Essential Caregiver Bill
The "Personal Caregiver Bill" sits in the Health Committee waiting for passing by the New York State Assembly and Senate. This began on May 25, 2020. This is a result of many families joining our plea through our Petition in May 25, 2020 - continued Advocacy statewide. The Personal Caregiver Bill was signed by Governor Andrew Cuomo on March 29, 2021.
Our hard work paid off.
