Governor George E. Pataki signed legislation to enact Timothy's Law, which will require insurance companies to provide health insurance coverage for individuals with mental illnesses. The new law is named after Timothy O'Clair, a 12-year old boy from Schenectady County who had an emotional disorder, but was unable to obtain mental health services under his parent's health insurance coverage.
