Provides due process procedures for individuals in out-of-state residential schools offered transitional care.

This bill amends the mental hygiene law to establish due process procedures for individuals currently in New York State Education Department-approved out-of-state residential schools who have received an offer for transitional care or certain care. It ensures these individuals receive less than ten days' notice and a written determination within thirty days of a hearing. The bill also mandates that individuals not be required to terminate their educational program prematurely if an offer is made before their right to a Free and Appropriate Public Education expires.
