Increases the frequency of inspections for facilities operated by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities.

New York S04114 amends the mental hygiene law to increase the frequency of inspections for facilities operated or licensed by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities. The bill mandates that inspections must occur at least three times per year, with at least two of these inspections being unannounced. Exceptions are made for facilities with a history of compliance and high-quality care, which may be inspected twice annually. The inspections cover various areas, including physical plant, fire safety, health care, protective oversight, and abuse and neglect prevention.
