HINCHEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health AN ACT in relation to directing the commissioner of health and the commissioner of the office for people with developmental disabilities to conduct a study of the delivery of services to individuals with traumatic brain injury THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature recognizes that a trau- matic brain injury results from a sudden blow or jolt to the head and can present in individuals with a wide range of mild, moderate or severe symptoms. Each traumatic brain injury case is unique and complex, often requiring supports and services to allow individuals to achieve the highest quality of life. This legislation will direct a study on the delivery of services to New Yorkers with traumatic brain injury. Specif- ically, the study will evaluate the availability and accessibility of quality services, emerging trends, regional disparities, and the effec- tiveness of the administrative process for individuals with traumatic brain injury who receive official approvals or denials of services. Furthermore, the commissioner of health and the commissioner of the office for people with developmental disabilities should make suggestions to enhance New York state's response to traumatic brain injuries based on the findings of this study. § 2. a. The commissioner of health and the commissioner of the office for people with developmental disabilities shall conduct a study on the delivery of services provided to individuals diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. Such services to be studied shall include, but not be limited to acute and sub-acute rehabilitation, counseling and behavioral services, home care services, independent living skills training, envi- ronmental modifications, housing opportunities, and any services or programs specific to traumatic brain injury or that serve individuals EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
