Essential Caregiver Bill
The "Personal Caregiver Bill" sits in the Health Committee waiting for passing by the New York State Assembly and Senate. 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.
