Administrative History
Senator Thomas P. Morahan (1931-2010) was first elected to the Senate in a 1999 special election. A Republican, he represented the 38th Senate District, which consists of Rockland County and the Town of Tuxedo and the Town of Warwick in Orange County. He chaired the Senate Standing Committee on Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities and was instrumental in securing passage of Timothy's Law (2006), which mandates parity in health insurance coverage for mental illness, and Jonathan's Law (2007), which gives parents and legal guardians of people receiving care in government mental health facilities the right to view records documenting allegations of abuse involving their children or wards.
