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

 AN ACT to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to reimbursement of
 certain programs and services for persons with a disability

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

 1 Section 1. The mental hygiene law is amended by adding a new section
 2 43.13 to read as follows:
 3 § 43.13 Reimbursement of certain programs and services for persons with
 4 a disability.
 5 If a person who qualifies for and has entered into a program and/or
 6 received a service furnished by a local service provider pursuant to
 7 subdivision (a) of section 13.15 of this chapter subsequently enters
 8 into a different program and/or receives a different service not yet
 9 approved by the commissioner, provided such approval is ultimately
 10 granted, the local service provider shall be reimbursed, after such
 11 services have been rendered and approved, the cost of such program
 12 and/or service as if it had been approved prior to such person's admis-
 13 sion into such program or receipt of such service. If a service is ulti-
 14 mately not approved and reimbursement has already occurred, such
 15 reimbursement shall be returned to the office for people with develop-
 16 mental disabilities within sixty days of notice of such denial. This
 17 section shall apply to any services rendered on and after one year prior
 18 to the effective date of this section.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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