GOLDEN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Finance AN ACT to establish a temporary state commission to study child abuse prevention and make recommendations for the implementation of child abuse prevention programs across the state; and providing 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 acknowledges that child abuse is a continuing societal problem in the state affecting at least 80,000 children each year. In recent years, there has been research on the long-term effects of child abuse on the individual as well as society. The vast majority of research has demonstrated that the consequences of child abuse are grave, damaging and often spill over into a person's adult life. Adverse effects have been identified in maltreated children's physical, cognitive, emotional and social develop- ment. Furthermore, the legislature finds that the failure to address child abuse through preventive measures not only harms a million children each year in this country, it imposes a tremendous cost to society. Like most states, New York spends a considerable amount of fiscal and human resources to treat the numerous consequences of child abuse and maltreatment. The failure to invest in prevention results in a signif- icantly greater amount of resources needed to treat the outcomes. § 2. A temporary state commission, to be known as the "commission of child abuse prevention", is hereby established to examine, evaluate and make recommendations concerning child abuse prevention efforts in the state. The commission shall consider the need for additional legislation as well as a stable source of funding for child abuse prevention programs. Specific issues to be addressed by the commission shall EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
