Bill > S09457

This bill amends the public health law to improve coordination between the state's traumatic brain injury (TBI) program and the office for the prevention of domestic violence. Specifically, it adds the executive director of the office for the prevention of domestic violence to the Traumatic Brain Injury Services Coordinating Council, which is a group that advises on TBI policies and services. This inclusion aims to ensure that the policies and services related to TBI are better coordinated with efforts to prevent domestic violence, recognizing the potential overlap and impact between these two areas. The bill also updates the name of the "office of alcoholism and substance abuse services" to "addiction services and supports" within the relevant sections of the public health law.
