    12  percentage shall be calculated by subtracting the 1996 medicaid  revenue
    13  reduction percentages from the base period medicaid revenue percentages.
    14  The  1996  medicaid  revenue  reduction  percentage, taking into account
    15  regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare
    16  services, for the following regional groups shall be equal to:
    17    (i) one and one-tenth percentage points for CHHAs located  within  the
    18  downstate region;
    19    (ii)  six-tenths  of one percentage point for CHHAs located within the
    20  upstate region;
    21    (iii) one and eight-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located with-
    22  in the downstate region; and
    23    (iv) one and seven-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located within
    24  the upstate region.
    25    (b) For 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,  2005,  2006,  2007,

    28  regional  group,  the target medicaid revenue percentage for the respec-
    29  tive year shall be calculated by subtracting the respective year's medi-
    30  caid revenue reduction percentage from the base period medicaid  revenue
    31  percentage.  The  medicaid revenue reduction percentages for 1997, 1998,
    32  2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010,  2011,

    34  2023, 2024, 2025, 2026  and  2027,  taking  into  account  regional  and
    35  program  differences  in  utilization of medicaid and medicare services,
    36  for the following regional groups shall be equal to for each such year:
    37    (i) one and one-tenth percentage points for CHHAs located  within  the
    38  downstate region;
    39    (ii)  six-tenths  of one percentage point for CHHAs located within the
    40  upstate region;
    41    (iii) one and eight-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located with-
    42  in the downstate region; and
    43    (iv) one and seven-tenths percentage points for LTHHCPs located within
    44  the upstate region.
    45    (c) For each regional group, the 1999 target medicaid revenue percent-
    46  age shall  be  calculated  by  subtracting  the  1999  medicaid  revenue
    47  reduction  percentage  from the base period medicaid revenue percentage.
    48  The 1999 medicaid revenue reduction  percentages,  taking  into  account
    49  regional and program differences in utilization of medicaid and medicare
    50  services, for the following regional groups shall be equal to:
    51    (i)  eight  hundred  twenty-five  thousandths (.825) of one percentage
    52  point for CHHAs located within the downstate region;
    53    (ii) forty-five hundredths (.45) of one  percentage  point  for  CHHAs
    54  located within the upstate region;
    55    (iii)  one  and  thirty-five  hundredths  percentage points (1.35) for
    56  LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and
        S. 4007--C                         14                         A. 3007--C

     1    (iv) one and two hundred seventy-five  thousandths  percentage  points
     2  (1.275) for LTHHCPs located within the upstate region.
     3    5.  (a) For each regional group, if the 1996 medicaid revenue percent-
     4  age is not equal to or  less  than  the  1996  target  medicaid  revenue
     5  percentage,  the  commissioner of health shall compare the 1996 medicaid
     6  revenue percentage to the 1996 target  medicaid  revenue  percentage  to
     7  determine  the  amount  of the shortfall which, when divided by the 1996
     8  medicaid  revenue  reduction  percentage,  shall  be  called  the   1996
     9  reduction  factor.  These  amounts, expressed as a percentage, shall not
    10  exceed one hundred percent. If the 1996 medicaid revenue  percentage  is
    11  equal  to  or less than the 1996 target medicaid revenue percentage, the
    12  1996 reduction factor shall be zero.
    13    (b) For 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,  2004,  2005,  2006,

    15  2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 [and], 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, for  each
    16  regional  group,  if  the medicaid revenue percentage for the respective
    17  year is not equal to or less than the target medicaid revenue percentage
    18  for such respective year, the commissioner of health shall compare  such
    19  respective  year's medicaid revenue percentage to such respective year's
    20  target medicaid revenue percentage to determine the amount of the short-
    21  fall which, when divided  by  the  respective  year's  medicaid  revenue
    22  reduction  percentage,  shall  be  called  the reduction factor for such
    23  respective year. These amounts, expressed as  a  percentage,  shall  not
    24  exceed  one  hundred  percent.  If the medicaid revenue percentage for a
    25  particular year is equal to or less than  the  target  medicaid  revenue
    26  percentage  for  that  year, the reduction factor for that year shall be
    27  zero.
    28    6. (a) For each regional group, the 1996  reduction  factor  shall  be
    29  multiplied  by  the following amounts to determine each regional group's
    30  applicable 1996 state share reduction amount:
    31    (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
    32  CHHAs located within the downstate region;
    33    (ii) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for CHHAs located
    34  within the upstate region;
    35    (iii) one million two hundred seventy  thousand  dollars  ($1,270,000)
    36  for LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and
    37    (iv)  five  hundred  ninety  thousand  dollars  ($590,000) for LTHHCPs
    38  located within the upstate region.
    39    For each regional group reduction, if the 1996 reduction factor  shall
    40  be zero, there shall be no 1996 state share reduction amount.
    41    (b)  For  1997,  1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007,

    44  regional group, the reduction factor for the respective  year  shall  be
    45  multiplied  by  the following amounts to determine each regional group's
    46  applicable state share reduction amount for such respective year:
    47    (i) two million three hundred ninety thousand dollars ($2,390,000) for
    48  CHHAs located within the downstate region;
    49    (ii) seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) for CHHAs located
    50  within the upstate region;
    51    (iii) one million two hundred seventy  thousand  dollars  ($1,270,000)
    52  for LTHHCPs located within the downstate region; and
    53    (iv)  five  hundred  ninety  thousand  dollars  ($590,000) for LTHHCPs
    54  located within the upstate region.
        S. 4007--C                         15                         A. 3007--C
 
     1    For each regional group reduction,  if  the  reduction  factor  for  a
     2  particular  year  shall be zero, there shall be no state share reduction
     3  amount for such year.
     4    (c) For each regional group, the 1999 reduction factor shall be multi-
     5  plied by the following amounts to determine each regional group's appli-
     6  cable 1999 state share reduction amount:
     7    (i) one million seven hundred ninety-two thousand five hundred dollars
     8  ($1,792,500) for CHHAs located within the downstate region;

    14  for LTHHCPs located within the upstate region.
    15    For each regional group reduction, if the 1999 reduction factor  shall
    16  be zero, there shall be no 1999 state share reduction amount.
    17    7.  (a) For each regional group, the 1996 state share reduction amount
    18  shall be allocated by the commissioner of health among CHHAs and LTHHCPs
    19  on the basis of the extent  of  each  CHHA's  and  LTHHCP's  failure  to
    20  achieve  the  1996  target  medicaid revenue percentage, calculated on a
    21  provider specific basis utilizing revenues for this  purpose,  expressed
    22  as  a  proportion  of  the  total of each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to
    23  achieve the 1996 target medicaid revenue percentage within the  applica-
    24  ble  regional group. This proportion shall be multiplied by the applica-
    25  ble 1996 state share reduction amount calculation pursuant to  paragraph
    26  (a)  of  subdivision  6 of this section. This amount shall be called the
    27  1996 provider specific state share reduction amount.
    28    (b) For 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003,  2004,  2005,  2006,

    31  regional group, the state share reduction amount for the respective year
    32  shall be allocated by the commissioner of health among CHHAs and LTHHCPs
    33  on  the  basis  of  the  extent  of  each CHHA's and LTHHCP's failure to
    34  achieve the target medicaid revenue percentage for the applicable  year,
    35  calculated  on  a  provider  specific  basis utilizing revenues for this
    36  purpose, expressed as a proportion of  the  total  of  each  CHHA's  and
    37  LTHHCP's  failure  to achieve the target medicaid revenue percentage for
    38  the applicable year within the applicable regional group.  This  propor-
    39  tion  shall be multiplied by the applicable year's state share reduction
    40  amount calculation pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of subdivision 6  of
    41  this  section.  This  amount shall be called the provider specific state
    42  share reduction amount for the applicable year.
    43    8. (a) The 1996 provider specific state share reduction  amount  shall
    44  be due to the state from each CHHA and LTHHCP and may be recouped by the
    45  state  by  March  31, 1997 in a lump sum amount or amounts from payments
    46  due to the CHHA and LTHHCP pursuant to title 11  of  article  5  of  the
    47  social services law.

    35  train  residents  and  fellows  in  biomedical  research skills based on
    36  hospital-specific data submitted to the commissioner  by  consortia  and
    37  teaching general hospitals in accordance with clause (G) of this subpar-
    38  agraph.  Such distributions shall be made in accordance with the follow-
    39  ing methodology:
    40    (A) The greatest number of clinical research  positions  for  which  a
    41  consortium  or  teaching general hospital may be funded pursuant to this
    42  subparagraph shall be one percent  of  the  total  number  of  residents
    43  training  at  the consortium or teaching general hospital on July first,
    44  two thousand eight for the  period  January  first,  two  thousand  nine
    45  through December thirty-first, two thousand nine rounded up to the near-
    46  est one position.
    47    (B)  Distributions  made  to a consortium or teaching general hospital
    48  shall equal the product of the total number of clinical  research  posi-
    49  tions  submitted  by  a  consortium  or  teaching  general  hospital and
    50  accepted by the commissioner as meeting the criteria set forth in  para-
    51  graph  (b)  of subdivision one of this section, subject to the reduction
    52  calculation set forth in clause (C)  of  this  subparagraph,  times  one
    53  hundred ten thousand dollars.
    54    (C)  If  the  dollar  amount for the total number of clinical research
    55  positions in the region  calculated  pursuant  to  clause  (B)  of  this

     3  nate  one-half  of  the  clinical  research  positions submitted by each
     4  consortium  or teaching general hospital rounded down to the nearest one
     5  position. Such reduction shall be repeated until the dollar  amount  for
     6  the  total  number of clinical research positions in the region does not
     7  exceed the total amount appropriated for purposes of this paragraph.  If
     8  the  repeated  reduction  of the total number of clinical research posi-
     9  tions in the region by one-half does not render a total  funding  amount
    10  that  is equal to or less than the total amount reserved for that region
    11  within the appropriation, the funding for each clinical  research  posi-
    12  tion  in  that  region  shall  be reduced proportionally in one thousand
    13  dollar increments until the total dollar amount for the total number  of
    14  clinical  research  positions  in  that region does not exceed the total
    15  amount reserved for that region within the appropriation. Any  reduction
    16  in  funding will be effective for the duration of the award. No clinical
    17  research positions that continue from and were funded in prior  distrib-
    18  ution periods shall be eliminated or reduced by such methodology.

    45  malpractice  for the periods commencing July 1, 1985 and ending June 30,
    46  [2023] 2024; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision
    47  of law, the superintendent shall not establish or approve  any  increase
    48  in  rates  for  the  period  commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
    49  2010. The superintendent shall direct insurers to  establish  segregated
    50  accounts  for premiums, payments, reserves and investment income attrib-
    51  utable to such premium periods and shall require periodic reports by the
    52  insurers regarding claims and expenses attributable to such  periods  to
    53  monitor whether such accounts will be sufficient to meet incurred claims
    54  and  expenses. On or after July 1, 1989, the superintendent shall impose
    55  a surcharge on premiums  to  satisfy  a  projected  deficiency  that  is
    56  attributable  to the premium levels established pursuant to this section
        S. 4007--C                         102                        A. 3007--C
 
     1  for such periods; provided, however, that such  annual  surcharge  shall
     2  not  exceed  eight  percent of the established rate until July 1, [2023]
     3  2024, at which time and thereafter such surcharge shall not exceed twen-
     4  ty-five  percent  of  the  approved  adequate rate, and that such annual
     5  surcharges shall continue for such period of time as shall be sufficient
     6  to satisfy such deficiency. The superintendent  shall  not  impose  such
     7  surcharge  during the period commencing July 1, 2009 and ending June 30,
     8  2010. On and after July  1,  1989,  the  surcharge  prescribed  by  this
     9  section  shall  be  retained by insurers to the extent that they insured
    10  physicians and surgeons during the July 1, 1985 through June 30,  [2023]
    11  2024  policy  periods;  in  the  event  and to the extent physicians and
    12  surgeons were insured by another insurer during such periods, all  or  a
    13  pro  rata  share of the surcharge, as the case may be, shall be remitted
    14  to such other insurer in accordance with rules  and  regulations  to  be
    15  promulgated by the superintendent.  Surcharges collected from physicians
    16  and  surgeons  who  were not insured during such policy periods shall be
    17  apportioned among all insurers in proportion to the premium  written  by
    18  each  insurer  during such policy periods; if a physician or surgeon was
    19  insured by an insurer subject to rates established by the superintendent
    20  during such policy periods, and  at  any  time  thereafter  a  hospital,
    21  health  maintenance organization, employer or institution is responsible
    22  for responding in damages for liability arising out of such  physician's
    23  or  surgeon's  practice  of medicine, such responsible entity shall also
    24  remit to such prior insurer the equivalent amount  that  would  then  be
    25  collected  as  a  surcharge if the physician or surgeon had continued to
    26  remain insured by such prior insurer. In  the  event  any  insurer  that
    27  provided  coverage  during  such  policy  periods is in liquidation, the
    28  property/casualty insurance security fund shall receive the  portion  of
    29  surcharges to which the insurer in liquidation would have been entitled.
    30  The surcharges authorized herein shall be deemed to be income earned for
    31  the  purposes of section 2303 of the insurance law.  The superintendent,
    32  in establishing adequate rates and in determining  any  projected  defi-
    33  ciency  pursuant  to  the requirements of this section and the insurance
    34  law, shall give substantial weight, determined  in  his  discretion  and
    35  judgment,  to  the  prospective  anticipated  effect  of any regulations
    36  promulgated and laws enacted and the  public  benefit  of    stabilizing
    37  malpractice rates and minimizing rate level fluctuation during the peri-
    38  od  of  time  necessary for the development of more reliable statistical
    39  experience as to the efficacy of such  laws  and  regulations  affecting
    40  medical, dental or podiatric malpractice enacted or promulgated in 1985,
    41  1986,  by this act and at any other time.  Notwithstanding any provision
    42  of the insurance law, rates already established and to be established by
    43  the superintendent pursuant to this section are deemed adequate if  such
    44  rates  would be adequate when taken together with the maximum authorized
    45  annual surcharges to be imposed for a reasonable period of time  whether
    46  or  not  any  such  annual surcharge has been actually imposed as of the
    47  establishment of such rates.

    37    Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 12 of section 203 of the elder
    38  law, as added by section 1 of part U of chapter 57 of the laws of  2019,
    39  is amended to read as follows:
    40    (a)  The director is hereby authorized to implement private pay proto-
    41  cols for programs and services administered by the office. These  proto-
    42  cols  may  be  implemented by area agencies on aging at their option and
    43  such protocols shall not be applied to services for a  participant  when
    44  being  paid for with federal funds or funds designated as federal match,
    45  or for individuals with an income below [four]  two  hundred  and  fifty
    46  percent  of  the  federal  poverty  level. All private payments received
    47  directly by an area agency on aging or indirectly by one of its contrac-
    48  tors shall be used to supplement, not supplant, funds by state, federal,
    49  or county appropriations. Such private pay payments shall be  set  at  a
    50  cost to the participant of not more than twenty percent above either the
    51  unit  cost to the area agency on aging to provide the program or service
    52  directly, or the amount that the  area  agency  on  aging  pays  to  its
    53  contractor  to  provide  the  program  or  service. Private pay payments
    54  received under this subdivision shall be used  by  the  area  agency  on
        S. 4007--C                         105                        A. 3007--C
 
     1  aging to first reduce any unmet need for programs and services, and then
     2  to  support and enhance services or programs provided by the area agency
     3  on aging. No participant, regardless of income, shall be required to pay
     4  for  any  program  or  service that they are receiving at the time these
     5  protocols are implemented by the area agency on aging. This  subdivision
     6  shall not prevent cost sharing for the programs and services established
     7  pursuant  to section two hundred fourteen of this title [for individuals
     8  below four hundred percent of the  federal  poverty  level].  Consistent
     9  with  federal and state statute and regulations, when providing programs
    10  and services, area agencies on aging and their contractors shall contin-
    11  ue to give priority for programs and services to  individuals  with  the
    12  greatest  economic  or  social  needs. In the event that the capacity to
    13  provide programs and services is limited,  such  programs  and  services
    14  shall  be  provided to individuals with incomes below [four] two hundred
    15  and fifty percent of the federal poverty level before such programs  and
    16  services are provided to those participating in the private pay protocol
    17  pursuant to this subdivision.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

    30  clinical  review criteria developed by health care plans shall also take
    31  into consideration whether:
    32    (1) the insured's or enrollee's treating network participating provid-
    33  er recommends, based on a written clinical  justification  submitted  to
    34  the  health  care plan, that the service be provided at a hospital-based
    35  outpatient clinic; or
    36    (2) the insured or enrollee has requested a particular network partic-
    37  ipating provider who performs the requested service in a  hospital-based
    38  outpatient  clinic  because  the  insured  or  enrollee  is undergoing a
    39  continuing course  of  treatment  with  the  participating  provider  or
    40  because  the  insured has previously obtained the requested service from
    41  the participating provider, and the provider is not credentialed at  any
    42  free-standing  ambulatory surgical center in the service area and is not
    43  able to be credentialed within ninety days following the  submission  of
    44  the authorization request to the health care plan.

     8  to the commissioner shall include (i) draft communications to the  fore-
     9  going  persons  for purposes of complying with this subdivision and (ii)
    10  an explanation of how the site of service clinical  review  selected  by
    11  the  health  care plan complies with this article and article forty-nine
    12  of the insurance law.
    13    6. A health care plan's provider directory  shall  explain  that  even
    14  though  a  provider  is  participating in the network, a site of service
    15  clinical review may affect where services will need to be  obtained  and
    16  whether  the  provider  will  be  available  to provide such service, as
    17  applicable.
    18    7. A health care plan that has implemented site  of  service  clinical
    19  review  prior  to January first, two thousand twenty-four that is not in
    20  compliance with this section shall revise such site of service  clinical
    21  review  to  comply  with  this  section and deliver the notices required

    23  enrollment   period   for   individual  health  insurance  policies  and
    24  contracts, and for group health insurance policies and contracts,  prior
    25  to January first, two thousand twenty-four.

    27  health care plan shall approve a request for authorization for a service
    28  covered under the policy or contract and requested to be performed by  a
    29  network  participating provider at a hospital-based outpatient clinic in
    30  the following situations:
    31    (a) the procedure cannot be safely performed in a free-standing  ambu-
    32  latory  surgical center due to the insured's or enrollee's health condi-
    33  tion;
    34    (b) there is no free-standing ambulatory surgical center  capacity  in
    35  the insured's or enrollee's geographic area; or
    36    (c) the provision of health care services at a free-standing ambulato-
    37  ry surgical center would result in undue delay.
    38    9.  Starting  January first, two thousand twenty-four, site of service
    39  clinical review criteria developed by health care plans shall also  take
    40  into consideration whether:
    41    (a) the insured's or enrollee's treating network participating provid-
    42  er  recommends,  based  on a written clinical justification submitted to
    43  the health care plan, that the service be provided at  a  hospital-based
    44  outpatient clinic; or
    45    (b) the insured or enrollee has requested a particular network partic-
    46  ipating  provider who performs the requested service in a hospital-based
    47  outpatient clinic because  the  insured  or  enrollee  is  undergoing  a
    48  continuing  course  of  treatment  with  the  participating  provider or
    49  because the insured has previously obtained the requested  service  from
    50  the  participating provider, and the provider is not credentialed at any
    51  free-standing ambulatory surgical center in the service area and is  not
    52  able  to  be credentialed within ninety days following the submission of
    53  the authorization request to the health care plan.
    54    § 3. This act shall take effect June 1, 2023.

    16    Section 1. Section 366 of the social services law is amended by adding
    17  a new subdivision 16 to read as follows:
    18    16. (a) The commissioner of health is authorized to submit the  appro-
    19  priate  waivers and/or any other required requests for federal approval,
    20  including but not limited to, those authorized in section eleven hundred
    21  fifteen of the federal  social  security  act,  in  order  to  establish
    22  expanded  medical  assistance  eligibility for working disabled individ-
    23  uals. Such waiver applications shall be executed consistent  with  para-
    24  graphs  (b),  (c),  (d) and (e) of this subdivision, to the extent those
    25  sections comply with the requirements of section eleven hundred  fifteen
    26  of  the federal social security act.  Notwithstanding subparagraphs five
    27  and six of paragraph (c) of subdivision one of this section and subdivi-
    28  sion twelve of section three hundred sixty-seven-a of this title, or any
    29  other provision of law to the contrary,  if  granted  such  waiver,  the
    30  commissioner of health may authorize eligible persons to receive medical
    31  assistance  pursuant to the waiver if, for so long as, and to the extent
    32  that, financial participation is available therefor. The waiver applica-
    33  tion shall provide for thirty thousand persons to be eligible to partic-
    34  ipate in such waiver.
    35    (b) Individuals eligible for participation in such waiver shall:
    36    (i) be a disabled individual, defined as having a medically determina-
    37  ble impairment of sufficient severity and duration to qualify for  bene-
    38  fits under Titles II or XVI of the social security act;
    39    (ii) be at least sixteen years of age;

    42    (iv) have net available income, determined in accordance with subdivi-
    43  sion two of this section, that does not exceed two thousand two  hundred
    44  fifty  percent  of  the  applicable federal poverty line, as defined and
    45  updated by the United States department of health and human services;
    46    (v) have resources, as defined in paragraph (e) of subdivision two  of

    53  sion in an equitable manner.

     1    (c)  An  individual  at  least  sixteen years of age who: is employed;
     2  ceases to be eligible for participation in such waiver pursuant to para-
     3  graph (b) of this subdivision because the person, by reason  of  medical

     5  ing  disability  review  to no longer be certified as disabled under the
     6  social security act; continues to have a severe  medically  determinable
     7  impairment, to be determined in accordance with applicable federal regu-
     8  lations;  and  contributes  to  the  cost of medical assistance provided

    12  person is earning at least the applicable minimum wage under section six
    13  of the federal fair labor standards act and working at least forty hours
    14  per month.
    15    (d) Prior to receiving medical assistance pursuant to such  waiver,  a
    16  person  whose  net  available  income  is  greater  than or equal to two
    17  hundred fifty percent of the applicable federal poverty line shall pay a
    18  monthly premium, in accordance with a procedure to be established by the
    19  commissioner, provided that no enrollee shall pay a monthly premium that
    20  exceeds exceed eight and one-half  percent  of  the  enrollee's  monthly
    21  income.  The  amount  of  such  premium for a person whose net available
    22  income is greater than or equal to two  hundred  fifty  percent  of  the
    23  applicable  federal poverty line, but less than three hundred percent of
    24  the applicable federal poverty line shall be three  hundred  and  forty-
    25  seven dollars but shall not exceed four percent of the enrollee's month-
    26  ly  income.  The amount of such premium for a person whose net available
    27  income is greater than or equal to three hundred percent of the applica-
    28  ble federal poverty line, but less than  four  hundred  percent  of  the
    29  applicable  federal  poverty line shall be five hundred eighteen dollars
    30  but shall not exceed six percent of the enrollee's monthly income.   The
    31  amount of such premium for a person whose net available income is great-
    32  er  than  or  equal  to  four  hundred percent of the applicable federal
    33  poverty line, but less than  five  hundred  percent  of  the  applicable
    34  federal poverty line shall be seven hundred and seventy-nine dollars but
    35  shall  not  exceed  eight and one-half percent of the enrollee's monthly
    36  income. The amount of such premium for  a  person  whose  net  available
    37  income  is equal to or greater than five hundred percent of the applica-
    38  ble federal poverty line shall be one thousand thirty-three dollars  but
    39  shall  not  exceed  eight and one-half percent of the enrollee's monthly
    40  income. No premium shall be required from a person whose  net  available
    41  income  is less than two hundred fifty percent of the applicable federal
    42  poverty line.
    43    (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section or  any  other
    44  law  to  the  contrary,  for  purposes of determining medical assistance
    45  eligibility for persons specified in paragraph (b) or (c) of this subdi-
    46  vision, the income and resources of responsible relatives shall  not  be
    47  deemed  available for as long as the person meets the criteria specified
    48  in this subdivision.
    49    § 2. This act shall take effect on January 1, 2025.

    50  of housing and community renewal, develop a registry for all residential
    51  dwellings with two or more units built prior to nineteen hundred  eighty
    52  which,  by  virtue  of their property class designation, are potentially
    53  eligible for rental, lease, let or hiring out, and  are  located  within
    54  communities  of  concern  as identified by the department. Such registry
        S. 4007--C                         129                        A. 3007--C
 
     1  shall only include qualifying residential dwellings outside a city  with
     2  a population of one million people or more. The department shall utilize
     3  all available property information to develop the registry including but
     4  not  limited  to  information  from tax assessment rolls and information
     5  from property records in the office in which instruments affecting  real
     6  property in the county are recorded.
     7    2.  The department, or their designee, shall provide written notice to

    26  rectly asserts that they are not  required  to  submit  a  certification
    27  under  this section, the department, or their designee, shall provide an
    28  additional notice prior to taking any further action.

    33                                  SUBPART D
 
    34    Section 1.  Legislative findings.  The legislature finds that it is in
    35  the best interest of the people of this state to expand  article  77  of
    36  the  insurance law to protect insureds and health care providers against
    37  the failure or inability of a health or property/casualty insurer  writ-
    38  ing  health  insurance  to  perform  its  contractual obligations due to
    39  financial impairment or insolvency.   The  superintendent  of  financial
    40  services  has  the right and responsibility to enforce the insurance law
    41  and the authority to seek redress against any person responsible for the
    42  impairment or insolvency of the insurer, and  nothing  in  this  act  is
    43  intended to restrict or limit such right, responsibility, or authority.
    44    § 2.  The article heading of article 77 of the insurance law, as added
    45  by chapter 802 of the laws of 1985, is amended to read as follows:
    46                     THE LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY
    47                            GUARANTY CORPORATION
    48                               OF NEW YORK ACT
    49    § 3. Section 7701 of the insurance law, as added by chapter 802 of the
    50  laws of 1985, is amended to read as follows:
        S. 4007--C                         140                        A. 3007--C
 
     1    §  7701.  Short title. This article shall be known and may be cited as

     4    §  4.  Section 7702 of the insurance law, as amended by chapter 454 of
     5  the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
     6    § 7702. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to  provide  funds  to

     9  insurance  policies,  annuity  contracts, funding agreements and supple-
    10  mental contracts issued by life insurance  companies,  health  insurance
    11  companies, and property/casualty insurance companies, subject to certain
    12  limitations,  against  failure  in  the performance of contractual obli-
    13  gations due to the impairment or insolvency of the insurer issuing  such
    14  policies,  contracts,  or  funding  agreements.  In  the judgment of the
    15  legislature, the foregoing objects and purposes  not  being  capable  of
    16  accomplishment by a corporation created under general laws, the creation
    17  of  a  not-for-profit  corporation  of  insurers is provided for by this
    18  article to enable the guarantee of payment of benefits and of  continua-
    19  tion of coverages, and members of the corporation are subject to assess-
    20  ment to carry out the purposes of this article.
    21    §  5.  Paragraphs  1  and  2  of subsection (a) of section 7703 of the

    23  to read as follows:

    28  life or health insurance or annuities in this  state  at  the  time  the
    29  policy,  contract,  or  funding  agreement  was issued or on the date of
    30  entry of a court order of liquidation or rehabilitation with respect  to
    31  such a company that is an impaired or insolvent insurer, as the case may
    32  be.
    33    (2)  Except  as otherwise provided in this section, this article shall
    34  apply to the policies, contracts, and funding  agreements  specified  in
    35  paragraph one of this subsection with regard to a person who is:
    36    (A)  an owner or certificate holder under a policy, contract, or fund-
    37  ing agreement and in each case who:

    40  following conditions:
    41    (I)  the  insurer  that  issued  the policy, contract, or agreement is
    42  domiciled in this state;
    43    (II) the state or states in which the person resides  has  or  have  a
    44  guaranty entity similar to the corporation created by this article; and

    51  resides; or
    52    (C) a health care provider that has  rendered  services  to  a  person
    53  specified in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.

     7  ration issue insurance policies or contracts or annuity contracts  other
     8  than those issued to perform the contractual obligations of the impaired
     9  or insolvent insurer;
    10    §  10.  Paragraph 2 of subsection (c) of section 7709 of the insurance
    11  law, as added by chapter 802 of the laws of 1985, is amended to read  as
    12  follows:
    13    (2)  The  amount  of  any  class  B  or class C assessment, except for
    14  assessments related to long-term care insurance, shall be allocated  for
    15  assessment purposes among the accounts in the proportion that the premi-
    16  ums  received  by  the  impaired or insolvent insurer on the policies or
    17  contracts covered by each account for the last calendar  year  preceding
    18  the  assessment  in  which  the  impaired  or insolvent insurer received
    19  premiums bears to the premiums received by such insurer for such  calen-
    20  dar  year  on all covered policies. The amount of any class B or class C
    21  assessment for long-term care  insurance  written  by  the  impaired  or
    22  insolvent insurer shall be allocated according to a methodology included
    23  in the plan of operation and approved by the superintendent. The method-
    24  ology  shall provide for fifty percent of the assessment to be allocated
    25  to  health insurance company member insurers and  fifty  percent  to  be
    26  allocated  to life insurance company member insurers; provided, however,
    27  that a property/casualty insurer that writes health insurance  shall  be
    28  considered  a  health insurance company member for this purpose. Class B
    29  and class C assessments against member insurers for each  account  shall
    30  be  in  the  proportion  that  the premiums received on business in this
    31  state by each assessed  member  insurer  on  policies  covered  by  each
    32  account  for  the three calendar years preceding the assessment bears to
    33  such premiums received on business in this state for such calendar years
    34  by all assessed member insurers.
    35    § 11.  Subsection (a) of section 7712 of the insurance law,  as  added

    39  finance  and  the  director of the division of the budget a statement of
    40  operations for the life insurance guaranty corporation and the life  and
    41  health  insurance  company guaranty corporation of New York. Such state-
    42  ment shall show the assessments,  less  any  refunds  or  reimbursements
    43  thereof,  paid  by  each insurance company pursuant to the provisions of
    44  article seventy-five or section seven thousand  seven  hundred  nine  of
    45  this article, for the purposes of meeting the requirements of this chap-
    46  ter.  Each  statement, starting with the statement furnished in the year
    47  nineteen hundred eighty-six and ending with the statement  furnished  in
    48  the  year  two  thousand,  shall show the annual activity for every year
    49  commencing from nineteen hundred eighty-five through the  most  recently
    50  completed year. Each statement furnished in each year after the year two
    51  thousand  shall  reflect  such  assessments  paid  during  the preceding
    52  fifteen calendar years. The superintendent shall also furnish a copy  of
    53  such statement to each such insurance company.
    54    §  12.   Subsections (a), (d) and (g) of section 7719 of the insurance
    55  law, as added by chapter 454 of the laws of 2014, are amended to read as
    56  follows:
        S. 4007--C                         144                        A. 3007--C
 
     1    (a) The corporation may incorporate one or more not-for-profit  corpo-
     2  rations,  known  as a resolution facility, in connection with the liqui-
     3  dation of an insolvent domestic life insurance company, health insurance
     4  company, or property/casualty insurance company under  article  seventy-
     5  four  of  this chapter for the purpose of administering and disposing of
     6  the business of the insolvent [domestic life] insurance company.
     7    (d) A resolution facility may:
     8    (1) guarantee,  assume,  or  reinsure,  or  cause  to  be  guaranteed,
     9  assumed,  or reinsured, the covered policies, or arrange for replacement
    10  by policies found by the superintendent to be substantially  similar  to
    11  the covered policies;
    12    (2)  exercise,  for  the  purposes  of  this article and to the extent
    13  approved by the superintendent, the powers of a domestic life  insurance
    14  company, health insurance company, or property/casualty insurance compa-
    15  ny  but in no case may the resolution facility issue insurance policies,
    16  annuity contracts, funding agreements, or supplemental  contracts  other
    17  than those issued to perform the contractual obligations of the impaired
    18  or insolvent insurer;
    19    (3)  assure  payment  of  the contractual obligations of the insolvent
    20  insurer; and
    21    (4) provide such moneys, pledges, notes, guarantees, or other means as
    22  are reasonably necessary to discharge its duties.
    23    (g) (1) If the superintendent determines that the resolution  facility
    24  is  not  administering  and  disposing  of  the business of an insolvent
    25  domestic  life  insurance  company,   health   insurance   company,   or
    26  property/casualty  insurance  company  consistent  with  the  resolution
    27  facility's certificate of incorporation,  plan  of  operation,  or  this
    28  section,  then the superintendent shall provide notice to the resolution
    29  facility and the resolution facility shall have thirty days  to  respond
    30  to the superintendent and cure the defect.
    31    (2)  If,  after  thirty  days, the superintendent continues to believe
    32  that the resolution facility is not administering and disposing  of  the
    33  business  of an insolvent domestic life insurance company, health insur-
    34  ance company, or property/casualty insurance company consistent with the
    35  resolution facility's certificate of incorporation, plan  of  operation,
    36  or  this  section, then the superintendent may apply to the court for an
    37  order directing the resolution facility to correct the  defect  or  take
    38  other appropriate actions.
    39    §  13.  The  insurance  law is amended by adding a new section 7720 to
    40  read as follows:
    41    § 7720. Penalties. (a) If any member insurer fails to make any payment
    42  required by this article, or if the superintendent has cause to  believe
    43  that any other statement filed is false or inaccurate in any particular,
    44  or  that  any  payment made is incorrect, the superintendent may examine
    45  all the books and records of the member insurer to ascertain  the  facts
    46  and  determine the correct amount to be paid. Based on such finding, the
    47  corporation may proceed  in  any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  to
    48  recover  for  the benefit of the fund any sums shown to be due upon such
    49  examination and determination.
    50    (b) Any member insurer that fails to make any such required statement,
    51  or to make any payment to the fund when due, shall forfeit to the corpo-
    52  ration for deposit in the fund a penalty of five percent of  the  amount
    53  determined  to  be due plus one percent of such amount for each month of
    54  delay, or fraction thereof, after the expiration of the first  month  of
    55  such  delay.  If satisfied that the delay was excusable, the corporation
    56  may remit all or any part of the penalty.
        S. 4007--C                         145                        A. 3007--C
 
     1    (c) The superintendent, in the superintendent's discretion, may revoke
     2  the certificate of authority to do business in this state of any foreign
     3  member insurer that fails to comply with this  article  or  to  pay  any
     4  penalty imposed hereunder.
     5    §  14.  The  insurance  law is amended by adding a new section 3245 to
     6  read as follows:
     7    § 3245. Liability to providers in the event of an insolvency.  In  the
     8  event  an  insurance  company  authorized  to  do an accident and health
     9  insurance business in this state is deemed  insolvent,  as  provided  in
    10  section  one  thousand  three  hundred  nine of this chapter, no insured
    11  covered under a policy delivered or issued for delivery in this state by
    12  the insurance company shall be liable to any  provider  of  health  care
    13  services for any covered services of the insolvent insurance company. No
    14  provider  of health care services or any representative of such provider
    15  shall collect or attempt to collect from the insured sums owed  by  such
    16  insurance  company,  and  no provider or representative of such provider
    17  may maintain any action at law against an insured to collect  sums  owed
    18  to such provider by such insurance company.
    19    § 14-a. The superintendent of financial services, in consultation with
    20  the  director  of the budget and other appropriate agencies as appropri-
    21  ate, shall be authorized and required to develop  an  assessment  offset
    22  plan  to limit the impact of the assessments imposed pursuant to section
    23  7709 of the insurance law on not-for-profit member insurers. Such offset
    24  shall be comparable, to the extent possible, to the tax credit available
    25  to for-profit member insurers. The plan shall consider  tax,  assessment
    26  or  other  credits or financial benefits to offset such assessments in a
    27  manner that has a comparable impact as the  tax  credits  applicable  to
    28  for-profit  insurers;  the feasibility of a cap or limit on premium rate
    29  increases, cost-sharing requirements, or any other surcharges passed  on
    30  to  policyholders due to the assessments pursuant to section 7709 of the
    31  insurance law; and any other mechanism that minimizes the costs to poli-
    32  cyholders while addressing the need to provide relief to  not-for-profit
    33  member  insurers  subject to article 77 of the insurance law. The super-
    34  intendent of financial services shall transmit the written plan  to  the
    35  governor,  the temporary president of the senate, and the speaker of the
    36  assembly by January 15, 2024,  and  the  superintendent  may  promulgate
    37  regulations  to  implement such plan for not-for-profit member insurers.
    38  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Life  and  Health  Insurance  Company
    39  Guaranty  Corporation  of  New  York shall not impose any assessments on
    40  not-for-profit member insurers pursuant to article 77 of  the  insurance
    41  law until the offset plan has been implemented.
    42    §  15.  This  act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to
    43  have been in full force and effect on and after April 1, 2023; provided,
    44  however, that the amendments made by this act shall  not  apply  to  the
    45  estate  of  an insurer for which a court entered a final order of liqui-
    46  dation prior to the effective date of this act.
    47    § 2. Severability clause. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivi-
    48  sion, section or part of this act shall be  adjudged  by  any  court  of
    49  competent  jurisdiction  to  be invalid, such judgment shall not affect,
    50  impair, or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall  be  confined  in
    51  its  operation  to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, section
    52  or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
    53  ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
    54  the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such
    55  invalid provisions had not been included herein.
        S. 4007--C                         146                        A. 3007--C
 
     1    §  3.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
     2  the applicable effective date of Subparts A through D of this act  shall
     3  be as specifically set forth in the last section of such Subparts.

    24  follows:
    25    (g) The commissioner may impose a [fine] civil penalty upon a  finding
    26  that  the  holder of the certificate has failed to comply with the terms
    27  of the operating certificate or with the provisions  of  any  applicable
    28  statute,  rule  or regulation.   The maximum amount of such [fine] civil
    29  penalty imposed thereunder shall not exceed [one] two  thousand  dollars
    30  per  day  or  [fifteen]  twenty-five  thousand  dollars,  per violation.
    31  Penalties may be considered at the individual bed level for beds  closed
    32  without authorization at inpatient settings.
    33    Such  civil  penalty  may  be  recovered  by  an action brought by the
    34  commissioner in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    35    Such civil penalty may be released or compromised by the  commissioner
    36  before  the  matter  has been referred to the attorney general. Any such
    37  civil penalty may be released or compromised and any action commenced to
    38  recover the same may be settled or discontinued by the attorney  general
    39  with the consent of the commissioner.
    40    1. Such civil penalty under this subdivision shall account for factors
    41  which  shall  include:  (i)  any officially declared national, state, or
    42  municipal  emergency;  (ii)    any    unforeseen    disaster  or   other
    43  catastrophic event that directly impacts access to health care services;
    44  (iii)  the frequency, duration, scope, and nature of non-compliance; and
    45  (iv) any other factors as established by the commissioner.

    47  violated its obligation to  comply  with  the  terms  of  the  operating
    48  certificate,  it  shall not be a defense that the operator was unable to
    49  secure proper staff  or  other necessary resources if the lack of  staff
    50  or  other  resources was foreseeable   and  could  be  prudently planned
    51  for or involved routine staffing needs that arose due to typical  staff-
    52  ing patterns,  typical  levels  of absenteeism,  and  time off typically
    53  approved  by  the  operator  for  vacation,  holidays,  sick  leave, and
    54  personal leave.

     7  mental disabilities the independent developmental  disability  ombudsman
     8  program  for  the  purpose  of  assisting individuals with developmental

    12  complaints  that  are  made  by, or on behalf of individuals relative to
    13  access to services provided by the office for people with  developmental

    30  of the office for people with developmental disabilities holds a request

    34  proposals submitted through such request for proposal process and  shall
    35  determine  which proposal submitted is appropriate for the establishment

    38  advocacy or assistance to people  with  developmental  disabilities,  or
    39  experience  tracking  and  reporting on case activities while protecting
