BILL NUMBER: S2130 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the social services law, in relation to submission of evidence at fair hearings PURPOSE : To permit social services districts to present evidentiary packages in electronic format at fair hearings, and to provide that persons entitled to an appeal to the department could request evidentiary packages in paper format either before or at the hearing. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section. 1. Amends Social Services Law § 22 to permit social services districts to present evidentiary packages in electronic, rather than paper, format at fair hearings conducted pursuant to such section.

The bill further provides that persons entitled to an appeal to the department could request evidentiary packages in paper format either before or at the hearing, subject to regulations of the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance ("OTDA"), Section 2. Effective date.
