AN  ACT  to  amend the social services law, in relation to requiring the

  adult care facilities

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 461-b of the social  services  law  is  amended  by
adding a new subdivision 9 to read as follows:
  9. (A) IF ANY PERSON PLANS TO ESTABLISH ONE OR MORE ADULT CARE FACILI-
TIES  WITHIN A MUNICIPALITY, IT SHALL NOTIFY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
OF THE MUNICIPALITY IN WRITING OF ITS INTENTIONS  AND  INCLUDE  IN  SUCH
NOTICE  A  DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  NATURE,  SIZE AND THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT
REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAM. SUCH PERSON MAY RECOMMEND ONE OR MORE SITES
WHICH MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROGRAM. THE MUNICIPALITY, ACTING  BY
AND  THROUGH  ITS  LEGISLATIVE  BODY,  SHALL  HAVE NINETY DAYS AFTER THE
RECEIPT OF SUCH NOTICE TO CONDUCT AT LEAST ONE PUBLIC HEARING  REGARDING
A  NOTICE  OF  INTENTION  TO ESTABLISH ONE OR MORE ADULT CARE FACILITIES
WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY. UPON CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING OR  HEAR-
INGS,  THE  MUNICIPALITY,  ACTING  BY  AND THROUGH ITS LEGISLATIVE BODY,
SHALL HAVE FORTY DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF SUCH NOTICE TO OBJECT TO  ANY
OF SUCH SITES AS RECOMMENDED, AND MAY PROPOSE AN ALTERNATE SITE OR SITES
WITHIN  ITS  GEOGRAPHICAL  BOUNDARIES  AS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE.   IF THE
MUNICIPALITY DOES NOT RESPOND WITHIN FORTY DAYS, SUCH PERSON MAY  ESTAB-
LISH SUCH A FACILITY AT THE SITE RECOMMENDED IN ITS NOTICE.
  (B) FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, "MUNICIPALITY" MEANS AN INCORPO-
RATED  VILLAGE,  IF  A FACILITY IS TO BE LOCATED THEREIN; A TOWN, IF THE
FACILITY IS TO BE LOCATED THEREIN,  AND  NOT  SIMULTANEOUSLY  WITHIN  AN
INCORPORATED  VILLAGE;  OR  A CITY, EXCEPT THAT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK,
THE COMMUNITY BOARD WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE  AREA  IN  WHICH  SUCH  A
FACILITY IS TO BE LOCATED SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE MUNICIPALITY.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
