Assessment of Public Comment
The agency received only one letter during the comment period, and it was in support of the adoption of the amendment to Part 587 of Title 14 NYCRR. The writer stated that this amendment responds to an important need in the mental health system by enabling individuals over 18 but under the age of 22 to receive services, if needed, until they are able to be graduated into a more independent living environment. The writer went on to further point out that proposed regulation has no fiscal impact and does not increase the capacity of any individual provider in the State.
