  certain provisions of such law relating thereto

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

  Section 1. Section 341 of the social services law is REPEALED.
  S 2. Section 341-a of the social services law, as added by chapter 562
of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
  S  [341-a] 341.   Re-engagement; conciliation; refusal to participate.
1. [The provisions of this section shall apply to persons who are  resi-
dents of a city having a population of one million or more people.
  2.] (a) Consistent with federal law and regulations and this title, if
a  participant  has failed or refused to comply with the requirements of
this title and the district has determined that he or she is not  exempt
from  such  requirements  and  has verified that appropriate child care,
transportation, and accommodations for disability were in place  at  the
time  of  such  failure  or  refusal, the social services district shall
issue a re-engagement notice in  plain  language  indicating  that  such
failure  or refusal has taken place and of the right of such participant
to avoid a pro-rata reduction in public assistance benefits through  the
re-engagement  process.  "Re-engagement  process" shall mean the process
through which a participant may avoid a  pro-rata  reduction  in  public
assistance  benefits by agreeing to comply with the requirements of this
title consistent with any medical condition which may limit the individ-
ual's ability to  participate  in  work  activities,  by  notifying  the
district  that he or she has become exempt from the requirements of this
title, or by resolving the reasons for such  failure  or  refusal  at  a
conciliation  conference. The notice shall indicate that the participant
has ten days to request re-engagement  with  the  district.  The  notice
shall  indicate the specific instance or instances of willful refusal or
failure to comply without good cause with the requirements of this title
and the necessary actions  that  must  be  taken  to  avoid  a  pro-rata
