BILL NUMBER:S4355

Title of bill

An act to amend the public health law, in relation to telemedicine and telehealth; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating thereto

Purpose

This legislation would consolidate provisions relating to telemedicine and telehealth into a single article of the public health law; repealer.

Summary of specific provisions

Section 1 would repeal section 2111 of the public health law.

Section 2 would repeal section 2805-u of the public health law, telemedicine credentialing, which becomes section 3910 of the public health law under section 6 of the bill.

Section three would amend the opening paragraph of paragraph (uu) of subdivision 1 of section 2807-v of the public health law to direct that funds be available for telemedicine and telehealth demonstration programs authorized under section thirty-nine hundred thirteen.

Section 4 would repeal public health law section 3614 subdivision 3-c. This provision is reenacted as section 3913 of the public health law under section 6 of the bill.

Section 5 would repeal public health law section 3614 subdivision 11 paragraph (a) Subparagraph (i). This section is reenacted as section 3912 of the public health law under section 6 of the bill.

Section 7 states the enactment date.

Justification

This legislation would allow clear delineation of the statutory permissions and requirements applicable to telehealth and telemedicine by consolidating all public health law provisions related to these services in one place. This is especially useful as these innovative healthcare tools become more prevalent in our ever advancing society. It does not make any substantive changes to the law, but provides one cohesive act to encompass all telehealth and telemedicine related provisions.
