WEISENBERG -- read once and referred to the Committee on Mental Health AN ACT relating to the administration of services to people with devel- opmental disabilities THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the policy known as the "front door" has been implemented to control the allocation of services to people with developmental disabilities. This has led to widespread complaints about service denials to people who are in crit- ical need of services, some living at home with aging parents who them- selves have disabilities significant enough to prevent them from contin- uing as their child's caregiver. Furthermore, widespread reports suggest that the number of persons in critical need is growing larger and more severe for a broad range of people with developmental disabilities, including those transitioning out of school, in addition to those who now live at home. Compounding these problems the state has elected to assume substantial decision making and administrative authority without having the means, resources or a clear process to efficiently and expe- ditiously carry out these functions. The consequence has been inordinate delays in the allocation of critical services, constrained choice and the inability to appropriately and efficiently redirect resources to better serve people and families in need. S 2. The commissioner of the office for people with developmental disabilities, in collaboration with the developmental disabilities advi- sory council established pursuant to section 13.05 of the mental hygiene law, shall develop a plan for overhauling and improving the front door process. Such commissioner shall submit the plan to the temporary presi- dent of the senate and the speaker of the assembly no later than October 1, 2014 and implement guidelines putting the plan into effect no later than December 1, 2014. The plan shall consist of proposals to address the following: (a) Recognize critical needs of people with developmental disabilities living at home with persons whose ability to act as a caregiver has been EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.

The legislature hereby finds that the policy known as the "front door" is being implemented to allocate services to people with developmental disabilities based on person-centered planning. Widespread reports suggest that the number of persons in critical need is growing larger and more severe for a broad range of people with developmental disabilities, including those transitioning out of school, those living with aging caregivers, and those who live at home but are in need of more intensive services. Compounding this situation, it has been found that while individuals linger in inappropriate settings there are vacan- cies that remain at provider agencies. To reduce delays and create a more efficient and seamless coordination of services, it is paramount that transparent and more timely guidance is provided to individuals in need of services and their families. In addition, clear guidance must be given to providers of services to ensure that services are utilized in a meaningful and thoughtful manner. S 2.
