New York A00917 amends the social services law to replace references of "assistance" with "subsidies" for adoptive parents of disabled or hard-to-place children. It also changes the effective date of these changes to 90 days after the bill becomes law, contingent on approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The bill also modifies the conditions under which subsidies can be terminated or resumed, and it specifies that payments can be made directly to the child or to a representative payee.
