        Introduced  by M. of A. GOTTFRIED, PAULIN, GALEF, COLTON, CAHILL, ENGLE-
          BRIGHT, ABINANTI, HYNDMAN, STECK -- Multi-Sponsored by  --  M.  of  A.

        AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to remedies available
          in private actions by patients of residential health care facilities
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision 4 of section 2801-d of the public health law,
     2  as amended by chapter 61 of the laws of  2009,  is  amended  and  a  new
     3  subdivision 4-a is added to read as follows:
     4    4. Any damages recoverable pursuant to this section, including minimum
     5  damages as provided by subdivision two of this section, may be recovered
     6  in  any  action  which  a  court  may authorize to be brought as a class
     7  action pursuant to article nine of the civil practice law and rules. The
     8  remedies provided in this section are in addition to and cumulative with
     9  any other remedies available to a patient, the patient's legal represen-
    10  tative, or the patient's estate at law or in equity or by administrative
    11  proceedings, including tort causes of action, and may be granted regard-
    12  less of whether such other remedies  are  available  or  are  sought.  A
    13  violation  of  subdivision three of section twenty-eight hundred three-c
    14  of this article is not a prerequisite for a claim  under  this  section.
    15  Exhaustion  of  any  available  administrative  remedies  shall  not  be
    16  required prior to commencement of suit hereunder.
    17    4-a. Under this section, any action  that  may  be  brought,  and  any
    18  relief  that  may  be  sought  or  received,  may  be brought, sought or
    19  received in an appropriate case by the patient's legal representative or
    20  the patient's estate.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and apply to  any  actions
    22  filed on and after such effective date.
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
