BILL NUMBER: S8392

SPONSOR: HANNON
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the public health law, in relation to
the early intervention coordinating council and the maternal child
health services block grant advisory council

 
PURPOSE OF THE BILL:

To amend the definition of quorum for the Early Intervention Coordinat-
ing Council (EICC) and the Maternal Child Health Services Block Grant
Advisory Council (MCHSBG) and change the appointment authority for
voting members for the MCHSBG.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Public Health Law (PHL) § 2553 is amended to allow the EICC members who
are Legislators to appoint a designee to represent them on the EICC and
to create a new subdivision (e), which would allow a majority of the
appointed voting membership of the council to constitute a quorum.

In addition, the bill would amend section 1 of chapter 884 of the laws
of 1982 to place the authority of appointment fully with the Commission-
er, and to allow a majority of the appointed voting membership of the
council to constitute a quorum.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Both the EICC and MCHSBG have been unable to achieve a quorum due to a
delay in the appointment process and issues with consistent attendance.
This bill would allow for the EICC and MCHSBG to reach a quorum based on
a majority of the number of members appointed, as opposed to a majority
based on the total number of members required to be appointed to the
Council. With respect to the EICC, this bill would allow the Legislature
to appoint a designee on their behalf to sit on the EICC, thereby allow-
ing the designee to be considered an active member of the Council with
voting authority. These designees would also count towards the fulfill-
ment of a quorum.

The proposed amendments would help streamline the appointment process
and achieve a quorum on a consistent basis so that the EICC and MCHSBG
can fulfill their respective charges. With respect to the EICC, this
proposal would also facilitate compliance with federal program require-
ments.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This proposal has not been introduced before by the Department.  Howev-
er, A8656/S6867 of 2017 defines a quorum for the EICC. This bill remains
in legislative committees.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
