§ 131-b. Fees for services. If and only to the extent the
imposition of a fee is required by federal law and regulation to insure
continued full federal financial participation in the state's plan for
services under applicable federal law and regulations, the department
shall, by regulation, require a local social services district to impose
a fee for any service made available by that district to an individual
who is not a recipient of public assistance and care. This section
shall not apply to fees for day care services as authorized by title
five of article six of this chapter.
