The purpose of this release is to provide guidance to local departments of social services (LDSS) as to permissible means for the sharing of client-identifiable information between Child Protective Services (CPS) and Protective Services for Adults (PSA) units of an LDSS. The release includes information about a new provision of law, enacted as Chapter 440 of the Laws of 2011, as well as information about other applicable longstanding provisions of law. Some LDSSs have sought clarification of permissible means under current law of sharing client identifiable CPS information with PSA, and the enactment of this new chapter law makes it necessary to provide such guidance at this time.
