[*]

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, it is the first obligation of government to
					 protect its citizens from crime and violence;
WHEREAS, the Probation-Eligible Diversion Program, formerly
					 known as Operation 360, provides funding for enhanced community-based
					 supervision and treatment for probation-eligible, non-violent felony offenders
					 who have not previously been convicted of a felony offense and who otherwise
					 would have received state prison sentences;
WHEREAS, the Probation-Eligible Diversion Program is
					 intended to increase the available capacity in the correctional system for
					 violent felony offenders without jeopardizing public safety;
WHEREAS, although certain felony sex offenses are not
					 denominated "violent felony offenses" under the Penal Law, they are often
					 committed by means of violence and are highly traumatic crimes that inflict
					 grievous psychological harm even when their commission does not entail actual
					 violence;
WHEREAS, the Probation-Eligible Diversion Program does not
					 presently bar the diversion from state prisons of persons convicted of felony
					 sex offenses; and
WHEREAS, there is a high degree of recidivism associated
					 with sex offenses and public confidence in the Probation-Eligible Diversion
					 Program would be seriously undermined in the event that a felony sex offender
					 was diverted under the program from a state prison sentence and committed
					 another sex offense despite community-based supervision;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE E. PATAKI, Governor of the State
					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby order the State Director of the
					 Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives to issue all necessary and
					 appropriate directives to bar the diversion under the Probation-Eligible
					 Diversion Program from state prisons of felony sex offenders.

					 State;
WHEREAS, health maintenance organizations have been

					 associations to represent their interests in utility matters before State
					 agencies and the work of these associations is an effective and direct method
					 of advancing such interests;

					 encourage multiple and diverse associations of utility ratepayers in utility
					 matters to have access to the regulatory process in order to encourage the
					 consideration of the multiple interests represented by these

WHEREAS, the Citizens' Utility Board, one of the entities
					 representing the interests of utility customers, has had access to State agency
					 mailings; and
WHEREAS, the provisions of special State privileges
					 providing access to State agency mailings to only one consumer entity is
					 contrary to the State's policy of encouraging multiple and diverse associations
					 and allowing citizens the opportunity of direct access to State
					 government;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE E. PATAKI, Governor of the State
					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and

					 welfare and health system has been hindered by inaction at the federal
					 level;
WHEREAS, rather than being a transitional means of support,
					 welfare has become a way of life for too many New Yorkers;
WHEREAS, the mission of the Department of Labor is to
					 assist citizens in accessing the labor market and promote employment
					 opportunities in the business community; and

					 Office of the State Inspector General to receive and investigate allegations of
					 fraud, abuse and corruption, to report any findings, and to recommend measures
					 to prevent the future occurrence of such misconduct; and
WHEREAS, the responsibilities and powers of the Office of
					 the State Inspector General should be broadened to strengthen its ability to
					 detect, investigate, eliminate and deter corruption, fraud, criminal activity,
					 conflicts of interest and abuse in agencies under its jurisdiction, and thereby
					 enhance and promote integrity, honesty and efficiency in State
					 government;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE E. PATAKI, Governor of the State
					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby revoke Executive Order 103 and, by

					 reform legislation entitled the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
					 Reconciliation Act of 1996";

					 affected by the shifting of costs of Medicaid and health care from the federal
					 government to state and local governments under this legislation.
