CFA supports A.812 (Rosenthal) and S. 3678 (Gallivan). This bill is critical for children in New York State because it will address the problems of hazardous window coverings that exist in child day centers, public institutions for children and certain other facilities. A.812 and S. 3678 requires that when new or replacement window coverings are installed by these public institutions, they install cordless window coverings or window coverings with inaccessible operational and inner cords. The bill allows for retrofitting devices to eliminate the accessible cord. Also, this bill requires that minimum standards be established for existing window coverings that minimize the risk of strangulation posed by window coverings.
