BILL NUMBER:S2324 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to health care practitioner professional education in the area of elderly abuse PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To establish standards for training requirements for many health care practitioners that have a license from the State Education Department regarding the identification of elderly abuse. Those professions who are now required to obtain continuing education for child abuse would need to receive some information on elder abuse. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends Education Law section 6507(3) (a) to have the Commissioner of Education to establish standards requiring that all persons applying initially or for the renewal of a license or registration to be a physician, chiropractor, dentist, registered nurse, podiatrist, optometrist, psychiatrist, psychologist, or dental hygienist complete one hour of course work or training regarding the identification and reporting of elderly abuse and maltreatment. Under current law, there is a 2 hour requirement to identify and report child abuse. This bill increases the hours of instruction by one more hour to be devoted to elder abuse issues.
