The Gov'nah and Autism: The Beautiful and Ugly

Earlier this week, Governor Cuomo signed the bill finally establishing a licensing procedure for providers of applied behavioral analysis, which is a therapy method for individuals with autism. This hurdle was related to a 2011 law that Cuomo signed which dealt with insurance going to treat those with autism. The good news is that in New York, we're finally learning how to fix loopholes that can be costly.

Meanwhile, the Governor vetoed a bill that "Establishes the task force on adults with autism within the office of people with developmental disabilities". Scroll down to veto #273.

Why would anyone do that? Broken and contradictory legislation can always be fixed.
