2015-S3272 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S3272

TITLE OF BILL:

An  act to direct the New York state department of health to conduct a
study on the incidences of asthma in cities having a population of one
hundred thousand or more and to prepare a report

PURPOSE:

To require the New York State Department of Health to conduct a  study
on the incidences of asthma in cities having a population over 100,000
people. The study should be completed by September 20, 2015.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

§ 1. The commissioner of the New York State Department of Health shall
prepare  a  study  of  the incidences of asthma in all cities having a
population of one hundred thousand or more. The study and report shall
include a map of each city indicating incidents of asthma.

§ 2. The study shall be completed by September 30, 2017.

§ 3 Once the study is completed, the study and an interactive  map  of
each  city  indicating  incidents  of  asthma  shall  be placed on the
department's website.

§ 4. This act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:

The Mayo Clinic defines Asthma as a "condition in which  your  airways
narrow  and  swell  and  produce  extra mucus. This can make breathing
difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath." The
Mayo Clinic further states,  "For  some  people,  asthma  is  a  minor
nuisance.  For  others, it can be a major problem that interferes with
daily activities and may lead to a life-threatening asthma attack."

Asthma rates have been surging in the United States for many years. On
October 12, 2013 The New York Times reported that Asthma affects about
40 million Americans making it the most common  chronic  disease  that
affects Americans of all ages. The New York Times further stated that,
"The  Centers  for Disease Control and Prevention puts the annual cost
of asthma in the United States at more  than  $56  billion,  including
millions  of potentially avoidable hospital visits and more than 3,300
deaths..."

Asthma rates tend to be higher in urban areas with clusters in  poorer
neighborhoods.  This  bill  will  require  the Department of Health to
research the depth of the Asthma  crisis  in  New  York's  cities  and
pinpoint the areas of Asthma clusters.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:


Minimal cost to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediately.
