In August 2005, New York State Legislature passed "Billy's Law" which is requiring biannual reports of State and local monitoring of out-of-state residential facilities that house New York State children who are placed in such facilities for specialized services including specialized educational services. Reports are to be produced on first day of September and February, containing name and location of each facility, number of children placed, general population served by each facility, the number of individuals served, the age, race, gender and nature of any disabilities and the types of services provided by each out of state facility.
