NY Soc Serv L § 481-A (2021)
2021 New York Laws SOS - Social Services Article 10-A - William B. Hoyt Memorial Children and Family Trust Fund Act 481-A - Legislative Findings and Purpose.

§  481-a.  Legislative  findings  and  purpose.  For  the past decade,   society has witnessed broad changes in family structure.  These  changes   have  created  unique  stresses  on our children as well as on those who   care for them. Among the most dire results of  family  stresses  is  the   increasing  frequency  of child abuse and maltreatment, represented by a   steady increase in reports of abuse and maltreatment  to  the  statewide   central  register  of child abuse and maltreatment.  Additionally nearly   one-fifth of homicides, and an even larger proportion of assaults  occur   within  the  home  between  members  of families. Among the contributing   causes of family violence are economic stress,  social  isolation,  drug   and  alcohol  abuse,  parental  attitude  regarding discipline and child   rearing, as well as acceptance  of  violence  as  a  way  of  life.  The   reported  incidents  of both adult domestic violence and child abuse and   maltreatment ( including intergenerational  family  violence)  represent   only  a  portion  of  the total number of incidents in the pervasive and   persistent problem of family violence. The development  and  support  of   prevention  programs  for  child  abuse  and  maltreatment  and domestic   violence (including intergenerational family violence) and  services  to   victims  of  family  violence  is, therefore, of major importance to the   state.It is the intent of the legislature that the funds for the William  B.   Hoyt  Memorial  children  and family trust fund shall be a new source of   funding which shall increase the  funds  available  for  prevention  and   treatment  services  to victims of family violence. The legislature does   not intend that these funds be  used  as  a  substitute  for  any  funds   currently  available  from  federal,  state  or  local  sources  for the   provision of prevention or treatment services to these victims.
