S 7484 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a statewide residential families committee

S 7484 establishes a statewide residential families committee within New York's developmental disabilities advisory council. The committee, composed of individuals with developmental disabilities living in residential facilities or their family members/guardians (excluding facility staff or owners), will meet quarterly to advise the commissioner on care issues, recommend priorities, and hold regional meetings to gather input from residents and families. It directly affects people with developmental disabilities in community residences or care facilities and their families by creating a formal channel for their input on facility operations and care standards. The bill is pending in the Assembly after passing the Senate and is currently under review by the People with Disabilities committee.
