BILL NUMBER: S3084
SPONSOR: HELMING
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring a service
center for independent living to be located in the county of Ontario
 
PURPOSE:
To include in the list of service centers for independent living eligi-
ble for Education Department funding.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Amends section 1124 of the education law to add the County of Ontario as
a service center for independent living.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
The state legislature recognizes the important work of independent
living centers by appropriating funding for the 35 existing independent
living centers. Because no center in Ontario County is designated as a
service center, Ontario County did not receive state funding. In order
to provide expanded services for its disabled population, Ontario County
seeks state identification and support for a service center for inde-
pendent living.
