TO OUR FRIENDS

This year, we are following the precedent set in 2012 with the creation of our fifth digital spring journal.

We are continuing our commitment to the environment by issuing the journal though our website again this year.

What has not changed is our deepest appreciation to our many friends and coworkers who have contributed so generously to the success of this very special evening.

We are most grateful for your help. Thank you for joining us and we hope that you have a most enjoyable evening.

    Committee on Banks 2019 ANNUAL REPORT New York State Assembly Carl E. Heastie, Speaker Kenneth P. Zebrowski, Chair December 15, 2019 The Honorable Carl E. Heastie Speaker of the Assembly State Capitol, Room 349 Albany, NY 12248 Dear Speaker Heastie: I am pleased to submit the 2019 Annual Report for the Assembly Standing Committee on Banks. Included herein are details of the Committee’s 2019 legislative work, other initiatives undertaken during the year, and important developments since the close of session. Additionally, you will find the Committee’s outlook for the 2020 legislative session where we will continue to protect consumers’ financial interests and rights while helping to improve and grow the banking industry across the State. The Banks Committee made significant progress during the 2019 session, reporting legislation that aimed to maintain and enhance the vitality of our State’s financial industry, expand the banking development district program, address the student loan debt crisis, increase access for consumers in under-banked communities, and maintain sound operations within the industry. The Committee’s significant accomplishments in 2019 include adding meaningful protections for student loan borrowers in the State budget as well as imposing important restrictions on bad actors in the student debt consulting industry; increasing disclosure to consumers on issues such as mortgage lending, allowing credit unions and savings banks to take municipal deposits; and, expanding the banking development district program to include credit unions. I want to thank my fellow members of the Assembly Banks Committee for all the time and work they have put in to serving the interests of the residents of our State.

    THE STATE of EARLY LEARNING in NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT out Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care by Legislative District

    BRIEFING GUIDE THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT Access to Full-Day Pre-K and Child Care By Legislative District What New York Leaders Need to Do Now Recommendations for 2019-20 Enacted Budget Acknowledgments Preparation of this report was truly a team effort by the Ready for Kindergarten, Ready for College Campaign including Betty Holcomb, Center for Children’s Initiatives, Marina Marcou O’Malley, the Alliance for Quality Education, Dorothy (Dede) Hill, the Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Pete Nabozny, The Children’s Agenda for valuable data analysis and editing. Special thanks to Jennifer March, executive director, Citizens’ Committee for Children and to the Committee’s data and research team, including Marija Drobnjak, and Sophia Halkitis, for the providing data on subsidized child care in New York City. In addition, we want to thank the National Alliance for Early Success, the New York Community Trust, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and The Partnership for America’s Children for their support. THE STATE OF EARLY LEARNING IN NEW YORK TOO MANY YOUNG LEARNERS STILL LEFT OUT | 2 OPPORTUNITIES DENIED Working Families And The State’s Youngest Learners Left Out HIGHLIGHTS • The Governor’s proposal to add just $15 million for pre-K for 3- and 4- year olds, is unlikely to add even the 3,000 new seats he promises, and falls dismally short of rising need and unmet demand. More than 100 districts gave formal notice of interest in adding pre-K last October. • 80,000 four-year-olds across the state – mostly outside New York City – still have no full-day pre-K.

    The Current Status of the scope restriction on behavior analysis in NY: Why Everyone Should Care Debbi Napolitano, NYSABA Legislative Committee Chair History Matters In the Beginning The writing was on the wall. Licensure was becoming necessary, but we were not successful In collaboration with Autism Speaks we got autism insurance passed. Autism insurance included BCBAs NY said too bad….. Joe Morelle got us a license, but couldn’t get a license that wasn’t restricted We debated scrapping it, knowing it would be a disaster, but we knew it was happening whether we wanted it or not, to fix the insurance. SOME Problems with a Field Restricted to Autism Students trained ONLY to work with individuals with autism Difficulty for students to accrue hours VERY difficult to become licensed when moving to NY even if licensed in another state Individuals Without Autism Cannot Access Services: Meet Micah In our recent survey, 48% (42 respondents) stated they know someone who cannot get services It Is Hurting Individuals with Autism and Our Field The Rest of the Country What is the Difference Between the Licensing Statute and the Regulations First a law is passed. Besides the word “autism” and ”prescription” our scope in statute is pretty good. Regulation is what is developed by the State Education Department (SED) Higher Education with “advisement” from the Licensing Board Regulations are in need of change but will not be changed until they have to be!
