AN ACT to amend the elder law,  in  relation  to  authorizing  a  pooled
  purchasing program for certain services and commodities

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

  Section 1. Subdivision 8 of section 203 of the elder law, as added  by
chapter  48  of the laws of 2007, is amended and a new subdivision 10 is

AND COMMODITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT  LIMITED  TO,  LIABILITY  AND  MOTOR
VEHICLE  INSURANCE, AS SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE OFFICE AFTER CONSULTA-
TION WITH THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE AGING AND  OTHERS.  THE  OFFICE
