 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8742

 IN SENATE

 January 8, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. CLEARE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Aging

 AN ACT to amend the elder law, in relation to the provision of expanded
 non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite services, case
 management services, and ancillary services without a prescription or
 physician's order; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relat-
 ing thereto

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph (i) of subdivision 4 of section 214 of the elder
 2 law is amended to read as follows:
 3 (i) The director, within the amounts appropriated therefor and with
 4 the approval of the director of the budget, may authorize a county which
 5 has an approved home care plan for functionally impaired elderly to
 6 provide expanded non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite
 7 services, case management services, and ancillary services pursuant to
 8 such plan. Such services shall be limited to those services necessary to
 9 meet otherwise unmet needs and which support such elderly persons'
 10 continued residence in their homes. Needs will be determined pursuant to
 11 a standardized evaluation of functional impairment, available resources
 12 and such other relevant factors specified pursuant to regulations
 13 promulgated by the director. Agencies providing expanded non-medical
 14 in-home services, non-institutional respite services, case management
 15 services, and ancillary services pursuant to such plan shall not need a
 16 prescription or physician's order to provide such services. No expanded
 17 non-medical in-home services, non-institutional respite services, or
 18 ancillary services shall be provided to any individual pursuant to this
 19 section unless such expanded non-medical in-home services, non-institu-
 20 tional respite services, or ancillary services are accompanied by ongo-
 21 ing case management services in accordance with regulations promulgated
 22 by the director.
 23 § 2. Paragraph (k) of subdivision 4 of section 214 of the elder law is
 24 REPEALED.
 25 § 3. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 26 have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
