AI Summary

This bill extends for two years the existing requirement for the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to provide a 90-day notice to the New York State Senate, Assembly, and relevant labor organizations before closing or transferring a state-operated individualized residential alternative (IRA). Specifically, the bill amends a previous law from 2016 by changing the expiration date of the notice requirement from March 31, 2026 to March 31, 2028. An individualized residential alternative is a type of residential living arrangement for individuals with developmental disabilities, typically providing personalized support and housing. The bill ensures that the current notification process will continue for an additional two years, maintaining transparency and allowing stakeholders adequate time to prepare for potential changes to residential facilities.
