  the premises on which the breeding  place  is  located  shall  bear  the
  expense  of  its suppression or removal, or so much thereof as the local
  board of health shall determine to be equitable as hereinafter provided.
2. If the local board of health  of  a  municipality  shall  determine
  that,  owing  to  the  natural  conditions  which  are  favorable to the

  may  deem  necessary  or  desirable for the purpose of ascertaining such
  actual cost.
4. If in any such case the owner of the premises  shall  not  proceed,
  within a reasonable time, to suppress or remove such breeding place, the
  board  of  health of the municipality may proceed to suppress and remove
  the same, and for such proportion of the expense of such suppression and
  removal as the board of health shall have determined to be equitable, an
  action may be maintained against such owner, and the same shall become a
  first lien upon the premises.

2023 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.

  or other forms of plant or animal life or viruses, except viruses on  or
  in living man or animals.

2023 New York Laws › PBH - Public Health › Article 20-A - Alzheimer's Community Assistance Program › 2005 - Legislative Intent.

§  2005. Legislative intent. 1. The legislature finds that Alzheimer's
  disease and related dementing  illnesses  which  destroy  certain  vital
  cells in the brain, currently affect more than four hundred thousand New
  Yorkers. Although these diseases are not limited to the elderly, medical
  researchers have projected that Alzheimer's disease and related diseases
  of  the  brain  will  show a significant increase in numbers to coincide
  with the growth in  the  population  of  the  elderly.  Because  of  the
  inability  of  persons with Alzheimer's and related dementias to live in
  safety or undertake even the simplest  tasks  of  daily  living  without
  cueing,  assistance  and/or supervision, this population requires a high
  level of care  throughout  the  moderate  and  advanced  stages  of  the
  disease.   The  reconfiguration  of  the  health  care  delivery  system
  currently underway necessitates  special  recognition  of  this  patient
  population  which  often,  while sometimes otherwise physically healthy,
  demands this high level of care because of  their  cognitive  impairment
  and other dementia symptoms.
2. In response to the needs of New York state's Alzheimer's community,
  and  stemming  from  within  this  community,  a  statewide  network  of
  not-for-profit   corporations   have   been    established,    dedicated
  specifically  to  responding  at  the  local  level to the needs of this
  community. This  network  provides  important  support  and  educational
  services  to  caregivers  of  persons  with  Alzheimer's disease. Eighty
  percent of all Alzheimer's care  is  provided  at  home  and/or  in  the
  community,  and  is delivered by family caregivers. By supporting family
  caregivers and informal supports at home and in  the  community,  costly
  institutionalization can be significantly delayed or avoided altogether.
  This  results  in  a more effective utilization of resources.  It is the
  intent of  the  legislature  to  encourage  and  foster  such  home  and
  community-based    assistance   through   this   existing   network   of
  not-for-profit corporations. It is further important  in  this  time  of
  changing resources and resource allocation, to encourage this network to
  work  closely  with  the  department  to  ensure  that  the  Alzheimer's
  community is appropriately educated and included  with  respect  to  all
  available health care options.
2023 New York Laws › PBH - Public Health › Article 20-A - Alzheimer's Community Assistance Program › 2006 - Grants.

  the department for the Alzheimer's Community Assistance  Program  (ACAP)

  limited to not-for-profit  corporations  which  have  as  their  primary
  purpose  providing  family  intervention services related to Alzheimer's
  disease,  which  are  designed  to  postpone  or  prevent  nursing  home
  placements on a statewide basis.

  monies  shall  be payable on the audit and warrant of the comptroller on
  vouchers certified in the manner prescribed by law.
