2019-S4285 - Sponsor Memo
BILL NUMBER: S4285
SPONSOR: CARLUCCI
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the social services law, in relation
to the community guardianship program
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
At present, subparagraph (g) of paragraph 3 of section 473-d of the
Social Services Law requires that community guardian programs obtain
assessments of their clients by two mental health professionals each
year. These assessments are intended to be used to determine whether the
guardianship continues to be necessary.
Section one of this bill would eliminate this requirement and instead
require a report by a doctor or psychologist or other person who has
evaluated the client in the three months prior to the filing of the
report regarding the client's condition and current functional level.
This report is already required by paragraph 5 of subdivision (b) of
section 81.31 of the Mental Hygiene Law.
