BILL NUMBER:S8491
Title of bill
An act to authorize certain health care professionals licensed to prac- tice in other jurisdictions to practice in this state in connection with an event sanctioned by New York Road Runners; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
To authorize certain health care professionals to practice in this state with an event sanctioned by New York Road Runners.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Authorizes that any person who is licensed to practice as a physician, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse practitioner or podia- trist in another state or territory, who is in good standing in such state or territory and who has been appointed by the New York Road Runners to provide professional services at an event in this state sanc- tioned by the New York Road Runners, may provide such professional services to athletes and team personnel registered to train at a location in this state or registered to compete in an event conducted under the sanction of the New York Road Runners in the state without first being licensed pursuant to the provisions of title 8 of the educa- tion law. Such services shall be provided only during the time period specified by the New York Road Runners.
Section 2 -- Effective date.
Justification
There are not enough health care professionals available, within the state of New York, to meet the needs of participants in events sanc- tioned by the New York Road Runners. Accordingly, it would be advanta- geous to allow licensed health care professionals, who are in good standing with their respective state or territory, to provide such services here in New York.
