BILL NUMBER: S4864 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the social services law, in relation to responsibility for public assistance and care PURPOSE : To provide a fair and consistent method of funding for care or treatment of alcohol or other drug addiction in cases where the recipient of such care or treatment leaves his or her county of residence to receive treatment in another county within the State. JUSTIFICATION : Where a county has elected to provide a full range of treatment for alcohol or drug addiction treatment, and the addicted party seeks such treatment in another county, a payment problem arises for the care of treatment provider. Recipient counties are not overjoyed at the prospect of footing the bill for nonresidents, and payments are delayed or disallowed. This bill would provide that the county of origin would be responsible for the treatment and care of the individual for up to 180 days or the duration of provider services, whichever is the shorter time period.
