BILL NUMBER:S3044 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to the definition of autism PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To insert into the mental hygiene law a definition of autism and other autism spectrum disorders. The definition is the currently generally accepted definition as set forth in the Amer- ican Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends Section 1.03 of the mental hygiene law by adding a new subdivision 59 to define autism to mean a pervasive developmental disor- der that meets the criteria set forth in the subdivision, including Autistic Disorder, Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, Rhett's Disorder and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Section 2 is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: Presently, New York's Mental Hygiene law fails to include a definition of autism and other autism spectrum disorders even though it refers to the terms.
