BILL NUMBER: S3484

SPONSOR: CARLUCCI
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend part C of chapter 60 of the laws of
2014, amending the social services law and other laws relating to elimi-
nating prescriber prevails for brand name drugs with generic equiv-
alents, in relation to the establishment of a developmental disability
clinician advisory group by the commissioner of health

 
PURPOSE:

To provide clarification relating to the establishment of a develop-
mental disability clinician advisory group by the commissioner of
health.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends section 18 of part c of chapter 60 of the laws of 2014
to provide clarification on the purpose and intent of the establishment
of a developmental disability clinician advisory group to provide the
department of health with information and data on the effects of poli-

cies, including proposed regulations or statutes and of fiscal proposals
including rate setting and appropriations on the delivery of supports
and services for individuals with developmental disabilities.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

In the 2014 budget process language was included to establish a rate
setting advisory group to advise the department of health with informa-
tion and data on the effects of policies, including proposes regulations
or statues and of fiscal proposals including rate setting and appropri-
ation on the delivery of supports and services for individuals with
developmental disabilities. To date this group has yet to be formed by
the Department of Health. This legislation will provide clarification to
the number of members of the rate setting advisory group as well as the
number of times the group is to meet during the year.

The creation of this advisory group is crucial to ensuring that the
providers of supports and services to our most vulnerable individuals
are compensated appropriately for the care that they provide.
