Bill > A04837

This bill directs the New York State Department of Health to conduct a comprehensive study on establishing three new nursing homes specifically for veterans. The study must examine the most strategic locations for these facilities within New York state, assess the staffing needs based on projected bed demand, and calculate the total costs associated with opening these nursing homes. Within one year of the bill's effective date, the Department of Health is required to submit the study findings to key state leadership, including the governor, senate president, assembly speaker, members of the senate veterans committee, and the assembly veterans services committee. The department is authorized to request and receive relevant information from other state agencies to support the study, with the understanding that any received information will maintain its original confidentiality requirements. The bill has an immediate effective date and will automatically expire and be repealed one year after its enactment, ensuring that the study is completed within a defined timeframe.
