Bill > A07643

This bill requires the Office of Children and Family Services to develop an informational postcard about publicly available child care assistance programs, in consultation with the Department of Health. The bill mandates that the New York State Department of Health and the New York City Department of Health will mail these postcards to the residential address listed on a child's certificate of live birth. The postcards will provide information about how individuals can apply for and receive child care assistance. By creating and distributing these postcards, the bill aims to increase awareness and accessibility of child care assistance programs for families. The bill will take effect 180 days after it becomes law, which allows time for the relevant agencies to develop and prepare the postcards for distribution. The legislation amends existing laws in the executive law, public health law, and administrative code of New York City to implement this new requirement.
