 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to conciliation and
 non-compliance with public assistance employment; and to repeal
 certain provisions of such law relating thereto

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

 1 Section 1. Section 341 of the social services law is REPEALED.
 2 § 2. Section 341-a of the social services law, as added by chapter 562
 3 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
 4 § [341-a] 341. Re-engagement; conciliation; refusal to participate.
 5 1. [The provisions of this section shall apply to persons who are resi-
 6 dents of a city having a population of one million or more people.
 7 2.] (a) Consistent with federal law and regulations and this title, if
 8 a participant has failed or refused to comply with the requirements of
 9 this title and the district has determined that [he or she] such partic-
 10 ipant is not exempt from such requirements and has verified that appro-
 11 priate child care, transportation, and accommodations for disability
 12 were in place at the time of such failure or refusal, the social
 13 services district shall issue a re-engagement notice in plain language
 14 indicating that such failure or refusal has taken place and of the right
 15 of such participant to avoid a pro-rata reduction in public assistance
 16 benefits through the re-engagement process. "Re-engagement process"
 17 shall mean the process through which a participant may avoid a pro-rata
 18 reduction in public assistance benefits by agreeing to comply with the
 19 requirements of this title consistent with any medical condition which
 20 may limit the individual's ability to participate in work activities, by
 21 notifying the district that [he or she] such participant has become
 22 exempt from the requirements of this title, or by resolving the reasons
 23 for such failure or refusal at a conciliation conference. The notice
 24 shall indicate that the participant has ten days to request re-engage-

 1 ment with the district. The notice shall indicate the specific instance
 2 or instances of willful refusal or failure to comply without good cause
 3 with the requirements of this title and the necessary actions that must
 4 be taken to avoid a pro-rata reduction in public assistance benefits and
 5 the district has verified that appropriate child care, transportation
 6 and accommodations for disability were in place at the time of such
 7 failure or refusal.
 8 (1) If a participant chooses to avoid a pro-rata reduction in public
 9 assistance benefits through a conciliation conference, it will be the
 10 responsibility of the participant to give reasons for such failure or
 11 refusal. The re-engagement notice shall also include an explanation in
 12 plain language of what would constitute good cause for non
