Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The elderly compose a major segment of New York State's
					 population. The particular needs and concerns of these persons must be
					 considered in the planning and implementation of all State programs and
					 services affecting their health or well-being. For this reason, it is the
					 policy of the State, pursuant to article 19-J of the Executive Law, that the
					 Office for the Aging both advise and assist the Governor in developing policies
					 addressing the needs of the elderly, and coordinate State programs and services
					 affecting the health or well-being of older persons.
THEREFORE, I, Hugh L. Carey, 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, in order to enable the Office for the Aging to more
					 effectively exercise its powers and duties, do hereby direct the Office for the
					 Aging, in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth, to review and
					 report upon proposed legislation, regulations, orders and plans involved in the
					 implementation and development of programs which have a significant impact upon
					 the health or well-being of the aging of the State and which the Governor
					 determines to be appropriate for such review.
I. Submission, Reviews and Recommendations
