        Introduced  by  Sen.  LITTLE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Health
        AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing one or

     9  section  twenty-nine hundred fifty-one of this chapter.  Such plan shall
    10  be approved by the department to operate under this subparagraph in  one

    20  111  of  part H of chapter 59 of the laws of 2011, as amended, and shall
    21  be deemed to expire therewith; provided, further, that the amendments to
