BILL NUMBER:S5380B
Title of bill
An act to authorize certain health care professionals licensed to practice in other jurisdictions to practice in this state in connection with an event sanctioned by the World Police and Fire Games Federation; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
Purpose
This legislation allows health care professionals to perform services at the 2011 World police and Fire Games athletic events to be held between August 26 through September 5, 2011.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- allows any person who is licensed to practice as a physician, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical therapist, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse practitioner, podiatrist, athletic trainer, emergency medical technician, or paramedic in another state or territory, who is in good standing with such state or territory, and who has been appointed by the 2011 police and Fire Games to provide professional services to competitors at these events.
Section 2- provides the effective date.
Justification
The World police and Fire Games are eleven days of sports competition and specially planned events in New York City, which will respectively coincide with the ten year remembrance of September 11, 2011. As these events are physically taxing on the athlete, the health and safety of the participants in the days before the events and especially during and after the events is crucial. A shortage of health care professionals at such events would be detrimental to the health and safety of the competitors during these physically demanding times. This legislation would allow licensed health care professionals from other states who volunteer and are sanctioned by the 2011 World police and Fire Games to perform services for the athletes.
Legislative history
Legislation of this type has been passed by the Legislature in the past for the Olympic Games in Lake Placid in 1980 and the Goodwill Games in New York City in 1997 as well as for the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Ironman USA triathlons in Lake Placid.
2010: Chapter 159
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
This act shall take effect August 22, 2011 (four days prior to the event) and shall expire and be deemed repealed September 6, 2011 (one day following the event).
