 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. HEVESI -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Children and Families

 AN ACT to amend the social services law, in relation to the termination
 of certain subsidies provided to adoptive parents for disabled or hard
 to place children; and to amend a chapter of the laws of 2024 amending
 the social services law relating to the adoption subsidies provided
 for disabled or hard to place children, as proposed in legislative
 bills numbers S. 8745 and A. 3580-A, in relation to the effectiveness
 thereof

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

 1 Section 1. Subparagraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv) of paragraph (c-2) and
 2 paragraphs (c-3) and (c-4) of subdivision 1 of section 453 of the social
 3 services law, as added by a chapter of the laws of 2024 amending the
 4 social services law relating to the adoption subsidies provided for
 5 disabled or hard to place children, as proposed in legislative bills
 6 numbers S. 8745 and A. 3580-A, are amended to read as follows:
 7 (ii) The adoptive parents shall be given an opportunity to respond to
 8 the notice. Upon receiving confirmation that the parents continue to
 9 meet their legal obligations to provide support to the child, the
 10 department will take no further action to [reduce, suspend, or] termi-
 11 nate the subsidy. If the parents fail to confirm that they continue to
 12 meet their legal obligations to provide support to the child, the social
 13 services official shall review all available information in order to
 14 confirm the parents' continued eligibility to receive the subsidy.
 15 (iii) If the child is not in foster care and, based on a review of the
 16 available information, the social services official determines that the
 17 adoptive parents are no longer legally responsible for the support of
 18 the child or that the child is no longer receiving any support from the
 19 adoptive parents, the social services official shall terminate the
