          development programs from the determination of need for public assist-
          ance programs

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  Subparagraph  (vii)  of paragraph (a) of subdivision 8 of
     2  section 131-a of the social services law, as amended by  section  12  of
     3  part  B  of  chapter  436  of  the  laws  of 1997, is amended to read as
     4  follows:
     5    (vii) all of the income of a dependent child living with a  parent  or
     6  other  caretaker  relative,  who  is  receiving  such aid or for whom an
     7  application for such aid has been made, which is  derived  from  partic-
     8  ipation  in  (i)  the summer youth employment program, provided however,
     9  that in the case of earned income such disregard must be applied for  at
    10  least,  but no longer than the length of such program; or (ii) a program
    11  carried out under the federal job training partnership act (P.L. 97-300)

    13  income  such disregard must be applied for at least, but no longer than,
    14  six months per calendar year for each such child.  Provided  however,  a
    15  local  social services district may exempt all the income of an individ-
    16  ual, up to the age of twenty-four, which is derived from  their  partic-
    17  ipation  in  the  summer  youth  employment  program, in accordance with
    18  clause (i) of this subparagraph;
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
