AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation to requiring an annual report on individuals who are the primary caregiver for an older adult
AI Summary
This bill requires the New York State Elder Law to include an annual report that comprehensively examines primary caregivers for older adults. The report will provide detailed information including the total number of primary caregivers, their average age, the personal financial cost of providing care, and an assessment of the economic value and state-level savings generated by these caregivers' services. By mandating this data collection, the bill aims to shed light on the significant role and economic impact of individuals who provide care for older adults, potentially informing future policy decisions and support strategies for family caregivers. The report will be added as a new paragraph to an existing section of the elder law, and the act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
