In 1994, three legislative proposals were enacted into law pertaining to Adult Care Facilities (ACFs). Chapters 733, 734 and 735 of the Laws of 1994, amend various sections of the Social Services Law, Mental Hygiene Law and Public Health Law relating to the operation of ACFs and other service providers to the residents of these facilities. Basically, these laws are intended to improve the quality of care in ACFs, strengthen related enforcement procedures and provide additional protections to the residents of these facilities.
