AI Summary
This bill amends the education law in New York to grant licensed psychologists the authority to prescribe drugs, subject to certain requirements. It defines key terms such as "psychologists authorized to prescribe," "prescriptive authority," and "controlled substances." The bill outlines the initial application requirements for psychologists seeking prescriptive authority, including completing specialized education and training, passing an approved examination, and obtaining relevant clinical experience. It also establishes a process for renewing prescriptive authority and regulates prescribing practices, including requirements for psychologists to maintain records and prohibitions on delegating prescriptive authority. The bill directs the state board for psychology to promulgate rules and regulations, and to coordinate with the state board of pharmacy to maintain records of authorized psychologists.
