S 6503 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for the establishment, incorporation and certification of addiction and substance abuse facilities in the city of New York

This bill amends New York's mental hygiene law to require the state commissioner to collect and publicly share data on substance abuse facilities operating in New York City (population over 1 million) by community board. It mandates that this data, updated regularly on the commissioner's website, be used when reviewing applications for new facility certifications. The bill directly affects substance use disorder service providers seeking approval in NYC and the Department of Mental Hygiene. It creates a transparent data-driven process for facility approvals without changing treatment standards or funding.
