BILL NUMBER: S8363

SPONSOR: HARCKHAM
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, in relation to including the commis-
sioner of addiction services and supports as a member of the disaster
preparedness commission

 
PURPOSE:

To amend the to amend the executive law, in relation to including t
commissioner of addiction services and supports as a member of the
disaster, commission, and ensure substance use disorder providers are
part of any disaster management planning.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends section 21 of the executive law to include the Office
of Addiction-Services and Supports to the list of agencies participating
in the disaster preparedness commission.

Section 2 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The New York State Office of Emergency Management has been responsible
for coordinating the activities of all State agencies to protect New
York's communities, the State's economic well-being, and the environment
from natural and man-made disasters and emergencies. NYS OEM routinely
assists local governments, voluntary organizations, and private industry
through a variety of emergency management programs including hazard
identification, loss prevention, planning, training, operational
response to emergencies, technical support, and disaster recovery
assistance. OASAS certified providers are on the front lines of provid-
ing care to individuals suffering from substance use disorder, but
because they are not included in the commission the needs of these
providers are at risk for being overlooked during initial emergency
management planning. When PPE shortages were being, rectified at the
county level, some addiction service providers found they weren't on the
list of essential healthcare services. With initial data indicating a
sharp increase in overdoses, the COVID 19 crisis has highlighted the
critical role OASAS certified providers play in combating the mental
health fallout out of this pandemic.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  This is a new bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Fiscal note attached.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
