S 4801: Relates to the amount of state aid reimbursement for public health services by a municipality in the city of New York when the municipality is providing some or all of certain identified core public health services.
What S 4801 does, verified January 10, 2026
The bill aims to amend the public health law to change the state aid reimbursement rate for public health services provided by municipalities in the city of New York. Reimbursement rates would be at least 36% of the difference between the municipality's public health service expenses and the base grant, except for the city of New York, which would receive at least 20% of the difference. However, reimbursement for fringe benefit costs cannot exceed 50% of the municipality's eligible personnel services. The bill would also exclude reimbursement for services not eligible for state aid. The changes would take effect immediately.
