Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend chapter 230 of the laws of 2022, amending the education law relating to diagnostic privilege, in relation to extending the effectiveness of certain provisions thereof
AI Summary
This bill extends the sunset date for certain provisions related to diagnostic privileges for mental health professionals from June 24, 2025, to June 24, 2027. Specifically, the bill amends a previous law (Chapter 230 of the Laws of 2022) that grants certain mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychoanalysts the ability to diagnose patients and develop assessment-based treatment plans. The extension means that these professionals will continue to have these diagnostic capabilities for two additional years beyond the original expiration date. The bill takes effect immediately, which allows regulatory agencies to make any necessary rule changes in preparation for the extended provisions. This type of legislative extension is common when a temporary authorization of professional privileges needs more time to be fully evaluated or implemented.
