N.Y. Mental Hygiene Law § 13.06: Annual plan

§ 13.06 Annual plan.

The commissioner shall submit an annual plan to the director of the

budget for his review and approval. Such annual plan shall also be filed

with the chairman of the assembly ways and means committee and the

senate finance committee. Such plan shall identify those community

residences to be converted to intermediate care facilities for persons

with developmental disabilities. In developing such plan, the

commissioner shall utilize specific criteria, including client

eligibility criteria, fiscal criteria and such other relevant criteria

as he may deem necessary, to assess the appropriateness of such

conversion. The procedures contained in this plan shall be applied on a

case by case basis to individual community residential sites. No

community residence shall be so converted unless it meets such criteria.
