Bill > A08343

This bill amends the New York State Education Law to authorize certain healthcare professionals licensed to practice in other jurisdictions, such as physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered professional nurses, and midwives, to provide reproductive health services in New York without first being licensed in the state. These professionals must apply for a New York license and demonstrate their intent to provide such services, and they may continue practicing until their license or certification is approved or denied. The bill excludes professionals from states or territories with substandard or nonconforming licensing requirements, as determined by the state commissioner.
