AI Summary

  • Adds new Section 368-G to Social Services Law to prohibit unfunded mandates in medical assistance, making any such mandate voluntary rather than mandatory in effect.

  • Defines an unfunded mandate as any provision requiring county or city social services districts to expend funds that results in aggregate net increase in direct expenditures, unless offset by dedicated funding or concurrent reductions in other mandates.

  • Applies to statutes, executive orders, and agency rules or regulations; exempts laws necessary for federal compliance, those costing less than $20,000, locally requested provisions, emergency executive orders, and laws already in effect before the effective date.

  • Takes effect April 1, 2014 and automatically repeals March 31, 2016.

Legislative Description

Prohibits unfunded mandates in medicaid; provides that a provision of law which is determined to be an unfunded mandate according to this new section of law shall cease to be mandatory and become voluntary in operation; defines "law" as a statute, executive order of the governor, or rule or regulation; prohibition does not apply to laws in full force and effect prior to the effective date of the section.
