BILL NUMBER: S7409

SPONSOR: KRUEGER
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public health law, in relation to
maternal depression treatment; and to amend a chapter of the laws of
2017, amending the public health law, relating to maternal depression
treatment, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4000 and A. 8308,
in relation to the effectiveness thereof

 
PURPOSE:

To increase awareness among medical providers and about maternal
depression and provide information to the public on supports and treat-
ment for maternal depression.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 makes conforming amendments to chapter 463 of the laws of 2017
by requiring the Department of Health and the Office of Mental Health,
to provide information on how to locate providers who offer treatment
and supports for maternal depression. This section also requires the

Department of Health to inform healthcare providers of the need to raise
awareness about maternal depression,

Section 2 makes technical amendments to section 2 of chapter 463 of the
laws of 2017 by providing an effective date of June 30, 2018.

Section 3 provides an immediate effective date, except that section 1
shall take effect on the same date and in the same manner as chapter 463
of the laws of 2017.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Section 2500-k of the public health law requires the Commissioners to
make maternal depression information available to maternal health care
providers.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Maternal depression can lead to significant negative consequences for
those affected and their children and families. Mothers experiencing
maternal depression can have trouble caring for their new baby, be
unable to work or look for work. This depression can also negatively
impact the essential growth and development of families and young chil-
dren. Fortunately, treatment or maternal depression is successful for
80-90% of patients and offers long-term health costs savings.  Given the
efficacy of treatment, the State must ensure that medical practitioners
and the public are informed about available resources to treat this
debilitating condition.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Negotiated chapter amendment to chapter 463 of the laws of 2017.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal.

 
LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that section
one of this act shall take effect on June 30, 2018.
