Directs the department of health to assign at least 1 narcotics investigator to each county in a city having a population of one million or more

This bill requires New York's Department of Health to assign at least one narcotics investigator to every county within cities having a population of one million or more. It directly affects counties in large cities like New York City, mandating the department to deploy these investigators specifically for enforcing narcotics laws. The key provision creates a new requirement in public health law, directing the Health Department to hire and assign these personnel without additional legislative funding or authorization. The bill was recently referred to the Health committee for further review.
