Assemblymember Clifford Crouch Supports Timothy's Law

I have voted in support of Timothy's Law and will continue my support for
A.5659 sponsored by Peter Rivera. This bill removes the December 31, 2009
sunset date on Timothy's Law and thereby makes mental health parity
permanent in New York State. It also requires the Commissioner of Mental
Health to prepare a report on the effectiveness of Timothy's Law by March
31, 2010. Although the Governor's 2009-2010 budget does propose a one year
extension, this bill goes further and makes this important and historic
statute permanent. I fully support A.5659.

Sincerely,
Cliff
