 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 3995

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 31, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. PARKER, ADDABBO, BAILEY, PERSAUD -- read twice and
 ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on
 Finance

 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to creating the New York
 autism spectrum disorders treatment, training and research council and
 providing for the powers and duties of the council

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

 1 Section 1. Intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that
 2 autism spectrum disorders, hereinafter ASDs, currently affect approxi-
 3 mately one in 110 children and are considered to be an "urgent public
 4 health concern" by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
 5 The legislature further finds that New York state has not responded
 6 sufficiently to this crisis. In its 2010 report, the New York state
 7 Interagency Task Force on Autism, hereinafter Task Force, identified
 8 five primary needs of the growing population of New York citizens
 9 affected by ASDs: coordination of state services, early identification,
 10 lifelong service delivery, increased dissemination of information, and
 11 coordination of research efforts. First, as a collaborative effort of 11
 12 independent state agencies that each serve individuals impacted by ASDs,
 13 the Task Force itself exemplifies the need for coordination of research,
 14 treatment and training responsibilities. Second, while the Task Force
 15 determined that early identification and intervention were crucial to
 16 minimizing the symptoms and impact of ASDs, it reported that only eight
 17 percent of pediatricians routinely screen for ASDs and approximately 30
 18 percent of children with ASDs do not receive the early intervention
 19 services provided by the New York State Department of Health. Third,
 20 recognizing that the thousands of children diagnosed with ASDs will soon
 21 age out of the state's educational system, the Task Force noted a dearth
 22 of post-secondary training and transitional services. Fourth, the Task
 23 Force determined that individuals and families affected by ASDs would

 1 benefit from a centralized clearinghouse of relevant information, and
 2 called for the provision of user-friendly access to such information.
 3 Finally, the Task Force reported that collaboratively determining the
 4 direction of future ASD research would best utilize available public and
 5 private funding.
 6 The legislature therefore declares that there is a need to expand
 7 treatment, training and research with regard to ASDs -- including the
 8 enhancement of efforts to improve access to, and the efficacy of, needed
 9 services, support and treatment.
 10 § 2. Short title. This act shall be known, and may be cited, as the
 11 "New York autism spectrum disorders treatment, training and research
 12 act".
 13 § 3. The executive law is amended by adding a new article 41-A to read
 14 as follows:
 15 ARTICLE 41-A
 16 NEW YORK AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS
 17 TREATMENT, TRAINING AND RESEARCH COUNCIL
 18 Section 908. Definitions.
 19 908-a. New York autism spectrum disorders treatment, training
 20 and research council; purpose and organization.
 21 908-b. Functions, powers and duties of the council.
 22 § 908. Definitions. When used in this article:
 23 1. "autism spectrum disorder" or "ASD" means a neurobiological condi-
 24 tion that includes autis
