There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Optional Plans For The Provision Of Services.
§ 41.14 Optional plans for the provision of services. 1. There shall be two alternatives to state-local participation in the provision of services for the mentally disabled of the community. A local governmental unit may submit a local services plan or, in the alternative, it may submit a unified services plan. No initial unified services plan may be submitted unless the local governmental unit has given notice in writing to the single agent jointly designated by the commissioners of the offices of its intent to submit such a plan at least six months prior to the time that the unified services plan is required by this article to be submitted to the commissioner, or commissioners having jurisdiction of the services, for approval. 2. The commissioner, or commissioners having jurisdiction of the services, upon receiving such notice, shall cause an evaluation to be made of the resources available for the planning of services in the area and shall direct the appropriate department facilities to cooperate with the local governmental unit, or units, in the development of such a plan. After a unified services plan has become effective for a local fiscal year, services for the area served by the local governmental unit which has adopted such plan shall be by means of a unified services plan for each local fiscal year thereafter.
