New York S03705 amends the public health law to change how applications for home care services agency licensure are processed and approved.

New York S03705 amends the public health law by modifying the criteria for approving applications for licensure of a licensed home care services agency. The bill specifies that the public health and health planning council must be satisfied regarding the public need for the agency, the character and competence of the applicant's incorporators, directors, sponsors, stockholders, or operators, the financial resources of the agency, and any other pertinent matters. It also removes public need, tax status, and profit-making status as criteria for licensure.
