Bill > A09399

This bill extends the effectiveness of the care demonstration program established by the New York Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) from March 31, 2026 to March 31, 2028. The bill amends a previous law (Chapter 670 of the laws of 2021) by simply changing the expiration date of the program, which will allow the demonstration program to continue operating for an additional two years. The care demonstration program, which was originally created to test or pilot a specific approach to developmental disabilities services, will now remain in effect until the new expiration date. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, ensuring that there is no interruption in the program's operations. By extending the program's timeline, the state appears to be seeking more time to evaluate its effectiveness or to continue providing essential services to individuals with developmental disabilities.
