                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                      May 24, 2020
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  COMMITTEE  ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Aubry) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Health
 
        AN ACT to require the department of health to conduct  a  study  on  the
          health impacts of COVID-19 on minorities in New York state
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. 1. The department of health shall conduct a  study  on  the
     2  differential  health  impacts  of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on
     3  racial and ethnic minorities in New York state. The purpose of the study
     4  shall be to:
     5    (a) identify COVID-19  statewide  and  regional  rates  of  infection,
     6  hospitalization,  recovery  and  mortality  and  any  racial  and ethnic
     7  disparities in such rates, and the potential medical, environmental, and
     8  system-related factors that may have contributed to such disparities;
     9    (b) review the extent  to  which  racial  and  ethnic  disparities  in
    10  COVID-19  infection,  hospitalization, recovery and mortality rates in a
    11  geographic area indicate the need to  increase  access  to  health  care
    12  services and availability of disparity mitigation and prevention strate-
    13  gies in that area; and
    14    (c) identify ways to reduce or eliminate racial and ethnic disparities
    15  that contributed to such disparities in COVID-19 infection, hospitaliza-
    16  tion, recovery and mortality rates.
    17    2.  Within  one year after the effective date of this act, the depart-
    18  ment of health shall prepare and submit to the governor,  the  temporary
    19  president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority lead-
    20  er  of  the  senate  and  the  minority  leader of the assembly a report
    21  containing  the  study's  findings  concerning  the  rates  of  COVID-19
    22  infection,  hospitalization,  recovery  and mortality and any racial and
    23  ethnic disparities in such rates and recommendations for legislative  or
    24  other  actions  that can be undertaken to reduce or eliminate racial and
    25  ethnic disparities and increase  access  to  health  care  services  and
    26  disparity mitigation and prevention strategies in the state.
    27    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
