NY Pub Health L § 1399-NN (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 13-G - Tobacco Escrow Funds 1399-NN - Findings and Purpose.

§ 1399-nn. Findings and purpose. 1. Cigarette smoking presents serious   public  health  concerns  to the state and to the citizens of the state.   The Surgeon General has determined  that  smoking  causes  lung  cancer,   heart disease and other serious diseases, and that there are hundreds of   thousands  of  tobacco-related  deaths  in  the United States each year.   These diseases most often do not  appear  until  many  years  after  the   person in question begins smoking.2.  Cigarette smoking also presents serious financial concerns for the   state. Under certain health-care programs, the state may  have  a  legal   obligation  to provide medical assistance to eligible persons for health   conditions associated with cigarette smoking, and those persons may have   a legal entitlement to receive such medical assistance.3. Under these programs, the state pays millions of dollars each  year   to  provide  medical  assistance for these persons for health conditions   associated with cigarette smoking.4. It is the policy of the state that financial burdens imposed on the   state by cigarette smoking be borne  by  tobacco  product  manufacturers   rather  than  by  the state to the extent that such manufacturers either   determine to enter into  a  settlement  with  the  state  or  are  found   culpable by the courts.5.  On  November  twenty-third, nineteen hundred ninety-eight, leading   United States tobacco product manufacturers entered  into  a  settlement   agreement,  entitled  the "Master Settlement Agreement," with the state.   The master settlement agreement obligates these manufacturers, in return   for a release of past, present and certain future claims against them as   described therein, to pay substantial sums to the state (tied in part to   their volume of sales); to fund a national  foundation  devoted  to  the   interests  of  public  health;  and to make substantial changes in their   advertising and marketing practices  and  corporate  culture,  with  the   intention of reducing underage smoking.6.  It would be contrary to the policy of the state if tobacco product   manufacturers who determine not to enter into such  a  settlement  could   use  a  resulting  cost advantage to derive large, short-term profits in   the years before liability may arise without  ensuring  that  the  state   will have an eventual source of recovery from them if they are proven to   have  acted culpably. It is thus in the interest of the state to require   that such manufacturers establish a reserve fund to guarantee  a  source   of  compensation  and to prevent such manufacturers from deriving large,   short-term profits and then becoming judgment-proof before liability may   arise.

§ 1399-tt. Regulations. The commissioner shall make regulations, under this article, governing the use of sharps in health care for the purpose of:   preventing  sharps  injuries,  reducing  exposure  incidents,  and promoting the use of safer technologies which include engineered  sharps injury  protections.  Dentists licensed in this state, under title eight of the education law, shall be exempt from the  regulations  under  this article. Regulations under this article shall prohibit the use of sharps that  do  not  incorporate  engineered  sharps  injury  protections. The regulations may provide exceptions permitting the use of sharps  without engineered sharps injury protections under circumstances where:  (a) appropriate engineered sharps are not available in the market;  (b)  the use of sharps without engineered sharps injury protections is essential to the performance of a specific medical procedure; or  (c) based on objective  product  evaluation,  sharps  with  engineered injury  protections  are  not  more  effective  in  preventing  exposure incidents than sharps without engineered injury protections.

§ 1399-vv. Studies and reports. The commissioner shall conduct a study   of  exposure  incidents  occurring  prior  to  and  one  year  after the   effective date of regulations made under this article to  determine  the   effectiveness  of  the  regulations  in  reducing  sharps  injuries  and   exposure incidents, the level  of  compliance,  and  the  need  for  any   modifications  or revisions to the regulations. The results of the study   shall be reported to the governor and the legislature no later than  six   months  after the first twelve month period during which the regulations   have been effective. The commissioner shall submit a  second  report  no   later  than  two  years  after the first report. The studies and reports   under this section shall be done  in  consultation  with  the  technical   advisory committee established under this article.

NY Pub Health L § 1601 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 16 - Pesticide Control Board 1601 - Legislative Findings and Purpose.

§  1601.  Legislative  findings  and purpose.   Pesticides have proved   valuable in the control of harmful insects, weeds, fungi and other forms   of plant and animal life. When used indiscriminately, however, they  may   injure crops, whether or not directly treated, contaminate the air, soil   and  water,  thus  upsetting  the  desired  ecological balance, and harm   humans, fish and wildlife by direct poisoning or by gradual accumulation   of pesticide residues in tissues. It is  the  purpose  of  this  article   better  to  protect  the  public  health and welfare and to minimize the   potential pesticide hazard to man and his environment,  consistent  with   the  public  interest  in the benefits to be derived from their safe and   scientific application, by establishing a  pesticide  control  board  to   formulate  over-all  policy  in  the  state's  regulatory  programs  and   coordinate state efforts to control the use of pesticides.
