S 2396 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Creates caseload standards for adult protective services workers

This bill establishes strict caseload limits for adult protective services (APS) workers in New York State. It requires that no APS worker handles more than 20 initial investigations or 30 ongoing cases at any time, with a total cap of 30 cases per worker. Local social services districts must follow these standards, and the state must annually report on caseload averages and worker staffing levels. The law directly affects APS workers and local districts responsible for investigating elder and adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It becomes effective two years after enactment, with immediate reporting requirements for the state.
