Extends the effectiveness of certain provisions of chapter 329 of the laws of 2009, relating to removing special powers granted to the society for the prevention of cruelty to children
This bill extends the expiration dates for specific provisions in New York's 2009 law that removed special powers granted to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SPCC) under family court and social services law. It amends the 2009 law to delay the automatic repeal of sections related to these power removals until August 11, 2027 (for two sections) and December 31, 2017 (for another section, which has already expired). The key mechanism is updating the sunset dates in the original law, ensuring the removal of the SPCC's special powers remains in effect longer. The bill directly affects how the SPCC operates within New York's child welfare system by maintaining the loss of those specific legal authorities.
