                                BILL NUMBER:S1588

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend chapter 58 of the laws of 2005, relating to authorizing
reimbursements for expenditures made by or on behalf of social services
districts for medical assistance for needy persons and the
administration thereof, in relation to a five year elimination of the
local share for medicaid

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would
amend chapter 59 of
the laws of 2005, relating to authorizing reimbursements for
expenditures made by or on behalf of social services districts for
medical assistance for needy persons and the administration thereof
in relation to a five year elimination of-the local share for Medicaid.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1. Paragraph
(iv) of
subdivision c of section 1 of part C of chapter 58 of the laws of
2005, relating to authorizing reimbursements for expenditures made by
or on behalf of social services districts for medical assistance for
needy persons, is amended and seven new subdivisions (c1) thru (c8)
are added.

Notwithstanding the Provisions of section 368a of the social services

law, or any other provision of law, commencing with the period
January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, calendar year social
services district medical assistance expenditure amounts for each
social services district shall be reduced by 20% from the 2015
expenditures. No less than 75% of the savings from this medical
assistance reduction shall be used for property tax levy reductions,
or property tax rebates, effective in the local governments 2017
fiscal year.

The five year plan is implemented in increments over the course of
five years where the medical expenditure reduction amounts for each
social services district is increased 20% a year totaling up to 100%
from 20% in 2016 to 100% in 2021.

The minimum amount of annual property tax reductions resulting from
savings achieved as defined in subdivisions (e1) thru (c5) shall be
determined by the state comptroller and transmitted to each local
government one hundred eighty days in advance of the start of the
fiscal year for which the property tax reduction is to be effective.

JUSTIFICATION: In 2011 a series of resolutions and
statements from a
cross section of Western New York local governments along with the
New York State Association of Counties brought forward the issue that
New York's Medicaid program spends in excess of S52 billion dollars a
year, almost 20% of state spending, and that the local share of about

7.3 billion will grow over the next five years by 37%. This figure is
unsustainable to local governments and they are desperate in need of
relief. Increased costs have precipitated a
situation in New York where our population of 19.4 million exceeds the
combined Medicaid expenditures of California with a population of
37.1 million and Texas with a population of 25 million. In Erie
County for example, Medicaid payments total approximately 200 of the
entire Erie County Budget. Increased costs like this illustrate the
need for the state to have a greater role in managing Medicaid and
reducing this mandates burden on localities.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

Relates to teachers' rights; adds other specified personnel to teachers and teaching assistants where the board of cooperative educational services takes over a program.

2011-S1588A (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S1588A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to teachers' rights

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this legislation is to protect the rights of certain
specified school district personnel when a school district takes over
program formerly operated by a Board of cooperative Educational
Service (BOCES) and vice versa.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This legislation amends sections 3014-a and 3014-b of the Education
Law to include "other specified personnel" under the protections of
each section. Sections 3014-a and 3014-b are each amended to include
a new subdivision 6 to define the term "other specified personnel."
The new subdivisions define other specified personnel to mean any
person certified to the state civil service commission by the
commissioner pursuant to section 35(g) of the civil service law
providing instructional, ancillary or supportive educational services
and any licensed health professional who is principally engaged in
providing health services.

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation is in response to years of unnecessary litigation and

judicial holdings surrounding the transfer and recall rights of BOCES
and school district personnel. These amendments are not intended to
reflect a change in the law, but rather are intended as a
clarification that the Legislature did not intend to exclude other
education professionals from the protections of the Education Law.
The legal question revolved around what other professional employees
other than class.room teachers are considered "teachers" for purposes
of being afforded 3014 and 3014-b protections. First, teaching
assistants were excluded (Anderson v. Cortland City School District,
147 Misc. 2d 7 (Sup. Ct., Onondaga Co., 1990), affd 171 AD.2d 10 17
(4th Dep't 1991 , then the concept was expanded to exclude school
psychologists (Fink v. Avon Central School District, 207 AD.2d 973
(4th Dep't 1995), Iv. app. den., 85 N.Y.2d 804 (1995), and lastly,
school counselors and social workers were excluded from the
protections of the statute (North Tonawanda City School District v.
Mills, 263 AD.2d 574 (3rd Dep't 1999), Iv. app.
den., 94 N.Y.2d 751 (1999).

In 1998, the Legislature corrected the problem presented by the
Anderson case and the statutes were amended to extend protections to
teaching
assistants and teacher aides (L.1998, c.511 § 1), however, nothing
further was done to clarify the status of other school professionals.
In fact, in holding that school counselors and social workers were
excluded from the protection of the statutes, the court noted that
"the Legislature's recent amendment of Education Law §3014b to
include 'teaching assistants and teacher aids' reveals that the term
'teacher' has a very narrow meaning as used in the section at issue."
As the legislature never intended the results of these holding this
bill would correct years of litigation where by other BOCES and


school district personnel were excluded from the transfer and recall
rights to which they were entitled. Education Law sections 3014-a and
3014-b should protect other professionals, including, but not limited
to school psychologists, guidance counselors, social workers, other
pupil personnel service providers,
and licensed health professionals, including but not limited to
physical therapists and occupational therapists.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.6272 of 2008 Passed Senate and Assembly in 2009. Vetoed by Governor,
Veto Number 9.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect September 1, 2012.
