This bill amends the New York social services law to authorize the payment of medical assistance, including for organ transplantation procedures and related care, for residents of New York who are otherwise eligible for benefits under the state's Medicaid program, except for their immigration status. The bill requires that the organ transplantation be deemed medically necessary, as determined by regulations set by the state health commissioner. The bill will take effect on January 1 of the year following its enactment, with the necessary rules and regulations authorized to be in place by the effective date.
