BILL NUMBER: S544 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the social services law, in relation to providing relief on statewide central register clearance fees for tax exempt organizations PURPOSE : To remove an unfunded state mandate on tax-exempt not-for-profit child care providers by exempting them fees charged for State Central Registry clearances of facility staff. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Paragraph (f) of Subdivision 1 of section 424-a of the social services law, as amended by section 1 of part R of chapter 58 of the laws of 2011, is amended to exempt not-for-profit child care providers horn having to pay fees of $25 per person for state required clearance checks with the State Central Registry (SCR). JUSTIFICATION : Child care providers classified as federal 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organizations most often serve low income families, providing child care services that permit parents to be employed. Under state law, all employees of child care facilities must be cleared through the State
Central Registry (SCR) to determine if the employee is the subject of an indicated report of child abuse or maltreatment. Prior to 2011, facilities were not charged for such clearances but in 2011 a fee of $25 for each employee clearance was imposed. Imposing the clearance fees on not-for-profit providers represents an unfunded burden on providers and reduces the amount of funds spent on the provision of services, Also, at a time when non-for-profit service providers are being told they must hold their administrative costs and overhead to less than 15% of total costs, state mandates that drive up administrative costs make it increasingly more difficult for providers to manage their budgets. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : 2013-14: S.110/A.4969 Committed to Finance/Referred to Children and Families 2011-12: S.6828/A.9947 Referred to Children and Families FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : Marginable loss of fee revenue to the Office of Children and Family Services. LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : None. EFFECTIVE DATE : This act shall take effect immediately.
