43.12 Electronic submission of periodic cost reports to the office for
        people with developmental disabilities.
Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law,  rule  or  regulation to the
  contrary, every operator of a facility which is licensed by  the  office
  for  people  with  developmental disabilities (hereinafter "office") and
  every provider of services which is subject to the regulation or control
  of the office shall submit electronically, via the internet, any  annual
  cost  report which is required to be submitted to the office pursuant to
  the provisions of section 43.02  of  this  article  and  any  rules  and
  regulations  promulgated thereunder and any other required periodic cost
  report or accounting which may be  prescribed  by  the  commissioner  of
  developmental disabilities as subject to such electronic submission. The
  office  shall  publish  and  make  available at all times on its website
  instructions for the submission of such reports or accountings  via  the
  internet,  including  instructions  relating to the use of an electronic
  signature as may  be  required  by  the  commissioner  of  developmental
  disabilities  which  signature  shall  be  subject  to, and submitted in
  accordance with, the provisions of the  state  technology  law  and  any
  rules  and  regulations promulgated thereunder. Any operator or provider
  of services that is unable to submit such cost report or  accounting  in
  accordance  with  this  section  may apply for a waiver of such required
  submission from the  commissioner  of  developmental  disabilities.  The
  commissioner  of  developmental  disabilities may grant a waiver for any
  given submission to such operator or provider of services for good cause
  shown and may grant a general waiver to all operators  or  providers  of
  services  with  respect  to  any  required  submission. On and after the
  effective date of this section, any contract entered  into  between  the
  office  and  a  provider  of  services  which  involves the provision of
  services to persons with developmental disabilities and  which  contains
  provisions  that  require  the  submission  of  any  periodic  report or
  accounting may also contain provisions that require  the  submission  of
  any  periodic  cost report or accounting required under such contract to
  be submitted electronically as set forth in this section.
