Bill > A06035

This bill: Regulates the practice of naturopathic medicine in New York, establishing a state board for naturopathic medicine and requirements to receive a limited permit or license to practice naturopathic medicine. It sets standards for training, education, and continuing education for naturopathic doctors, and requires them to report suspected child abuse. The bill also amends various other laws to incorporate naturopathic doctors into provisions related to limited liability companies, partnerships, health services, and clinical laboratories. The bill will take effect 540 days after becoming law, allowing time for the Commissioner of Education and Board of Regents to implement the new requirements, including appointing the state board.
