There’re only a few days left to mobilize on behalf of the rights of adult home residents in New York!
NYAPRS and a broad coalition of colleagues are working together to get the bill that would provide extra consumer protections for adult home residents over the finish line!
-
Contact your legislator today to protect adult home residents by supporting A.00196/S01576. This bill will:
o Adjust the maximum fine from $1,000 (set in 1977) to $2,000 per day per violation, and for repeat violations, $3,000;
o Require penalties when residents are endangered or harmed, or when violations are repeated.
It is on third reading in both the Assembly and Senate, but there is troubling resistance, so we need to push harder!
Please reach out to your local legislators using this tool now!
THANK YOU!
