Bill > S08308

This bill makes a technical correction to the Public Health Law regarding the definition of a nonprofit corporation operating adult residential health care beds. Specifically, the bill changes the language describing the licensing of adult beds from referring generically to "this chapter" to explicitly referencing "the mental hygiene law". This modification clarifies the specific legal framework under which these 110-bed nonprofit adult residential health care facilities are licensed. The change appears to be a minor technical adjustment to ensure precise legal language and improve the clarity of the existing statute. The bill will take effect immediately and is retroactively deemed to be in full force as of December 21, 2024, suggesting this is a clarifying amendment to prevent any potential legal ambiguity in the interpretation of the existing law.
