What it does

This bill would require that the committee on city healthcare services include at least 3 members who represent healthcare stakeholders that provide care to vulnerable populations, including, but not limited to, low-income populations; communities of color; older adult populations; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender populations. This bill would also require the committee to provide a summary of the steps taken to implement the committee’s recommendations from the previous report, to post such report on the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s website, and provide a community survey or hearing to receive input from the public.
