Establishes the New York state celiac disease awareness and research fund
This bill establishes the New York State Celiac Disease Awareness and Research Fund, funded through voluntary contributions added to state income tax returns (Section 4 of Tax Law). It requires high schools to include celiac disease awareness in health education (Section 804-e) and mandates healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.) to complete two hours of celiac disease training by 2028 (Section 6505-f). The fund will support public awareness campaigns and research into celiac disease, with no more than 10% of funds allocated to research annually (Section 95-l of State Finance Law). The bill directly affects New York residents (via tax contributions), students (through school curriculum), and healthcare providers (via training requirements).
