          THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
        BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

     1    Section  1.  The  commissioner  of  education is hereby authorized and
     2  directed to conduct a study on the number of children who are caregivers
     3  and how being a caregiver  impacts  the  child's  education.  "Caregiver
     4  children"  shall  be defined as students with sick, disabled, or elderly
     5  relatives that such students care for outside of school. The commission-
     6  er of education shall give recommendations based on  the  study's  find-
     7  ings. Such study shall include, but not be limited to:
     8    (a) the number of caregiver children within the state;
     9    (b) the amount of time caregiver children spend caring for relatives;
    10    (c) how being a caregiver child impacts the child's education;
    11    (d) the circumstances that lead to a child becoming a caregiver child;
    12  and
    13    (e)  any  recommendations  on  how  to reduce the negative educational
    14  impacts of being a caregiver child.
    15    § 2. Within one year of the effective date of this  act,  the  commis-
    16  sioner  of  education  shall submit a report of the commissioner's find-
    17  ings, conclusions and recommendations to  the  governor,  the  temporary
    18  president  of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, and the chairs of
    19  the senate and assembly committees on education. Such report shall  also
    20  include  such legislative proposals as such commissioner deems necessary
    21  to implement the recommendations.
    22    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
