SHERMAN OF CONNECTICUT, AND ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON OF NEW YORK TO

DRAFT A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. THE DECLARATION COMMITTEE

OPERATED FROM JUNE 11, 1776 UNTIL JULY 5, 1776, THE DAY ON WHICH THE

DECLARATION WAS PUBLISHED. I DO NOTE THAT MR. GOTTFRIED WONDERED

WHETHER OR NOT IN THE BILL DRAFTING WORLD WHETHER THEY CONSIDER JUNE

11TH TO BE INDEPENDENCE DAY. I ASSURED HIM THAT'S PROBABLY NOT THE

CASE, BUT...

UNDER THE HEADING OF "DID YOU KNOW," DID YOU

KNOW KNOW THAT CULPER RING WAS HEADQUARTERED IN SETAUKET, NEW

YORK? LOCATED IN THE 4TH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY

OUR GOOD FRIEND, MR. ENGLEBRIGHT. THE CULPER RING WAS A GROUP OF

AMERICAN SPIES ORGANIZED BY GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON IN THE

SUMMER OF 1778 AT THE HEIGHT OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. THE RING

PROVED SUCCESSFUL, AS IT PROVIDED GENERAL WASHINGTON WITH NEWS OF

PLANNED ATTACKS AND STRATEGIES BY THE BRITISH MILITARY. A LOT OF

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 11, 2018

COLONIAL HISTORY TODAY, MR. SPEAKER.

LET ME TALK ABOUT OUR MODERN HISTORY, WHICH WILL BE

AFTERNOON. IF YOU ARE ON CODES, WAYS AND MEANS AND/OR RULES, YOU

SHOULD BE AWARE OF THOSE -- THAT THOSE COMMITTEES WILL BE MEETING AND

YOU SHOULD BE PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO CALLS FROM THE DESK.

SO, MR. SPEAKER, IF THERE ARE ANY INTRODUCTIONS OR

TO EXPLAIN HIS VOTE.

MR. SANTABARBARA: THANK YOU, MR. (SIC)

SPEAKER. THE LATEST REPORT RELEASED BY THE U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE

CONTROL SHOWS THAT ABOUT 1 IN 59 CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES ARE NOW

BEING DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM. THAT'S UP FROM 1 IN 68 IN 2012, AND THE

NUMBERS HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED IN LESS THAN 20 YEARS. THE DATA ALSO

REVEALED THAT AS AUTISM RATES CONTINUE TO CLIMB, A MAJORITY OF CHILDREN

ARE NOT DIAGNOSED UNTIL AFTER AGE FOUR. MY SON MICHAEL, WHO WILL BE

17 THIS YEAR, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED UNTIL AGE THREE. THIS DELAY MEANS THAT

MANY CHILDREN ARE NOT GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEED. SCREENING IS A

WAY TO DETECT AUTISM BEFORE THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS. BY AGE TWO, A

DIAGNOSIS BY AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL CAN NOW BE CONSIDERED VERY

RELIABLE. TO PROMOTE AND IMPROVE THE EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF AUTISM,

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS HAS PUBLISHED A -- PRACTICE

GUIDELINES THAT RECOMMEND SCREENING AT THE AGE OF 18 AND 24 MONTHS.

DESPITE THESE GUIDELINES, MOST PEDIATRIC PRACTICES DO NOT CONSISTENTLY

USE THE SCREENING. THIS BILL WILL AMEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW -- LAW

HERE IN NEW YORK STATE TO PROVIDE THESE ESSENTIAL SCREENINGS THAT

FOLLOW THE CURRENT RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES.

NYS ASSEMBLY JUNE 11, 2018

EARLY TREATMENT OF AUTISM CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY

POSITIVE IMPACT IN THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN AND THEIR

FAMILIES, AND I'M PLEASED TO CAST MY VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

REPRESENT AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS A CLAIM PENDING IN FRONT OF A STATE OR

LOCAL AGENCY, IT'S VERY SIMPLE. THEY -- THEY ARE REQUIRED BY OUR BAR

ASSOCIATION RULES TO HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEIR CLIENT ON THE

COMPENSATION, AND ONCE THEY HAVE THAT IN PLACE THEY'RE FREE TO

REPRESENT THE INDIVIDUAL. THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THAT, AND ONE

OF WHICH IS REPRESENTING A CLAIMANT BEFORE THE UNEMPLOYMENT

COMPENSATION BOARD. IN THAT CASE, THIS BILL REQUIRES THE ATTORNEY TO

FILE THEIR NAME, BUSINESS ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER. AND I WILL

SHARE WITH YOU THAT THEIR LEGAL FEE ALSO HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD EVEN THOUGH THE LEGAL FEE IS

BEING PAID NOT BY THE UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION BOARD, BUT BY THE

CLAIMANT. THIS IS ONE MORE HURDLE, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR A
