GOLDEN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Children and Families AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to directing the office of children and family services and the office of temporary and disa- bility assistance to prepare a report concerning low income custodial parents' requirement to show good cause for a refusal to seek child support as a requirement for receiving family assistance; and provid- ing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that certain parties allege that the office of children and family services' regulations and directives requiring low income custodial parents to actively seek child support from non-custodial parents or show good cause as to why he or she cannot seek child support, as a condition of eligibility for family assistance, constitute such an extreme disincen- tive to many individuals in need of such assistance and as such they fail to pursue needed assistance. The legislature finds that this is a serious allegation, and declares its intent to obtain information as speedily as possible from the state agencies involved in order to take appropriate action. S 2. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 501-i to read as follows: S 501-I. REPORT CONCERNING FAMILY ASSISTANCE AND GOOD CAUSE FOR FAIL- URE TO SEEK CHILD SUPPORT. 1. THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OFFICE OF TEMPORARY AND DISABILITY ASSISTANCE, SHALL SUBMIT A REPORT TO THE TEMPORARY PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, THE SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY, THE CHAIRS OF THE SENATE COMMITTEES ON SOCIAL SERVICES, AND CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND THE CHAIR OF THE ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON CHILDREN AND FAMILIES CONCERNING INFORMATION RELATED TO GOOD CAUSE FOR REFUSAL TO COOPERATE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
