S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 1857 2015-2016 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y January 13, 2015 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. ENGLEBRIGHT, RIVERA, ROBINSON, COLTON, KAVANAGH, SCHIMEL -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. ABINANTI, ARROYO, GALEF, ORTIZ, PAULIN, PERRY -- read once and referred to the Committee on Children and Families AN ACT to amend the social services law and the environmental conserva- tion law, in relation to integrated pest management procedures in child day care center and head start day care center settings 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 young children, including those in day care and head start centers, are at a disproportionate risk to environmental hazards such as pesticide exposure. Due to their smaller body size, developing organ systems and predilection for hand-to-mouth behaviors, they are exposed to and absorb more toxic substances per pound of body weight than adults. Therefore the legislature finds that special protective measures, like integrated pest management programs, are necessary. S 2. Section 390-a of the social services law is amended by adding five new subdivisions 3-a, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to read as follows: 3-A. THE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES SHALL PROMULGATE REGU- LATIONS REQUIRING OPERATORS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND ASSISTANTS OF CHILD DAY CARE CENTERS AND HEAD START DAY CARE CENTERS TO RECEIVE TWO HOURS OF TRAINING EVERY TWO YEARS, IN ADDITION TO THE TRAINING REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION, ON ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MEASURES, INCLUDING INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION FIFTY OF SECTION 33-0101 OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION LAW AND OTHER METHODS FOR LIMITING EXPOSURE TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES. 6. ALL PROVIDERS OF A CHILD DAY CARE CENTER AS DEFINED IN SECTION THREE HUNDRED NINETY OF THIS TITLE, OR A HEAD START DAY CARE CENTER FUNDED PURSUANT TO TITLE V OF THE FEDERAL OPPORTUNITY ACT OF NINETEEN EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
