 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN ASSEMBLY

 March 28, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Children and Families

 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to establishing a
 demonstration program implementing the Westchester county dual track
 child protective services system; and providing for the repeal of such
 provisions upon expiration thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and
 2 declares that the challenge facing this state's child protective
 3 services program demands that a bold new approach be tested to determine
 4 how this state can fulfill its obligations to protect and defend chil-
 5 dren, provide for their health, safety and welfare, and also make neces-
 6 sary services and assistance available to families in a less confronta-
 7 tional and intrusive manner, when circumstances so warrant. By
 8 establishing a system in Westchester county, where complaints of alleged
 9 child abuse and maltreatment are assigned to either an investigatory or
 10 a family assessment and services track, it is the intent of the legisla-
 11 ture to study and review alternative methods of fulfilling those obli-
 12 gations and, at the same time, initiate the delivery of comprehensive
 13 family rehabilitative services to children and families.
 14 § 2. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as the
 15 "Westchester county dual track demonstration program".
 16 § 3. The social services law is amended by adding a new section 423-b
 17 to read as follows:
 18 § 423-b. Westchester county demonstration program to assess the feasi-
 19 bility of enhancing alternative child protective services through the
 20 use of a dual track approach. 1. (a) The office of children and family
 21 services is hereby authorized and directed to establish a demonstration
 22 program in Westchester county to address the feasibility of enhancing

 1 alternative child protective services through the use of a dual track
 2 approach.
 3 (b) Participation in the demonstration program by the Westchester
 4 county social services district (hereinafter in this section referred to
 5 as the "district") shall enable the district to assign complaints of
 6 alleged child abuse and maltreatment received by the statewide central
 7 register of child abuse and maltreatment, to one of two tracks:
 8 (1) the investigative track, which operates in compliance with the
 9 other sections of this title; or
 10 (2) the family assessment and services track, designed to increase
 11 family participation in voluntary services to improve family functioning
 12 and prevent repeat reports. Cases assigned to this track shall not be
 13 subject to the requirements otherwise applicable to cases reported to
 14 the statewide register of child abuse and maltreatment pursuant to this
 15 title, except as set forth in this section.
 16 (c) The demonstration program authorized by this section shall be
 17 conducted for the period commencing January first, two thousand twenty-
 18 six and ending December thirty-first, two thousand twent
