AN ACT to amend the limited liability company law, the  business  corpo-
  ration  law, the partnership law, the public health law and the educa-
  tion law, in relation to allowing psychologists licensed  under  title
  VIII,  article  153  of  the  education  law to form limited liability
  companies

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  intent. This bill would authorize physicians
and psychologists to  form  limited  liability  companies,  professional
corporations and partnerships with one another. In the last two decades,
practice  in  and  among  the health professions has changed. Artificial
barriers in current  law  prohibit  multidisciplinary  practices,  which
prevents  physicians  and other providers, including psychologists, from
co-owning a practice and collaborating and coordinating on patient care.
Such restraints should not prevail, as they are  no  longer  in  keeping
with  best practices in modern health care which espouse the integration
of behavioral and physical health.
  S 2. Subdivision (a) of section 1203 of the limited liability  company
law,  as  amended by chapter 554 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read
as follows:
  (a) Notwithstanding the education law or any other provision  of  law,
one  or more professionals each of whom is authorized by law to render a
professional service within the state, or one or more professionals,  at
least  one of whom is authorized by law to render a professional service
within the state, may form,  or  cause  to  be  formed,  a  professional
service  limited liability company for pecuniary profit under this arti-
cle for the purpose of rendering the professional service or services as
