S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6659 I N S E N A T E February 25, 2014 ___________ Introduced by Sen. CARLUCCI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Mental Health and Develop- mental Disabilities AN ACT to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to establishing the task force on adults with intellectual disabilities; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that intellec- tual disabilities is a lifelong disability, yet much of the focus on intellectual disabilities relates to education and development, and neglects concerns that may arise later in a person's life. The legisla- ture also finds that adults with intellectual disabilities may face significant challenges in various aspects of their lives, including such areas as job placement, housing and long-term care. Consequently, the legislature finds that there is a pressing need for policymakers and advocates in the state to formulate achievable goals for state govern- ment to meet in order to better serve the community of adults with intellectual disabilities. To this end, it is in the public interest to establish a task force on adults with intellectual disabilities to develop a comprehensive plan for meeting the various needs of adults with intellectual disabilities living in New York. S 2. The mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new section 13.41 to read as follows: S 13.41 TASK FORCE ON ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. (A) THERE IS HEREBY ESTABLISHED THE TASK FORCE ON ADULTS WITH INTEL- LECTUAL DISABILITIES IN THE OFFICE. THE PURPOSE OF THE TASK FORCE SHALL BE TO STUDY, EVALUATE AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS RELATING TO SPECIFIC ACTIONABLE MEASURES TO SUPPORT AND MEET THE NEEDS OF ADULTS WITH INTEL- LECTUAL DISABILITIES WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE STATE, INCLUDING SUCH NEEDS AS VOCATIONAL, RESIDENTIAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE TASK FORCE SHALL STUDY THE LONG TERM NEEDS OF ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES WHO HAVE AGING CAREGIVERS. THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE SHALL COMPRISE THE BASIS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR MEETING THE EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
