 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to information
 required to be provided in calls made to the statewide central regis-

 laws of 2025 amending the social services law relating to the adminis-

 ment, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 550-A and A. 66-A,
 in relation to the effectiveness thereof

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 16 authorized by this title may use for determining the existence of prior
 17 reports in order to evaluate the condition or circumstances of a child.
 18 In addition to the single statewide telephone number, there shall be a
 19 special unlisted express telephone number and a telephone facsimile
 20 number for use only by persons mandated by law to make telephone calls,
 21 or to transmit telephone facsimile information on a form provided by the
 22 commissioner of children and fa
