 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8738

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 June 2, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. BRONSON, CLARK -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Health

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to reimbursement
 rates for certain programs established by not-for-profit and public
 skilled nursing facilities in upstate New York nursing home regions

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 2826 of the public health law is amended by adding
 2 a new subdivision (h) to read as follows:
 3 (h) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the commis-
 4 sioner is authorized to grant approval to eligible programs established
 5 by not-for-profit and public skilled nursing facilities in any of the
 6 five nursing home regions in upstate New York, which are designed to
 7 work collaboratively on efforts to improve nursing home efficiency,
 8 staffing, and quality of care. Upon application by the regional program,
 9 the commissioner shall approve those regions which apply for such desig-
 10 nation who can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the commissioner,
 11 that the programs present a collaborative effort designed to improve the
 12 quality of nursing home care and services and that appropriate program
 13 structural safeguards are included to prevent any collusion or anti-com-
 14 petitive practices.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
