   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  The office of children and family services shall examine,
 evaluate and make recommendations concerning  the  availability  of  day
 care  for children in the state. Such office shall pay particular atten-
 tion to the impact of the lack   of necessary child day  care  upon  the
 ability  of  women in poverty and those in working families to enter the
 labor force. The office of children and family services shall direct its
 attention to:
   (a) establishing an inventory of child day care for  working  families
 and those at or near poverty;
   (b)  geographically  identifying  child  day  care shortage areas on a
 regional basis and projections of the future demand for child  day  care
 based  on  the  regional  birth  rates, employment and population growth
 rates;
   (c) comparing on a statewide and regional basis, the demand for  child
 day  care services over the succeeding five years, including whether the
 projected growth rate in the child day care industry will be  sufficient
 to meet such future needs;
   (d)  assessing the cost to parents and guardians of day care for chil-
 dren on a regional basis, including the availability of government funds
 for parents and guardians toward child care costs;
   (e) identifying nontraditional child care needs within the  state  and
 regionally  for  parents  who  work  other than a 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
 shift or part-time, including those  who  work  night  shifts  or  swing
