Creates the New York state autism council

This bill creates the New York State Autism Council, a 16-member body to coordinate autism-related efforts. The council includes state agency representatives, family advocates, parents of children with autism, and regional specialists, directly serving families and providers of autism support services across New York. Key provisions require the council to approve autism awareness programs, develop family education initiatives, coordinate biomedical research sharing, and oversee funding for approved programs and services. It also directs state funds toward approved autism programs, awareness projects, and research, with a cap limiting research spending to 10% of allocated funds annually. The council must submit an annual report to the governor with recommendations for improving autism services.
