Westside Health Services Inc

IN MAY 2014, WESTSIDE'S COUNSEL PREPARED A PETITION TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (THE COURT) FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN OF DISSOLUTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS (THE PETITION) TOGETHER WITH OTHER SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. THESE WERE PROVIDED TO THE NEW YORK STATE (NYS) ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, CHARITIES BUREAU, FOR THEIR PRELIMINARY REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS. THESE DOCUMENTS WERE FINALIZED AND APPROVED BY WESTSIDE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT ITS MEETING ON MAY 14, 2014. THE DOCUMENTS WERE SUBMITTED TO THE NYS PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL (THE COUNCIL) FOR THEIR APPROVAL, WHICH WAS STATUTORILY REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 201 OF THE NYS NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION LAW (THE LAW). THE COUNCIL DID NOT GRANT ITS APPROVAL PRIOR TO THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW WHICH WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A REVISION OF THOSE DOCUMENTS AND AN APPROVAL BY WESTSIDE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS. HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENT TO MAY 2014, WESTSIDE' BOARD OF DIRECTORS BECAME NONFUNCTIONAL. AS SUCH, IN AUGUST 2018 THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL COMMENCED ITS OWN JUDICIAL DISSOLUTION ACTION IN THE COURT. THIS APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COURT ON NOVEMBER 15, 2018.
