 AN ACT to establish a Minority Coordinating Council on Asthmatic Affairs
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Short  title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 the "Lydia Soto law".
   § 2. Legislative findings and intent. According to the  American  Lung
 Association,  there  are  over 1.6 million New Yorkers with asthma, with
 over 380,000 of them being children. The annual cost of asthma is  esti-
 mated  to be nearly 18 billion dollars. Access to health care for ethnic
 minorities is often hampered by socio-economic disparities, shortages of
 primary care physicians in minority communities, language  and  literacy
 barriers,  and  cultural  beliefs about the role and usefulness of medi-
 cines. There have emerged clear disparities in the burden and  treatment
 of  asthma in the communities of ethnic minorities. The burden of asthma
 falls disproportionately on  the  African-American  and  Hispanic  popu-
 lations,  and  especially on children of these ethnic minorities. There-
 fore, it is the intent of this  legislature  to  create  a  coordinating
 council  to address these issues and to improve awareness and management
 of asthma prevention and treatment for minorities in this state.
   § 3. The commissioner of health shall establish a Minority  Coordinat-
 ing Council on Asthmatic Affairs. The commissioner shall appoint as many
 members  as  he  or  she  determines  appropriate. Such members shall be
 representative of those regions of the state with  significant  minority
 populations  and  shall include health care professionals with knowledge
 and experience in the prevention and treatment  of  asthma  and  in  the
 areas  of  public health care funding. The council shall be tasked with:
 (a) assessing the asthma risk factors for the minority citizens of  this
 state,  its  counties and regions; (b) identifying the existing barriers
