In 1994, three legislative proposals were enacted into law which pertain to Adult Care Facilities (ACFs). This legislation, Chapters 733, 734 and 735 of the Laws of 1994, amends various sections of the Social Services Law, Mental Hygiene Law and Public Health Law that pertain to the operation of ACFs and other providers of service 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.
