Prior to the  execution  of
     5  such  agreement,  the  respondent shall be advised, orally, which may be
     6  through the use of audio or video equipment,  and  in  writing,  of  the
     7  consequences  of  such agreement, that the respondent can be held liable
     8  for support only if the family court, after a hearing, makes an order of
     9  support; that respondent has a right to consult  with  an  attorney  and
    10  that  the  agreement  will be submitted to the family court for approval
    11  pursuant to section four hundred twenty-five of the  family  court  act;
    12  and  that by executing the agreement, the respondent waives any right to
    13  a hearing regarding any matter contained in such agreement.
    14    2. (a) When the paternity of a child is contested, a  social  services
    15  official  or  designated representative may order the mother, the child,
    16  and the alleged father to submit to one or more genetic  marker  or  DNA
    17  tests  of  a type generally acknowledged as reliable by an accreditation
    18  body designated by the secretary of the federal department of health and
    19  human services and performed by a laboratory approved by such an accred-
    20  itation body and by the commissioner of health or by  a  duly  qualified
    21  physician  to  aid  in  the  determination of whether or not the alleged
    22  father is the father of the child.   The order may be  issued  prior  or
    23  subsequent  to  the  filing  of  a  petition with the court to establish
    24  paternity, shall be served on the parties by certified mail,  and  shall
    25  include a sworn statement which either (i) alleges [paternity] parentage
    26  and sets forth facts establishing a reasonable possibility of the requi-
    27  site  sexual  contact  between  the  parties, or (ii) denies [paternity]
    28  parentage and sets forth facts  establishing  a  reasonable  possibility
    29  that  the party is not the father.  The parties shall not be required to
    30  submit to the administration and analysis of such tests if they  sign  a
    31  voluntary  acknowledgment  of  [paternity]  parentage in accordance with
    32  paragraph (a) of subdivision one of this section, or if there has been a
    33  written finding by the court that it is not in the best interests of the
    34  child on the basis of res judicata, equitable estoppel,  the  child  was
    35  conceived through assisted reproduction or the presumption of legitimacy
    36  of a child born to a married [woman] person.
    37    (b)  The record or report of the results of any such genetic marker or
    38  DNA test may be submitted to the family court as  evidence  pursuant  to
    39  subdivision  (e)  of rule forty-five hundred eighteen of the civil prac-
    40  tice law and rules where no timely objection in writing  has  been  made
    41  thereto.
    42    (c)  The  cost  of  any test ordered pursuant to this section shall be
    43  paid by the social services district provided however, that the  alleged
    44  father  shall  reimburse  the district for the cost of such test at such
    45  time as the alleged father's [paternity] parentage is established  by  a
    46  voluntary  acknowledgment of [paternity] parentage or an order of filia-
    47  tion. If either party contests the results  of  genetic  marker  or  DNA
    48  tests,  an  additional  test  may be ordered upon written request to the
    49  social services district and advance payment by the requesting party.
    50    (d) The parties shall be required to submit to such tests  and  appear
    51  at  any conference scheduled by the social services official or designee
    52  to discuss the notice of the allegation of paternity or to  discuss  the
    53  results  of such tests.  If the alleged [father] genetic parent fails to
    54  appear at any such conference or fails to submit to such genetic  marker
    55  or  DNA  tests,  the social services official or designee shall petition
    56  the court to establish [paternity] parentage, provide the court  with  a
        S. 7506--B                         79                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  copy  of  the  records  or reports of such tests if any, and request the
     2  court to issue an order for temporary support pursuant to  section  five
     3  hundred forty-two of the family court act.
     4    3.  Any reference to an acknowledgment of paternity in any law of this
     5  state or any similar instrument signed in another state consistent  with
     6  the  law of that state shall be interpreted to mean an acknowledgment of
     7  parentage executed pursuant to this section, section four  thousand  one
     8  hundred  thirty-five-b  of  the  public  health law or signed in another
     9  state consistent with the law of that state.
    10    § 20. Subdivisions 1 and 2 of section 372-c  of  the  social  services
    11  law,  as amended by chapter 139 of the laws of 1979, are amended to read
    12  as follows:
    13    1.  The department shall establish a putative  father  registry  which
    14  shall  record the names and addresses of:  (a) any person adjudicated by

    16  wedlock] out of wedlock; (b) any person who has filed with the  registry
    17  before  or after the birth of a child [out-of-wedlock] out of wedlock, a

    19  person  adjudicated  by  a  court  of  another state or territory of the
    20  United States to be the father of an  [out-of-wedlock]  out  of  wedlock
    21  child, where a certified copy of the court order has been filed with the
    22  registry  by  such  person  or  any other person; (d) any person who has
    23  filed with the registry an instrument acknowledging  paternity  pursuant
    24  to section 4-1.2 of the estates, powers and trusts law.
    25    2.   A person filing a notice of intent to claim [paternity] parentage
    26  of a child or an acknowledgement of paternity shall include therein  his
    27  current  address  and shall notify the registry of any change of address
    28  pursuant to procedures prescribed by regulations of the department.
    29    § 21. Subdivision (a) of section 439  of  the  family  court  act,  as
    30  amended  by  section 1 of chapter 468 of the laws of 2012, is amended to

    32    (a) The chief administrator of the courts shall provide, in accordance
    33  with subdivision (f) of this section, for the appointment  of  a  suffi-
    34  cient  number  of  support  magistrates  to  hear  and determine support

    51  the  judge, shall be authorized to immediately make a temporary or final
    52  order of support, as applicable. A support  magistrate  shall  have  the

    37  § 4-1.3 Inheritance by children conceived after the death of [a genetic]
    38            an intended parent
    39    (a)  When  used  in this article, unless the context or subject matter
    40  manifestly requires a different interpretation:
    41    (1) ["Genetic parent" shall mean a man who provides sperm or  a  woman
    42  who  provides ova used to conceive a child after the death of the man or
    43  woman.
    44    (2)] "Genetic material" shall mean sperm or ova provided by a  genetic
    45  parent.
    46    [(3)  "Genetic  child" shall mean a child of the sperm or ova provided
    47  by a genetic parent, but only if and when such child is born.]
    48    (2) "Child" shall mean a  child  conceived  through  assisted  reprod-
    49  uction.
    50    (3)  "Intended  parent"  shall  have  the  same  meaning as defined in
    51  section 581-102 of the family court act.
    52    (b) For purposes of this article, a genetic child is the child of  his
    53  or  her  [genetic] intended parent or parents and, notwithstanding para-
    54  graph (c) of section 4-1.1 of this part, is a distributee of his or  her
    55  [genetic]  intended  parent or parents and, notwithstanding subparagraph
        S. 7506--B                         83                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  (2) of paragraph (a) of section 2-1.3 of this chapter,  is  included  in
     2  any  disposition  of  property to persons described in any instrument of
     3  which [a genetic] an intended parent of the genetic child was the  crea-
     4  tor  as  the  issue, children, descendants, heirs, heirs at law, next of
     5  kin, distributees (or by any term of like import) of the creator  if  it
     6  is established that:
     7    (1)  the  [genetic]  intended  parent in a written instrument executed
     8  pursuant to the provisions of this section not  more  than  seven  years
     9  before the death of the [genetic] intended parent[:
    10    (A)] expressly consented [to the use of his or her genetic material to
    11  posthumously conceive his or her genetic child, and
    12    (B)]  that  if  assisted reproduction were to occur after the death of
    13  the intended parent, the deceased individual would be a  parent  of  the
    14  child; and
    15    (2)  the child was in utero no later than twenty-four months after the
    16  intended parent's death or born no later than thirty-three months  after
    17  the intended parent's death.
    18    (c)  If  the  child  was  conceived  using the genetic material of the
    19  intended parent, it must further be established that:
    20    (1) the intended parent in a written instrument executed  pursuant  to
    21  the  provisions  of  this  section  not more than seven years before the
    22  death of the intended parent authorized a person to make decisions about
    23  the use of the [genetic] intended parent's genetic  material  after  the
    24  death of the [genetic] intended parent;
    25    (2)  the person authorized in the written instrument to make decisions
    26  about the use of the [genetic] intended parent's genetic  material  gave
    27  written  notice,  by  certified  mail,  return  receipt requested, or by
    28  personal delivery, that the [genetic] intended parent's genetic material
    29  was available for the purpose of conceiving a  [genetic]  child  of  the
    30  [genetic] intended parent, and such written notice was given;
    31    (A)  within  seven  months  from  the  date of the issuance of letters
    32  testamentary or  of  administration  on  the  estate  of  the  [genetic]
    33  intended  parent, as the case may be, to the person to whom such letters
    34  have issued, or, if no letters have been issued within  four  months  of
    35  the death of the [genetic] intended parent, and
    36    (B)  within seven months of the death of the [genetic] intended parent
    37  to a distributee of the [genetic] intended parent; and
    38    (3) the person authorized in the written instrument to make  decisions
    39  about  the  use  of  the  [genetic]  intended  parent's genetic material
    40  recorded the written instrument within seven  months  of  the  [genetic]
    41  intended  parent's death in the office of the surrogate granting letters
    42  on the [genetic] intended parent's estate, or, if no such  letters  have
    43  been  granted,  in  the  office  of the surrogate having jurisdiction to
    44  grant them[; and
    45    (4) the genetic child was in utero no later  than  twenty-four  months
    46  after  the  genetic  parent's  death  or born no later than thirty-three
    47  months after the genetic parent's death].
    48    [(c)] (d) The written instrument referred to in  subparagraph  (1)  of
    49  paragraph  (b)  of this section and subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c) of
    50  this section:
    51    (1) must be signed by the [genetic] intended parent in the presence of
    52  two witnesses who also sign the instrument referred to  in  subparagraph
    53  (1) of paragraph (c) of this section, both of whom are at least eighteen
    54  years  of  age  and  neither  of  whom  is a person authorized under the
    55  instrument to make decisions about the use  of  the  [genetic]  intended
    56  parent's genetic material;

     1    (2)  may be revoked only by a written instrument signed by the [genet-
     2  ic] intended parent and executed in the same manner as the instrument it
     3  revokes;
     4    (3)  may  not  be altered or revoked by a provision in the will of the
     5  [genetic] intended parent;
     6    (4) an instrument referred to in subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c)  of
     7  this  section may authorize an alternate to make decisions about the use
     8  of the [genetic] intended parent's genetic material if the first  person
     9  so  designated dies before the [genetic] intended parent or is unable to
    10  exercise the authority granted; [and]
    11    (5) an instrument referred to in subparagraph (1) of paragraph (b)  of

    28  chapter 323 of the laws of 2008, are amended to read as follows:
    29    6.  An "unfounded report" means any report made pursuant to this title
    30  unless an investigation: (i) commenced on  or  before  December  thirty-
    31  first, two thousand twenty-one determines that some credible evidence of
    32  the  alleged abuse or maltreatment exists; or (ii) commenced on or after
    33  January first, two thousand twenty-two determines that a fair preponder-
    34  ance of the evidence of the alleged abuse or maltreatment exists;
    35    7. An "indicated report" means a report made pursuant to this title if
    36  an investigation: (i) commenced on or before December thirty-first,  two
    37  thousand  twenty-one  determines  that  some  credible  evidence  of the
    38  alleged abuse or maltreatment exists[.]; or (ii) commenced on  or  after
    39  January first, two thousand twenty-two determines that a fair preponder-
    40  ance of the evidence of the alleged abuse or maltreatment exists;
    41    §  2.  Paragraph  (c)  of  subdivision  2 of section 421 of the social
    42  services law, as amended by chapter 718 of the laws of 1986, is  amended
    43  to read as follows:
    44    (c)  issue guidelines to assist local child protective services in the
    45  interpretation and assessment of reports of abuse and maltreatment  made
    46  to  the  statewide  central  register  described in section four hundred
    47  twenty-two of this article. Such guidelines shall  include  information,
    48  standards  and criteria for the identification of [credible] evidence of
    49  alleged abuse and maltreatment as required to determine whether a report
    50  may be indicated pursuant to this article.
    51    § 3. The opening paragraph  of  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  5  of
    52  section  422 of the social services law, as amended by section 7 of part
    53  D of chapter 501 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
        S. 7506--B                         89                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    Unless an investigation of a report conducted pursuant to  this  title
     2  that is commenced on or before December thirty-first, two thousand twen-
     3  ty-one  determines  that  there is some credible evidence of the alleged
     4  abuse or maltreatment or unless an investigation of a  report  conducted
     5  pursuant  to this title that is commenced on or after January first, two
     6  thousand twenty-two determines that there is a fair preponderance of the
     7  evidence that the alleged abuse or maltreatment occurred,  all  informa-
     8  tion  identifying  the subjects of the report and other persons named in
     9  the report shall be legally sealed forthwith by the central register and
    10  any local child protective services [or the state agency] which investi-
    11  gated the report. Such unfounded reports may only be unsealed  and  made
    12  available:
    13    §  4.  Paragraph  (c)  of  subdivision  5 of section 422 of the social
    14  services law, as added by chapter 555 of the laws of 2000, is amended to
    15  read as follows:
    16    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the office of children
    17  and family services may, in its discretion, grant a request  to  expunge
    18  an unfounded report where: (i) the source of the report was convicted of
    19  a  violation  of subdivision three of section 240.55 of the penal law in
    20  regard to such report; or (ii) the subject of the report presents  clear
    21  and  convincing  evidence  that  affirmatively refutes the allegation of
    22  abuse or maltreatment; provided however, that the absence of  [credible]
    23  a  fair preponderance of the evidence supporting the allegation of abuse
    24  or maltreatment shall not be the sole basis to expunge the report. Noth-
    25  ing in this paragraph shall require the office of  children  and  family
    26  services  to  hold  an  administrative  hearing  in  deciding whether to
    27  expunge a report. Such office shall make its determination upon  review-
    28  ing  the written evidence submitted by the subject of the report and any
    29  records or information obtained from the state  or  local  agency  which
    30  investigated the allegations of abuse or maltreatment.
    31    §  5.  Subparagraphs  (ii),  (iii),  (iv)  and (v) of paragraph (a) of
    32  subdivision 8 of section 422 of the social  services  law,  subparagraph
    33  (ii)  as  amended  by  chapter 323 of the laws of 2008 and subparagraphs
    34  (iii), (iv) and (v) as amended by chapter 12 of the laws  of  1996,  are
    35  amended to read as follows:
    36    (ii)  Upon  receipt  of a request to amend the record of a child abuse
    37  and maltreatment report the office of children and family services shall
    38  immediately send a written request to the child protective  service  [or
    39  the  state  agency]  which was responsible for investigating the allega-
    40  tions of abuse or maltreatment for all records, reports and other infor-
    41  mation maintained by the service [or state agency]  pertaining  to  such
    42  indicated  report.  Where  a  proceeding  pursuant to article ten of the
    43  family court act based on the same allegations that  were  indicated  is
    44  pending,  the  request to amend shall be stayed until the disposition of
    45  such family court proceeding. The service [or  state  agency]  shall  as
    46  expeditiously as possible but within no more than twenty working days of
    47  receiving  such request, forward all records, reports and other informa-
    48  tion it maintains on such indicated report to the office of children and
    49  family services, including a copy of any petition or court  order  based
    50  on  the  allegations  that were indicated.  [The] Unless such request to
    51  amend has been stayed, the office of children and family services  shall
    52  as  expeditiously  as  possible  but within no more than fifteen working
    53  days of receiving such materials from the child  protective  service  or
    54  state agency, review all such materials in its possession concerning the
    55  indicated  report  and determine, after affording such service [or state
    56  agency] a reasonable opportunity to present its views, whether there  is
        S. 7506--B                         90                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  a  fair preponderance of the evidence to find that the subject committed
     2  the act or acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the  indi-
     3  cated report and whether, based on guidelines developed by the office of
     4  children  and  family  services  pursuant to subdivision five of section
     5  four hundred twenty-four-a of this title, such  act  or  acts  could  be
     6  relevant  and  reasonably  related  to  employment of the subject of the
     7  report by a provider agency, as defined by subdivision three of  section
     8  four  hundred  twenty-four-a  of  this title, or relevant and reasonably
     9  related to the subject of the report being allowed to have  regular  and
    10  substantial  contact with children who are cared for by a provider agen-
    11  cy, or relevant and reasonably related to the approval or disapproval of
    12  an application submitted by the subject of the  report  to  a  licensing
    13  agency,  as  defined by subdivision four of section four hundred twenty-
    14  four-a of this title.
    15    (iii) If it is determined at the review held pursuant  to  this  para-
    16  graph  [(a)] that there is [no credible] not a fair preponderance of the
    17  evidence in the record to find that the subject committed an act or acts
    18  of child abuse or maltreatment, the [department] office of children  and
    19  family  services  shall  amend the record to indicate that the report is
    20  "unfounded" and notify the subject forthwith.
    21    (iv) If it is determined at the review held pursuant to this paragraph
    22  [(a)] that there is [some credible] a fair preponderance of the evidence
    23  in the record to find that the subject committed such act  or  acts  but
    24  that  such  act  or acts could not be relevant and reasonably related to
    25  the employment of the subject by a provider agency  or  to  the  subject
    26  being  allowed to have regular and substantial contact with children who
    27  are cared for by a provider agency or the approval or disapproval of  an
    28  application which could be submitted by the subject to a licensing agen-
    29  cy,  the  [department]  office  of children and family services shall be
    30  precluded from informing a provider or licensing agency which  makes  an
    31  inquiry  to  [the  department] such office pursuant to the provisions of
    32  section four hundred twenty-four-a of this title concerning the  subject
    33  that  the  person  about  whom  the inquiry is made is the subject of an
    34  indicated report of child abuse or maltreatment. The [department] office
    35  of children and family services shall notify forthwith  the  subject  of
    36  the report of such determinations and that a fair hearing has been sche-
    37  duled  pursuant  to paragraph (b) of this subdivision. The sole issue at
    38  such hearing shall be whether the subject has been shown by [some credi-
    39  ble] a fair preponderance of the evidence to have committed the  act  or
    40  acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the indicated report.
    41    (v)  If it is determined at the review held pursuant to this paragraph
    42  [(a)] that there is [some credible] a fair preponderance of the evidence
    43  in the record to prove that the subject committed  an  act  or  acts  of
    44  child  abuse or maltreatment and that such act or acts could be relevant
    45  and reasonably related to the employment of the subject  by  a  provider
    46  agency  or  to the subject being allowed to have regular and substantial
    47  contact with children cared for by a provider agency or the approval  or
    48  disapproval of an application which could be submitted by the subject to
    49  a  licensing  agency,  the  [department]  office  of children and family
    50  services shall notify forthwith the subject of the report of such deter-
    51  minations and that a fair hearing has been scheduled pursuant  to  para-
    52  graph (b) of this subdivision.
    53    §  6.  Subparagraph  (ii) of paragraph (b) of subdivision 8 of section
    54  422 of the social services law, as amended by chapter 12 of the laws  of
    55  1996, is amended to read as follows:
        S. 7506--B                         91                         A. 9506--B
 
     1    (ii)  The  burden  of  proof  in  such a hearing shall be on the child
     2  protective service [or the state agency] which investigated the report[,
     3  as the case may be].  In such a hearing, [the fact that there is]  where
     4  a  family  court  [finding of] proceeding pursuant to article ten of the
     5  family court act has occurred and where the petition for such proceeding
     6  alleges  that a respondent in that proceeding committed abuse or neglect
     7  against the subject child in regard to an allegation contained in  [the]
     8  a  report  indicated pursuant to this section: (A) where the court finds
     9  that such respondent did commit abuse or neglect there shall [create] be
    10  an irrebuttable presumption in a fair  hearing  held  pursuant  to  this
    11  subdivision  that  said allegation is substantiated by [some credible] a
    12  fair preponderance of the evidence as to that respondent on that allega-
    13  tion; and (B) where such child protective service withdraws  such  peti-
    14  tion  with prejudice, where the family court dismisses such petition, or
    15  where the family court finds on the merits in favor of  the  respondent,
    16  there shall be an irrebuttable presumption in a fair hearing held pursu-
    17  ant  to  this subdivision that said allegation as to that respondent has
    18  not been proven by a fair preponderance of the evidence.
    19    § 7. Subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of paragraph (c) of subdivision  8  of
    20  section  422 of the social services law, as amended by chapter 12 of the
    21  laws of 1996, and the opening paragraph of subparagraph (ii) as  amended
    22  by chapter 323 of the laws of 2008, are amended to read as follows:
    23    (i)  If  it is determined at the fair hearing that there is [no credi-
    24  ble] not a fair preponderance of the evidence in the record to find that
    25  the subject committed an act or acts of child abuse or maltreatment, the
    26  [department] office of children and  family  services  shall  amend  the
    27  record  to  reflect  that  such a finding was made at the administrative
    28  hearing, order any child protective  service  [or  state  agency]  which
    29  investigated  the  report  to similarly amend its records of the report,
    30  and shall notify the subject forthwith of the determination.
    31    (ii) Upon a determination made at a fair hearing  [held  on  or  after
    32  January  first,  nineteen  hundred eighty-six] scheduled pursuant to the
    33  provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of this subdivision that
    34  the subject has been shown by a fair preponderance of  the  evidence  to
    35  have  committed  the  act  or acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving
    36  rise to the indicated report, the hearing officer shall determine, based
    37  on guidelines developed by the office of children  and  family  services
    38  pursuant  to  subdivision  five of section four hundred twenty-four-a of
    39  this title, whether such act or acts are relevant and reasonably related
    40  to employment of the subject by a provider agency, as defined by  subdi-
    41  vision  three  of  section  four hundred twenty-four-a of this title, or
    42  relevant and reasonably related to the subject  being  allowed  to  have
    43  regular  and  substantial  contact  with children who are cared for by a
    44  provider agency or relevant and reasonably related to  the  approval  or
    45  disapproval  of  an  application submitted by the subject to a licensing
    46  agency, as defined by subdivision four of section four  hundred  twenty-
    47  four-a of this title.
    48    Upon  a  determination  made at a fair hearing that the act or acts of
    49  abuse or maltreatment are relevant and reasonably related to  employment
    50  of the subject by a provider agency or the subject being allowed to have
    51  regular  and  substantial  contact  with children who are cared for by a
    52  provider agency or the approval or denial of an application submitted by
    53  the subject to a licensing agency, the [department] office  of  children
    54  and family services shall notify the subject forthwith. The [department]
    55  office  of  children  and  family  services  shall  inform a provider or
    56  licensing agency which makes an inquiry to [the department] such  office
        S. 7506--B                         92                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  pursuant to the provisions of section four hundred twenty-four-a of this
     2  title  concerning  the subject that the person about whom the inquiry is
     3  made is the subject of an indicated child abuse or maltreatment report.
     4    The  failure  to determine at the fair hearing that the act or acts of
     5  abuse and maltreatment  are  relevant  and  reasonably  related  to  the
     6  employment  of  the subject by a provider agency or to the subject being
     7  allowed to have regular and substantial contact with  children  who  are
     8  cared  for by a provider agency or the approval or denial of an applica-
     9  tion submitted by the subject to a licensing agency shall  preclude  the
    10  [department]  office  of  children  and family services from informing a
    11  provider or licensing agency which makes an inquiry to [the  department]
    12  such  office  pursuant to the provisions of section four hundred twenty-
    13  four-a of this title concerning the subject that the person  about  whom
    14  the  inquiry  is  made  is  the  subject  of an indicated child abuse or
    15  maltreatment report.
    16    § 8. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 8  of  section  422  of  the  social
    17  services  law, as added by chapter 12 of the laws of 1996, is amended to
    18  read as follows:
    19    (e) Should the [department] office of  children  and  family  services
    20  grant the request of the subject of the report pursuant to this subdivi-
    21  sion either through an administrative review or fair hearing to amend an
    22  indicated  report  to  an unfounded report[. Such], such report shall be
    23  legally sealed and shall be released and expunged in accordance with the
    24  standards set forth in subdivision five of this section.
    25    § 9. Paragraph (e) of subdivision 1 of section  424-a  of  the  social
    26  services  law,  as  amended by chapter 634 of the laws of 1988, subpara-
    27  graphs (i), (ii) and (iii) as amended by chapter 12 of the laws of 1996,
    28  and subparagraph (iv) as amended by section 8-a of part D of chapter 501
    29  of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
    30    (e) (i) Subject to the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of  this  para-
    31  graph,  the  [department]  office  of children and family services shall
    32  inform the provider or licensing agency,  or  child  care  resource  and
    33  referral programs pursuant to subdivision six of this section whether or
    34  not  the person is the subject of an indicated child abuse and maltreat-
    35  ment report only if:
    36    [(a)] (A) (I) the time for the subject of the  report  to  request  an
    37  amendment  of  the record of the report pursuant to subdivision eight of
    38  section four hundred twenty-two has expired  without  any  such  request
    39  having been made; or
    40    [(b)](II)  such  request  was made within such time and a fair hearing
    41  regarding the request has been finally determined  by  the  commissioner
    42  and  the record of the report has not been amended to unfound the report
    43  or delete the person as a subject of the report; and
    44    (B) (I) the person is the subject of  an  indicated  report  of  child
    45  abuse; or
    46    (II)  the  person  is  not the subject of an indicated report of child
    47  abuse and is the subject of a report of  child  maltreatment  where  the
    48  indication  for child maltreatment occurred within less than eight years
    49  from the date of the inquiry.
    50    (ii) If the subject of an indicated report of child abuse or maltreat-
    51  ment has not requested an amendment of the record of the report  [within
    52  the  time specified in subdivision eight of section four hundred twenty-
    53  two of this title or if the subject had a fair hearing pursuant to  such
    54  section  prior  to  January  first,  nineteen hundred eighty-six] and an
    55  inquiry is made to  the  [department]  office  of  children  and  family
    56  services  pursuant  to  this  subdivision  concerning the subject of the
        S. 7506--B                         93                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  report, [the department] such office shall, as expeditiously as possible
     2  but within no more than ten working days  of  receipt  of  the  inquiry,
     3  determine  whether, in fact, the person about whom an inquiry is made is
     4  the subject of an indicated report. Upon making a determination that the
     5  person  about  whom  the  inquiry is made is the subject of an indicated
     6  report of child abuse and maltreatment, the [department] office of chil-
     7  dren and family services shall immediately send a written request to the
     8  child protective service or  state  agency  which  was  responsible  for
     9  investigating  the allegations of abuse or maltreatment for all records,
    10  reports and other information maintained by the service or state  agency
    11  on  the  subject. The service or state agency shall, as expeditiously as
    12  possible but within no more than twenty working days of  receiving  such
    13  request, forward all records, reports and other information it maintains
    14  on the indicated report to the [department] office of children and fami-
    15  ly  services,  including  a copy of any petition or court order based on
    16  the allegations that were indicated.  [The department] Where a  proceed-
    17  ing  pursuant to article ten of the family court act is pending based on
    18  the same allegations that were indicated, the  office  of  children  and
    19  family  services  shall  stay  determination  of whether there is a fair
    20  preponderance of the evidence to support the indication until the dispo-
    21  sition of such family court proceeding. Unless  such  determination  has
    22  been  stayed,  the  office of children and family services shall, within
    23  fifteen working days of receiving such records, reports and other infor-
    24  mation from the child protective service or  state  agency,  review  all
    25  records,  reports and other information in its possession concerning the
    26  subject and determine whether there is [some credible] a fair preponder-
    27  ance of the evidence to find that the subject had committed the  act  or
    28  acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the indicated report.
    29    (iii) If it is determined, after affording such service or state agen-
    30  cy  a  reasonable  opportunity  to  present its views, that there is [no
    31  credible] not a fair preponderance of the evidence in the record to find
    32  that the subject committed such act or acts, the [department] office  of
    33  children and family services shall amend the record to indicate that the
    34  report  was  unfounded  and  notify  the inquiring party that the person
    35  about whom the inquiry is made  is  not  the  subject  of  an  indicated
    36  report.  [If  the  subject  of the report had a fair hearing pursuant to
    37  subdivision eight of section four hundred twenty-two of this title prior
    38  to January first, nineteen hundred eighty-six and the fair  hearing  had
    39  been finally determined by the commissioner and the record of the report
    40  had  not  been  amended  to unfound the report or delete the person as a
    41  subject of the report, then the department shall determine that there is
    42  some credible evidence to find that the subject had committed the act or
    43  acts of child  abuse  or  maltreatment  giving  rise  to  the  indicated
    44  report.]
    45    (iv)  (A)  If  it  is  determined  after a review by the office of all
    46  records, reports  and  information  in  its  possession  concerning  the
    47  subject  of  the report that there is a preponderance of the evidence to
    48  find that the subject committed the  act  or  acts  of  child  abuse  or
    49  maltreatment  giving rise to the indicated report, the office shall also
    50  determine whether such act or acts are relevant and  reasonably  related
    51  to  issues concerning the employment of the subject by a provider agency
    52  or the subject being allowed to have  regular  and  substantial  contact
    53  with  individuals  cared  for  by  a  provider agency or the approval or
    54  disapproval of an application which has been submitted by the subject to
    55  a licensing agency, based on guidelines developed pursuant  to  subdivi-
    56  sion five of this section. If it is determined that such act or acts are
        S. 7506--B                         94                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  not  relevant  and related to such issues, the office shall be precluded
     2  from informing the provider or licensing agency which made  the  inquiry
     3  to  the  office  pursuant to this section that the person about whom the
     4  inquiry  is made is the subject of an indicated report of child abuse or
     5  maltreatment.
     6    (B) Where the subject of the report is not the subject  of  any  indi-
     7  cated  report  of  child  abuse  and is the subject of a report of child
     8  maltreatment where the indication for child maltreatment  occurred  more
     9  than  eight  years prior to the date of the inquiry, any such indication
    10  of child maltreatment shall be deemed to be not relevant and  reasonably
    11  related to employment.
    12    (v)  If  it is determined after a review by the [department] office of
    13  children and family services of all records, reports and information  in
    14  its  possession concerning the subject of the report that there is [some
    15  credible] a fair preponderance of the evidence to prove that the subject
    16  committed the act or acts of abuse or maltreatment giving  rise  to  the
    17  indicated  report [and that such act or acts are relevant and reasonably
    18  related to issues concerning the employment of the subject by a provider
    19  agency or to the subject being allowed to have regular  and  substantial
    20  contact  with children cared for by a provider agency or the approval or
    21  disapproval of an application which has been submitted by the subject to
    22  a licensing agency, the department shall inform the inquiring party that
    23  the person about whom the inquiry is made is the subject of an indicated
    24  report of child abuse and maltreatment; the department shall also notify
    25  the subject of the inquiry of his or her  fair  hearing  rights  granted
    26  pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision two of this section] the office
    27  of children and family services shall notify the subject of the determi-
    28  nation of such report and of the subject's right to request a fair hear-
    29  ing.  If the subject shall request a hearing, the office of children and
    30  family services shall schedule a fair hearing and shall  provide  notice
    31  of  the  scheduled  hearing  date  to the subject, the statewide central
    32  register and, as appropriate, to  the  child  protective  service  which
    33  investigated such report.
    34    (vi)  The  burden  of  proof  in  such a hearing shall be on the child
    35  protective service which investigated the report.  In  such  a  hearing,
    36  where  a  family  court proceeding pursuant to article ten of the family
    37  court act has occurred  and  where  the  petition  for  such  proceeding
    38  alleges  that  a  respondent  in  that  proceeding  committed  abuse  or
    39  maltreatment against the  subject  child  in  regard  to  an  allegation
    40  contained  in a report indicated pursuant to this section: (A) where the
    41  court finds that such respondent did commit abuse or maltreatment  there
    42  shall  be an irrebuttable presumption in a fair hearing held pursuant to
    43  this subdivision that said allegation is substantiated by a fair prepon-
    44  derance of the evidence as to that respondent on  that  allegation;  and
    45  (B)  where  such  child  protective service withdraws such petition with
    46  prejudice, where the family court dismisses such petition, or where  the
    47  family court finds on the merits in favor of the respondent, there shall
    48  be  an  irrebuttable presumption in a fair hearing held pursuant to this
    49  subdivision that said allegation as to  that  respondent  has  not  been
    50  proven by a fair preponderance of the evidence.
    51    (vii)  If  it shall be determined at the fair hearing that there is no
    52  fair preponderance of the evidence  in  the  record  to  find  that  the
    53  subject  committed  an  act  or acts of child abuse or maltreatment, the
    54  office of children and family services shall amend the record as to that
    55  respondent on that allegation to reflect that such a finding was made at
    56  the administrative hearing, order any  child  protective  service  which
        S. 7506--B                         95                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  investigated  the  report  as  to that respondent to similarly amend its
     2  records of such report, notify the subject  of  the  determination,  and
     3  notify  the  inquiring party that the person about whom such inquiry was
     4  made is not the subject of an indicated report on that allegation.
     5    (viii)  Upon  a determination at the fair hearing that the subject has
     6  been shown, by a fair preponderance of the evidence  to  have  committed
     7  the  act or acts of child abuse or maltreatment giving rise to the indi-
     8  cated report, the hearing officer shall determine, based  on  guidelines
     9  developed  by  the  office  of  children and family services pursuant to
    10  subdivision five of this section, whether such act or acts are  relevant
    11  and  reasonably related to the subject being allowed to have regular and
    12  substantial contact with children who are cared for by a provider agency
    13  as defined in subdivision three of this section, or relevant and reason-
    14  ably related to the approval or disapproval of an application  submitted
    15  by  the  subject to a licensing agency as defined in subdivision four of
    16  this section.
    17    (ix) Upon a determination made at a fair hearing that the act or  acts
    18  of  abuse  or  maltreatment  are  relevant and reasonably related to the
    19  employment of the subject by a provider agency as defined in subdivision
    20  three of this section, the subject being allowed  to  have  regular  and
    21  substantial contact with children who are cared for by a provider agency
    22  as defined in subdivision three of this section, or relevant and reason-
    23  ably  related to the approval or disapproval of an application submitted
    24  by the subject to a licensing agency as defined in subdivision  four  of
    25  this  section,  the  office of children and family services shall notify
    26  the subject and shall inform the inquiring party that the  person  about
    27  whom  such  inquiry  was  made  is the subject of an indicated report of
    28  child abuse or maltreatment.
    29    (x) The failure to determine at the fair hearing that the act or  acts
    30  of  abuse  or  maltreatment  are  relevant and reasonably related to the
    31  employment of the subject by a provider agency as defined in subdivision
    32  three of this section, the subject being allowed  to  have  regular  and
    33  substantial contact with children who are cared for by a provider agency
    34  as defined in subdivision three of this section, or relevant and reason-
    35  ably  related to the approval or disapproval of an application submitted
    36  by the subject to a licensing agency as defined in subdivision  four  of
    37  this  section, shall preclude the office of children and family services
    38  from informing a provider agency as defined in subdivision three of this
    39  section or licensing agency as  defined  in  subdivision  four  of  this
    40  section  that such person is the subject of an indicated report of child
    41  abuse or maltreatment on that allegation.
    42    § 10. Section 651-a of the family court act, as amended by chapter  12
    43  of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows:
    44    §  651-a.  Reports  of child abuse and maltreatment; admissibility. In
    45  any proceeding brought pursuant to this section to determine the custody
    46  or visitation of minors, a report made to the statewide central register
    47  of child abuse and maltreatment, pursuant to title six of article six of
    48  the social services law, or a portion thereof, which is otherwise admis-
    49  sible as a business record pursuant to rule forty-five hundred  eighteen
    50  of the civil practice law and rules shall not be admissible in evidence,
    51  notwithstanding  such  rule,  unless  an  investigation  of  such report
    52  conducted pursuant to title six of article six of  the  social  services
    53  law  commenced  on or before December thirty-first, two thousand twenty-
    54  one has determined that there is some credible evidence of  the  alleged
    55  abuse  or  maltreatment,  or  unless  an  investigation  of  such report
    56  conducted pursuant to title six of article six of  the  social  services
        S. 7506--B                         96                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  law  commenced on or after January first, two thousand twenty-two deter-
     2  mines that there is a fair preponderance of the evidence of the  alleged
     3  abuse  or maltreatment, that the subject of the report has been notified
     4  that  the  report  is  indicated.  In  addition, if such report has been
     5  reviewed by the state commissioner of social services  or  his  designee
     6  and  has  been determined to be unfounded, it shall not be admissible in
     7  evidence. If such report has been so reviewed and has  been  amended  to
     8  delete  any  finding, each such deleted finding shall not be admissible.
     9  If the state commissioner of social services or his designee has amended
    10  the report to add any new finding, each such new finding, together  with
    11  any  portion  of  the original report not deleted by the commissioner or
    12  his designee, shall be admissible if it meets the other requirements  of
    13  this section and is otherwise admissible as a business record. If such a
    14  report,  or  portion thereof, is admissible in evidence but is uncorrob-
    15  orated, it shall not be sufficient to make a fact finding  of  abuse  or
    16  maltreatment  in  such proceeding. Any other evidence tending to support
    17  the reliability of such report shall be sufficient corroboration.
    18    § 11. This act shall take effect immediately; provided,  however  that
    19  sections one, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten of this
    20  act shall take effect January 1, 2022.  Effective immediately, the addi-
    21  tion,  amendment  and/or  repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for
    22  the implementation of this act on its effective date are  authorized  to
    23  be  made  and completed by the office of children and family services on
    24  or before such effective date.

    19  read as follows:
    20    §  171-w. State support for the local enforcement of past-due property
    21  taxes. 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that local govern-
    22  ments have limited means to enforce the collection of past-due  property
    23  taxes.  The  legislature  further  finds  that it is appropriate for the
    24  state to support the local enforcement of  past-due  property  taxes  by
    25  authorizing  the  commissioner  to administer a program to disallow STAR
    26  credits and exemptions to delinquent property owners based  on  informa-
    27  tion reported to him or her by municipal officials.
    28    2. Definitions. For the purposes of this section:
    29    (a)  "Delinquent  property owner" means a STAR recipient whose primary
    30  residence is subject to past-due property taxes.
    31    (b) "Past-due property taxes" means  property  taxes  that  have  been
    32  levied  upon a property owner's primary residence that remain unpaid one
    33  year after the last date on which they  could  have  been  paid  without
    34  interest,  or  where such taxes are payable in installments, those taxes
    35  that remain unpaid one year after the  last  date  on  which  the  final
    36  installment could have been paid without interest.
    37    (c)  "STAR  credit"  means  the  basic STAR personal income tax credit
    38  authorized by subsection (eee) of section six hundred six of this  chap-
    39  ter.
    40    (d) "STAR exemption" means the basic STAR exemption from real property
    41  taxation  authorized  by  section  four  hundred twenty-five of the real
    42  property tax law.
    43    (e) "STAR recipient" means a  property  owner  who  is  registered  to
    44  receive  the STAR credit in relation to his or her primary residence, or
    45  whose primary residence is receiving the STAR exemption.
    46    3.  STAR  tax  payment  requirement;  generally.  Notwithstanding  any
    47  provision  of  law to the contrary, a property owner whose primary resi-
    48  dence is subject to past-due property taxes  shall  not  be  allowed  to
    49  receive  a  STAR  credit  or STAR exemption unless the past-due property
    50  taxes are paid in full on or before a date specified by the  commission-
    51  er.
    52    4.  Commissioner's authority. The commissioner is hereby authorized to
    53  develop a program to support the local enforcement of past-due  property
    54  taxes  by  disallowing  STAR  credits  and STAR exemptions to delinquent
        S. 7506--B                         99                         A. 9506--B
 
     1  property owners. The commissioner shall  establish  procedures  for  the
     2  administration  of  this  program,  which  shall  include  the following
     3  provisions:
     4    (a)  The procedures by which municipal officials shall report past-due
     5  property taxes and property tax payments to the department.
     6    (b) The procedures by which the  department  shall  notify  delinquent
     7  property  owners  of the impending disallowance of their STAR credits or
     8  exemptions due to past-due property taxes.
     9    (c) The date by which delinquent property owners must pay their  past-
    10  due  property taxes in full in order to avoid disallowance of their STAR
    11  credits or exemptions.
    12    (d) The procedures by which the commissioner shall disallow STAR cred-
    13  its and notify assessors of the disallowance of STAR exemptions if past-
    14  due property taxes are not paid in full by the specified date.
    15    (e) Such other procedures as the commissioner shall deem necessary  to
    16  carry out the provisions of this section.
    17    5.  Municipal reports. The commissioner's procedures regarding munici-
    18  pal reporting shall be subject to the following provisions:
    19    (a) The commissioner may request and shall be entitled to receive from
    20  any municipal corporation of the state, or any agency or official there-
    21  of, such data as the commissioner  deems  necessary  to  effectuate  the
    22  purposes  of  this section.   Such information shall be submitted to the
    23  department at such time and in  such  manner  as  the  commissioner  may
    24  direct.
    25    (b)  In  lieu of requiring municipal officials to submit their reports
    26  directly to  the  department,  the  commissioner  may,  in  his  or  her
    27  discretion,  require that such reports be submitted to the county direc-
    28  tor of real property tax services, who shall integrate the reports  into
    29  a  single  file and submit it to the department at such time and in such
    30  manner as the commissioner may direct. Provided, that where the  commis-
    31  sioner  institutes  such  a procedure, he or she may exclude cities with
    32  one hundred twenty-five thousand inhabitants or more, so  that  informa-
    33  tion  about  past-due property taxes and property tax payments in such a
    34  city shall be reported directly to the department by a  designated  city
    35  official at such time and in such manner as the commissioner may direct.
    36    (c)  Reports and other records prepared pursuant to this section shall
    37  not be subject to the provisions of article six of the  public  officers
    38  law.
    39    6.  Notification  of  delinquent  property  owners. The commissioner's
    40  procedures regarding the  notification  of  delinquent  property  owners
    41  shall be subject to the following provisions:
    42    (a) The department shall notify a delinquent property owner by regular
    43  mail at least thirty days prior to the date by which his or her past-due
    44  property  taxes  must  be paid in full in order to avoid disallowance of
    45  his or her STAR credit or exemption.
    46    (b) Such notice shall include a statement that  the  property  owner's
    47  STAR  credit  or exemption will be disallowed unless his or her past-due
    48  property taxes are paid in full by the date specified in the notice.
    49    (c) To the extent  practicable,  such  notice  shall  provide  contact
    50  information  for  the  local  official or officials to whom the past-due
    51  property taxes may be paid.
    52    (d) Such notice shall further state that the property owner's right to
    53  protest the disallowance of the STAR credit or exemption is  limited  to
    54  raising  issues that constitute a "mistake of fact" as defined in subdi-
    55  vision nine of this section.
        S. 7506--B                         100                        A. 9506--B
 
     1    (e) Such notice may include such other information as the commissioner
     2  may deem necessary.
     3    7. Timely payment of past-due property taxes. If a delinquent property
     4  owner  pays  his or her past-due property taxes in full on or before the
     5  date specified in such notice, the official receiving such payment shall
     6  so notify the department at such time and in such manner  as  prescribed
     7  by  the  commissioner.  The  property  owner  shall then be permitted to
     8  receive the STAR credit or exemption that would have been disallowed  if
     9  timely  payment  had  not been made. However, if the department does not
    10  learn of the payment until after it has already directed an assessor  to
    11  deny  a  STAR  exemption to a delinquent property owner, then in lieu of
    12  directing the exemption to be restored, the department may remit to  the
    13  property  owner  payment  in  an amount that will reimburse the property
    14  owner for the increase in his or her school tax bill  that  is  directly
    15  attributable to the lost STAR exemption.
    16    8.  Failure  to make timely payment. (a) If the past-due taxes are not
    17  paid on or before the date specified in the notice that had been sent to
    18  the delinquent property owner, his or her STAR credit or STAR  exemption
    19  shall be disallowed in accordance with the procedures established by the
    20  commissioner.
    21    (b)  The  property  owner  shall not be eligible to participate in the
    22  STAR program again as long as the property is subject to past-due  prop-
    23  erty taxes.
    24    (c)  Upon payment of the past-due property taxes in full, the official
    25  receiving such payment shall notify the department at such time  and  in
    26  such  manner  as may be prescribed by the commissioner. The commissioner
    27  shall then proceed as follows:
    28    (i) If the property owner had previously been receiving the STAR cred-
    29  it, the commissioner shall allow the property owner to resume his or her
    30  participation in the STAR credit program  on  a  prospective  basis,  if
    31  otherwise  eligible,  effective  with  the first taxable year commencing
    32  after such payment.
    33    (ii) If the property owner had  previously  been  receiving  the  STAR
    34  exemption,  the  commissioner  shall allow the property owner to partic-
    35  ipate in the STAR credit program on a prospective  basis,  if  otherwise
    36  eligible,  effective  with  the first taxable year commencing after such
    37  payment. The property owner shall not be  allowed  back  into  the  STAR
    38  exemption program.
    39    (iii)  The  commissioner shall, when making the first advanced payment
    40  of a STAR credit to the property taxpayer after payment of the  past-due
    41  property  taxes in full, also pay to such property taxpayer the value of
    42  the STAR exemptions or STAR credits that  were  disallowed  pursuant  to
    43  paragraph a of this subdivision.
    44    9.  Mistake  of  fact.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law, a
    45  disallowance of a STAR credit or STAR exemption pursuant to this section
    46  may only be challenged before the department on the grounds of a mistake
    47  of fact as defined in this subdivision. The taxpayer will have no  right
    48  to  commence a court action, administrative proceeding or any other form
    49  of legal recourse against an assessor, county director of real  property
    50  tax  services  or  other local official regarding such disallowance. For
    51  the purposes of this subdivision, "mistake of fact" is limited to claims
    52  that: (i) the individual notified is not the taxpayer at issue; or  (ii)
    53  the  past-due property taxes were satisfied before the date specified in
    54  the notice described in subdivision six of this section. However,  noth-
    55  ing  in  this  subdivision  is intended to limit a taxpayer from seeking
    56  relief from joint and several liability pursuant to section six  hundred
        S. 7506--B                         101                        A. 9506--B
 
     1  fifty-four  of  this  chapter  to  the extent that he or she is eligible
     2  pursuant to that subdivision or establishing to the department that  the
     3  enforcement  of  the  underlying  property  taxes has been stayed by the
     4  filing  of  a  petition  pursuant  to the Bankruptcy Code of 1978 (Title
     5  Eleven of the United States Code).
     6    10. Assessors. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contra-
     7  ry, the department may disclose to assessors  such  information  as  the
     8  commissioner  deems  necessary  to  ensure  that  the STAR exemptions of
     9  delinquent property owners are disallowed as required by this section.
    10    (b) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, an  assessor
    11  shall  be  authorized  and directed to deny a STAR exemption to a delin-
    12  quent property owner upon being directed by the department to do so.  If
    13  an assessor should receive such a directive after the applicable assess-
    14  ment  roll has been filed, the assessor or other official having custody
    15  and control of that roll shall be authorized and directed to remove such
    16  exemption from such roll prior to the  levy  of  school  taxes,  without
    17  regard  to  the  provisions  of  title three of article five of the real
    18  property tax law or any comparable  laws  governing  the  correction  of
    19  administrative errors on assessment rolls and tax rolls.
    20    11.  Recovery  of STAR benefits in certain cases. The commissioner may
    21  establish procedures to be followed in cases  where  a  STAR  credit  or
    22  exemption  was  inadvertently  or  erroneously  provided to a delinquent
    23  property owner who was sent the notice required by  subdivision  six  of
    24  this section, and whose past-due property taxes were not paid in full by
    25  the date specified in the notice. Such procedures shall include, but not
    26  be  limited  to,  (a)  applying  the  improperly received STAR credit or
    27  exemption as an offset against future  STAR  credits  or  against  other
    28  personal  income tax credits or personal income tax refunds to which the
    29  delinquent property owner would otherwise be entitled, and (b)  pursuing
    30  any  of  the  other  remedies  that  are available to enforce a personal
    31  income tax debt under article twenty-two of this chapter.
    32    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

    35  subsection (d) to read as follows:

    44  of the employer election must be made no later than January fifteenth of

     6    Distributions shall first be made to consortia  and  teaching  general
     7  hospitals  for the empire clinical research investigator program (ECRIP)
     8  to help secure federal funding for biomedical research,  train  clinical
     9  researchers,  recruit national leaders as faculty to act as mentors, and

    11  hospital-specific  data  submitted  to the commissioner by consortia and
    12  teaching general hospitals in accordance with clause (G) of this subpar-
    13  agraph. Such distributions shall be made in accordance with the  follow-
    14  ing methodology:
    15    (A)  The  greatest  number  of clinical research positions for which a
    16  consortium or teaching general hospital may be funded pursuant  to  this
    17  subparagraph  shall  be  one  percent  of  the total number of residents
    18  training at the consortium or teaching general hospital on  July  first,
    19  two  thousand  eight  for  the  period  January first, two thousand nine
    20  through December thirty-first, two thousand nine rounded up to the near-
    21  est one position.
    22    (B) Distributions made to a consortium or  teaching  general  hospital
    23  shall  equal  the product of the total number of clinical research posi-
    24  tions submitted  by  a  consortium  or  teaching  general  hospital  and
    25  accepted  by the commissioner as meeting the criteria set forth in para-
    26  graph (b) of subdivision one of this section, subject to  the  reduction
    27  calculation  set  forth  in  clause  (C) of this subparagraph, times one
    28  hundred ten thousand dollars.
    29    (C) If the dollar amount for the total  number  of  clinical  research
    30  positions  in  the  region  calculated  pursuant  to  clause (B) of this
    31  subparagraph exceeds the total amount appropriated for purposes of  this
    32  paragraph,  including clinical research positions that continue from and
    33  were funded in prior distribution periods, the commissioner shall elimi-
    34  nate one-half of the  clinical  research  positions  submitted  by  each
    35  consortium  or teaching general hospital rounded down to the nearest one
    36  position. Such reduction shall be repeated until the dollar  amount  for
    37  the  total  number of clinical research positions in the region does not
    38  exceed the total amount appropriated for purposes of this paragraph.  If
    39  the  repeated  reduction  of the total number of clinical research posi-
    40  tions in the region by one-half does not render a total  funding  amount
    41  that  is equal to or less than the total amount reserved for that region
    42  within the appropriation, the funding for each clinical  research  posi-
    43  tion  in  that  region  shall  be reduced proportionally in one thousand
    44  dollar increments until the total dollar amount for the total number  of
    45  clinical  research  positions  in  that region does not exceed the total
    46  amount reserved for that region within the appropriation. Any  reduction
    47  in  funding will be effective for the duration of the award. No clinical
    48  research positions that continue from and were funded in prior  distrib-
    49  ution periods shall be eliminated or reduced by such methodology.

     3          30.06 Restricted use of title.
     4  § 30.01 Legislative findings.
     5    The  legislature  hereby  finds that effective diagnosis and treatment
     6  for citizens struggling with eating disorders, a complex and potentially
     7  life-threatening condition, requires a  continuum  of  interdisciplinary
     8  providers  and  levels  of  care. Such effective diagnosis and treatment
     9  further requires the coordination and  comprehensive  management  of  an
    10  individualized  plan of care specifically oriented to the distinct needs
    11  of each individual.
    12    The legislature further finds that, while there  are  numerous  health
    13  care providers in the state with expertise in eating disorder treatment,
    14  there is no generally accessible, comprehensive system for responding to
    15  these  disorders. Due to the lack of such a system the legislature finds
    16  that treatment, information/referral, prevention and research activities
    17  are fragmented and incomplete. In addition, due to the broad,  multifac-
    18  eted  needs of individuals with eating disorders, insurance payments for
    19  the necessary plan of care and providers is usually fragmented as  well,
    20  leaving  citizens with insufficient coverage for essential services and,
    21  therefore, at risk of incomplete treatment, relapse,  deterioration  and
    22  potential death.
    23    The legislature therefore declares that the state take positive action
    24  to  facilitate  the  development  and  public identification of provider
    25  networks and care  centers  of  excellence  to  provide  a  coordinated,
    26  comprehensive  system for the treatment of such disorders, as well as to
    27  conduct  community  education,  prevention,   information/referral   and
    28  research activities. The legislature further declares that health cover-
    29  age  by  insurers  and  health  maintenance organizations should include
    30  covered services provided through such centers and that, to  the  extent
    31  possible and practicable, health plan reimbursement should be structured
    32  in  a  manner  to facilitate the individualized, comprehensive and inte-
    33  grated plans of care which such centers are required to provide.
    34  § 30.02 Definitions.
    35    For purposes of this article:

     1    (b)  Promoting  ready  access  to  information, referral and treatment

    45    (a)  The commissioner shall identify a sufficient number of comprehen-
    46  sive centers to ensure adequate access to services in all regions of the

    32  age  is  not  equal  to  or  less  than the 1996 target medicaid revenue
    33  percentage, the commissioner of health shall compare the  1996  medicaid
    34  revenue  percentage  to  the  1996 target medicaid revenue percentage to
    35  determine the amount of the shortfall which, when divided  by  the  1996
    36  medicaid   revenue  reduction  percentage,  shall  be  called  the  1996
    37  reduction factor. These amounts, expressed as a  percentage,  shall  not
    38  exceed  one  hundred percent. If the 1996 medicaid revenue percentage is
    39  equal to or less than the 1996 target medicaid revenue  percentage,  the
    40  1996 reduction factor shall be zero.
    41    (b)  For  1997,  1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006,

    43  [and],  2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, for each regional group, if the
    44  medicaid revenue percentage for the respective year is not equal  to  or
    45  less  than  the  target  medicaid revenue percentage for such respective
    46  year, the commissioner of health shall compare  such  respective  year's
    47  medicaid  revenue  percentage  to such respective year's target medicaid
    48  revenue percentage to determine the amount of the shortfall which,  when

    21    Section  1.  The  public  health  law  is  amended by adding three new
    22  sections 1399-mm-1, 1399-mm-2, and 1399-mm-3 to read as follows:
    23    § 1399-mm-1. Sale of flavored products prohibited. 1. For the purposes
    24  of this section "flavored" shall mean  any  vapor  product  intended  or
    25  reasonably  expected to be used with or for the consumption of nicotine,
    26  with a distinguishable taste or aroma, other than the taste or aroma  of
    27  tobacco,  imparted either prior to or during consumption of such product
    28  or a component part thereof, including but  not  limited  to  tastes  or
    29  aromas  relating  to any fruit, chocolate, vanilla, honey, candy, cocoa,
    30  dessert, alcoholic beverage, mint, wintergreen, menthol, herb or  spice,
    31  or any concept flavor that imparts a taste or aroma that is distinguish-
    32  able  from  tobacco  flavor  but  may not relate to any particular known
    33  flavor. A vapor product intended or reasonably expected to be used  with
    34  or  for the consumption of nicotine, shall be presumed to be flavored if
    35  a product's retailer, manufacturer, or a manufacturer's agent or employ-
    36  ee has made a statement or claim directed to consumers  or  the  public,
    37  whether  expressed or implied, that such product or device has a distin-
    38  guishable taste or aroma other than the taste or aroma of tobacco.
    39    2. No vapor products dealer, or any  agent  or  employee  of  a  vapor
    40  products dealer, shall sell or offer for sale at retail in the state any
    41  flavored  vapor  product intended or reasonably expected to be used with
    42  or for the consumption of nicotine.
    43    3. Any vapor products dealer, or any agent  or  employee  of  a  vapor
    44  products  dealer,  who  violates the provisions of this section shall be
    45  subject to a civil penalty of not more than one hundred dollars for each
    46  individual package of flavored  vapor  product  intended  or  reasonably
    47  expected  to  be  used  with  or for the consumption of nicotine sold or
    48  offered for sale, provided, however, that with respect to a  manufactur-
    49  er,  it shall be an affirmative defense to a finding of violation pursu-
    50  ant to this section that such sale or  offer  of  sale,  as  applicable,
    51  occurred  without the knowledge, consent, authorization, or involvement,
    52  direct or indirect, of such manufacturer.  Violations  of  this  section
    53  shall be enforced pursuant to section thirteen hundred ninety-nine-ff of
        S. 7506--B                         192                        A. 9506--B

     2  enforcement officer that a violation of this section has occurred.
     3    4.  The  provisions  of  this  section  shall  not  apply to any vapor
     4  products dealer, or any agent or employee of a  vapor  products  dealer,
     5  who  sells  or  offers  for  sale, or who possess with intent to sell or
     6  offer for sale,  any  flavored  vapor  product  intended  or  reasonably
     7  expected  to  be  used  with or for the consumption of nicotine that the
     8  U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized to  legally  market  as
     9  defined  under 21 U.S.C. § 387j and that has received a premarket review
    10  approval order under 21 U.S.C. § 387j(c) et seq.
    11    § 1399-mm-2. Sale in pharmacies. 1. No tobacco product,  herbal  ciga-
    12  rette,  or vapor product intended or reasonably expected to be used with
    13  or for the consumption of nicotine, shall be sold in a pharmacy or in  a
    14  retail  establishment  that contains a pharmacy operated as a department
    15  as defined by paragraph f of  subdivision  two  of  section  sixty-eight
    16  hundred eight of the education law.  Provided, however, that such prohi-
    17  bition  on  the  sale  of  tobacco products, herbal cigarettes, or vapor
    18  products intended or reasonably expected to be  used  with  or  for  the
    19  consumption of nicotine, shall not apply to any other business that owns
    20  or  leases  premises  within  any  building  or other facility that also
    21  contains a pharmacy or a retail establishment that contains  a  pharmacy
    22  operated as a department as defined by paragraph f of subdivision two of
    23  section sixty-eight hundred eight of the education law.
    24    2.  The  commissioner  shall  have  sole  jurisdiction  to enforce the
    25  provisions of this section. The commissioner shall  have  the  power  to
    26  assess  penalties  in accordance with section twelve of this chapter and
    27  pursuant to a hearing conducted in accordance with section  twelve-a  of
    28  this chapter. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the
    29  commissioner  from  commencing  a  proceeding  for  injunctive relief to
    30  compel compliance with this section.
    31    § 1399-mm-3. Carrier oils. 1. For the purposes of this section "carri-
    32  er oils" shall mean any  ingredient  of  a  vapor  product  intended  to
    33  control  the consistency or other physical characteristics of such vapor
    34  product, to control the consistency or other physical characteristics of
    35  vapor, or to facilitate the production of vapor when such vapor  product
    36  is used in an electronic cigarette. "Carrier oils" shall not include any
    37  product  approved by the United States food and drug administration as a
    38  drug or medical device or manufactured and dispensed pursuant  to  title
    39  five-A of article thirty-three of this chapter.
    40    2.  The commissioner is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations
    41  governing the sale and distribution of carrier oils that  are  suspected
    42  of  causing  acute  illness  and  have  been identified as a chemical of
    43  concern by the United States centers for disease control and prevention.
    44  Such regulations may, to the extent deemed by the commissioner as neces-
    45  sary for the protection of public health, prohibit or restrict the sell-
    46  ing, offering for sale, possessing with intent to sell, or  distributing
    47  of carrier oils.
    48    3.  The  provisions of this section shall not apply where preempted by
    49  federal law.   Furthermore, the provisions  of  this  section  shall  be
    50  severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence, or provision is declared
    51  to be invalid, or is preempted by federal law or regulation, the validi-
    52  ty  of  the  remainder of this section shall not be affected thereby. If
    53  any provision of this section is declared  to  be  inapplicable  to  any
    54  specific  category, type, or kind of carrier oil, the provisions of this
    55  section shall nonetheless continue to apply with respect  to  all  other
    56  carrier oils.
        S. 7506--B                         193                        A. 9506--B

    16  thirteen-A of the civil practice law  and  rules,  as  if  such  article
    17  specifically  provided  for  forfeiture  of cigarettes or vapor products
    18  intended or reasonably expected to be used with or for  the  consumption
    19  of  nicotine seized pursuant to this section as a pre-conviction forfei-

    24  addition to the criminal penalty, any person who violates the provisions
    25  of subdivision one, one-a, two or three of this section shall be subject
    26  to a civil penalty not to  exceed  the  greater  of  (a)  five  thousand
    27  dollars  for  each such violation; [or] (b) one hundred dollars for each

    33    6.  The  attorney  general  may  bring  an action to recover the civil
    34  penalties provided by subdivision five of  this  section  and  for  such
    35  other  relief  as  may be deemed necessary. In addition, the corporation
    36  counsel of any political subdivision that imposes a tax on cigarettes or
    37  vapor products intended or reasonably expected to used with or  for  the
    38  consumption  of nicotine may bring an action to recover the civil penal-
    39  ties provided by subdivision five of this section  and  for  such  other
    40  relief  as  may  be  deemed  necessary with respect to any cigarettes or

    42  the consumption of nicotine shipped, caused to be shipped or transported
    43  in violation of this section to any person located within such political
    44  subdivision.  All  civil  penalties obtained in any such action shall be
    45  retained by the state or political  subdivision  bringing  such  action,
    46  provided that no person shall be required to pay civil penalties to both
    47  the state and a political subdivision with respect to the same violation
    48  of this section.

    32  thousand five hundred dollars for a first violation, and  a  minimum  of

    28  relating  to  pharmaceutical  utilization  by  enrollees of managed care
    29  providers pursuant to section three hundred sixty-four-j of  this  title
    30  and  may also negotiate directly and enter into such an agreement relat-
    31  ing to pharmaceutical utilization by medical assistance  recipients  not

    41  arrangement  with  the  federal  secretary  of health and human services
    42  pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1396r-8, and for which the state has established
    43  standard clinical criteria. No agreement entered into pursuant  to  this
    44  paragraph  shall  have an initial term or be extended beyond the expira-
    45  tion or repeal of this paragraph.
    46    (i) The manufacturer shall not [pay  supplemental  rebates  to]  enter
    47  into  any  rebate arrangements with a managed care provider, or any of a
    48  managed care provider's agents, including but not limited to any pharma-
    49  cy benefit manager on the [two] gene therapy, drug, or drug classes  [of
    50  drugs]  subject  to this paragraph when the state [is collecting supple-
    51  mental rebates] has a rebate arrangement in place and standard  clinical
    52  criteria are imposed on the managed care provider.

     1  tiating  such  [rebates] arrangements and any limitations imposed on the
     2  managed care provider's ability to establish clinical criteria  relating
     3  to the utilization of such drugs. In developing the managed care provid-
     4  er's  reimbursement  rate, the commissioner shall identify the amount of
     5  reimbursement for such drugs as a separate and distinct  component  from
     6  the reimbursement otherwise made for prescription drugs as prescribed by
     7  this section.
     8    (iii)  The  commissioner shall submit a report to the temporary presi-
     9  dent of the senate and the speaker of the assembly annually by  December
    10  thirty-first.  The report shall analyze the adequacy of rates to managed
    11  care providers for drug expenditures related to the classes  under  this
    12  paragraph.
    13    (iv) Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require a pharma-
    14  ceutical  manufacturer  to  enter  into a [supplemental rebate agreement
    15  with the commissioner] rebate arrangement satisfactory  to  the  commis-
    16  sioner  relating  to  pharmaceutical utilization by enrollees of managed
    17  care providers pursuant to section three hundred  sixty-four-j  of  this
    18  title  or  relating  to pharmaceutical utilization by medical assistance
    19  recipients not so enrolled.
    20    (v) All clinical criteria, including requirements for prior  approval,
    21  and  all  utilization  review determinations established by the state as
    22  described in this paragraph for [either of] the [drug]  gene  therapies,
    23  drugs,  or  drug  classes  subject  to this paragraph shall be developed
    24  using evidence-based  and  peer-reviewed  clinical  review  criteria  in
    25  accordance with article two-A of the public health law, as applicable.
    26    (vi)  All  prior  authorization  and utilization review determinations
    27  related to the coverage of any drug subject to this paragraph  shall  be
    28  subject  to  article  forty-nine of the public health law, section three
    29  hundred sixty-four-j of this title, and article forty-nine of the insur-
    30  ance law, as applicable. Nothing in this paragraph  shall  diminish  any

    32  any drug class or drug afforded to a recipient under any other provision
    33  of law.
    34    (vii) The department shall publish a  statewide  formulary  of  opioid
    35  dependence  agents  and  opioid  antagonists,  which  shall  include  as
    36  "preferred drugs" all drugs in such classes,  which  shall  include  all
    37  subclasses  of  a given drug that have a different pharmacological route
    38  of administration, provided that:
    39    (A) for all drugs that are included as of the date of the enactment of
    40  this subparagraph on a formulary of a managed care provider, as  defined
    41  in  section three hundred sixty-four-j of this title, or in the Medicaid
    42  fee-for-service preferred drug program pursuant to section  two  hundred
    43  seventy-two  of  the  public  health law, the cost to the department for
    44  such drug is equal to or less than the lowest cost paid for the drug  by
    45  any  managed  care  provider  or by the Medicaid fee-for-service program
    46  after the application of any rebates, as of the date that the department
    47  implements the statewide formulary  established  by  this  subparagraph.
    48  Where  there  is  a generic version of the drug approved by the Food and
    49  Drug Administration as bioequivalent to a brand name drug pursuant to 21
    50  U.S.C. § 355(j)(8)(B), the cost to the  department  for  the  brand  and
    51  generic  versions  shall  be  equal to or less than the lower of the two
    52  maximum costs determined pursuant to the previous sentence; and
    53    (B) for all drugs that are not included as of the date of  the  enact-
    54  ment  of this subparagraph on a formulary of a managed care provider, as
    55  defined in section three hundred sixty-four-j of this title, or  in  the
    56  Medicaid  fee-for-service preferred drug program pursuant to section two
        S. 7506--B                         210                        A. 9506--B
 
     1  hundred seventy-two of the public health law, the department is able  to
     2  obtain  the drug at a cost that is equal to or less than the lowest cost
     3  to the department of other comparable drugs  in  the  class,  after  the
     4  application of any rebates. Where there is a generic version of the drug
     5  approved by the Food and Drug Administration as bioequivalent to a brand
     6  name  drug pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(8)(B), the cost to the depart-
     7  ment for the brand and generic versions shall be equal to or  less  than
     8  the  lower  of the two maximum costs determined pursuant to the previous
     9  sentence.
    10    (viii) The commissioner may identify and refer  high  cost  drugs,  as
    11  defined  in clause (D) of this subparagraph, that are not included as of
    12  the date of the enactment of this  subparagraph  on  a  formulary  of  a
    13  managed  care  provider  or  covered  by the Medicaid fee for service of
    14  program to the drug utilization  review  board  established  by  section
    15  three  hundred  sixty-nine-bb of this article for a recommendation as to
    16  whether a target supplemental Medicaid rebate  should  be  paid  by  the
    17  manufacturer  of the drug to the department and the target amount of the
    18  rebate.
    19    (A) If the commissioner intends to refer a high cost drug to the  drug
    20  utilization review board pursuant to this subparagraph, the commissioner
    21  shall  notify  the  manufacturer of such drug and shall attempt to reach
    22  agreement with the manufacturer on a rebate arrangement satisfactory  to
    23  the  commissioner  for  the drug prior to referring the drug to the drug
    24  utilization review board for review. Such arrangement may  be  based  on
    25  evidence  based  research,  including, but not limited to, such research
    26  operated or conducted by or for other  state  governments,  the  federal
    27  government,  the governments of other nations, and third party payers or
    28  multi-state coalitions,  provided  however  that  the  department  shall
    29  account for the effectiveness of the drug in treating the conditions for
    30  which  it  is  prescribed or in improving a patient's health, quality of
    31  life, or overall health outcomes, and the likelihood  that  use  of  the
    32  drug will reduce the need for other medical care, including hospitaliza-
    33  tion.
    34    (B)  In  the  event  that  the  commissioner and the manufacturer have
    35  previously agreed to a rebate arrangement for a drug  pursuant  to  this
    36  paragraph, the drug shall not be referred to the drug utilization review
    37  board  for any further rebate agreement for the duration of the previous
    38  rebate agreement, provided however, the commissioner may refer a drug to
    39  the drug utilization review board if the commissioner  determines  there
    40  are  significant  and  substantiated  utilization or market changes, new
    41  evidence-based research, or statutory or federal regulatory changes that
    42  warrant additional rebates. In such cases, the department  shall  notify
    43  the  manufacturer  and  provide evidence of the changes or research that
    44  would warrant additional rebates, and shall attempt to  reach  agreement
    45  with  the  manufacturer  on a rebate for the drug prior to referring the
    46  drug to the drug utilization review board for review.
    47    (C) If the commissioner is unsuccessful  in  entering  into  a  rebate
    48  arrangement  with  the  manufacturer  of  the  drug  satisfactory to the
    49  department, the drug manufacturer shall in that  event  be  required  to
    50  provide to the department, on a standard reporting form developed by the
    51  department,  the  information as described in subdivision six of section
    52  two hundred eighty of the public health law.  All information  disclosed
    53  pursuant  to  this clause shall be considered confidential and shall not
    54  be disclosed by the department in a  form  that  identifies  a  specific
    55  manufacturer or prices charged for drugs by such manufacturer.
        S. 7506--B                         211                        A. 9506--B
 
     1    (D)  For  the purposes of this subparagraph, the term "high cost drug"
     2  shall mean a brand name drug or biologic that  has  a  launch  wholesale
     3  acquisition  cost  of thirty thousand dollars or more per year or course
     4  of treatment, or a biosimilar drug that has a launch wholesale  acquisi-
     5  tion cost that is not at least fifteen percent lower than the referenced
     6  brand biologic at the time the biosimilar is launched, or a generic drug
     7  that has a wholesale acquisition cost of one hundred dollars or more for
     8  a  thirty  day supply or recommended dosage approved for labeling by the
     9  federal Food and Drug Administration, or a brand name drug  or  biologic
    10  that has a wholesale acquisition cost increase of three thousand dollars
    11  or  more in any twelve-month period, or course of treatment if less than
    12  twelve months.
    13    (ix) For purposes of this paragraph, a "gene therapy" is  a  drug  (A)
    14  approved  under  section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act
    15  or licensed under subsection (a) or (k) of section  351  of  the  Public
    16  Health  Services  Act;  (B)  that treats a rare disease or condition, as
    17  defined in 21 USC § 360bb(a)(2), that is life-threatening, as defined in
    18  42 CFR 321.18; (C) is considered a gene therapy by the federal Food  and
    19  Drug  Administration  for  which  a biologics license pursuant to 21 CFR
    20  600-680 is held; (D) if administered in accordance with the labeling  of
    21  such  drug,  is expected to result in either the cure of such disease or
    22  condition or a reduction in the symptoms of such  disease  or  condition
    23  that  materially  improves  the patient's length or quality of life; and
    24  (E) is expected to achieve the result described in clause  (D)  of  this
    25  subparagraph after not more than three administrations.

    27  health law, as added by section 10 of part C of chapter 58 of  the  laws
    28  of  2005,  is  amended  and  a  new  paragraph (a-1) is added to read as

    33  to  subparagraph  (vii) of paragraph (e) of subdivision seven of section
    34  three hundred sixty-seven-a of the social services law,  the  prescriber
