 Introduced by M. of A. TANNOUSIS -- read once and referred to the
 Committee on Higher Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a service
 learning, internship or independent study program for students inter-
 ested in working with individuals with developmental disabilities

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The United States department of justice
 2 believes that people with disabilities should live and work in the "most
 3 integrated setting" defined as "a setting that enables individuals with
 4 disabilities to interact with non-disabled persons to the fullest extent
 5 possible." In New York state, the office for people with developmental
 6 disabilities is mandating that all workshop providers submit a proposal
 7 outlining how they will transform the sheltered workshop either into an
 8 "integrated business," a business which employs disabled and non-disa-
 9 bled individuals, or how they will assist in creating transition plans
 10 for every individual currently employed in the workshop. This bill
 11 proposes to create a service learning, internship or independent study
 12 program within state-operated institutions and community colleges to
 13 allow students seeking careers aiding individuals with developmental
 14 disabilities to be given academic credit and practical application at
 15 sheltered workshops. In doing this, sheltered workshops will be allowed
 16 to change their business models to have individuals with developmental
 17 disabilities working directly with individuals without disabilities.
 18 § 2. Section 355 of the education law is amended by adding a new
 19 subdivision 22 to read as follows:
 20 22. The state university trustees shall adopt regulations to establish
 21 a service learning, internship or independent study program for students
 22 that work with individuals with developmental disabilities. Each state-
 23 operated institution and community college may, as determined by its
 24 president, offer such a service learning, internship or independent

 1 study program to eligible students in accordance with the regulations
 2 prescribed by the state university trustees. Such program shall consist
 3 of: (a) a work component with verifiable activities related to individ-
 4 uals with developmental disabilities as determined by the state univer-
 5 sity trustees, and (b) an academic component related to such activity
 6 that will be completed through either a written report or journal, or
 7 other written assignment as determined by the state university trustees.
 8 Such program shall be open to any student enrolled in an associate or
 9 baccalaureate degree-producing program on a full-time or part-time basis
 10 that is interested in pursuing a career interacting with the individuals
 11 with developmental disabilities. No more than six academic credits shall
 12 be awarded to a student for successful completion of such service le
