Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to providing education and outreach programs related to home visiting programs
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York public health law to require the inclusion of information about home visiting programs in existing public health communications. Home visiting programs are support services that provide assistance to pregnant and parenting families, with proven benefits for improving outcomes for mothers, infants, and families. Specifically, the bill mandates that informational materials now must include details about these programs, such as the services they offer, who is eligible to participate, and how to contact the programs. The new requirement will be added as a paragraph to an existing section of the public health law, and the bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage. By adding this provision, the bill aims to increase awareness and accessibility of home visiting programs, potentially helping more families access valuable support services during pregnancy and early parenthood.
