                                 BILL NUMBER:  S2762

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend chapter 192 of the laws of 2011,
relating to authorizing certain health care professionals licensed to
practice in other jurisdictions to practice in this state in
connection with an event sanctioned by New York Road Runners, in
relation to extending the provisions thereof

 PURPOSE :

To authorize certain licensed health care professionals from other
jurisdictions to practice in New York State with respect to six major
events sanctioned by New York Road Runners.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1-Authorizes that any person who is licensed to practice as a
physician, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical
therapist, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse
practitioner, certified athletic trainer or podiatrist in another
state or territory, who is in good standing in such state or territory
and who has been appointed by the New York Road Runners to provide
professional services at an event in this state sanctioned by the New
York Road Runners, may provide such professional services to athletes
and team personnel registered to train at a location in this state or
registered to compete in an event conducted under the sanction of the

New York Road Runners in the state without first being licensed
pursuant to the provisions of Title 8 of the Education Law. Such
services may be provided only four days before the following events,
during the following events, and one day after the following events:

Event                                        Date


Staten Island Half                           10.08.2017
New York City Marathon                       11.05.2017
Brooklyn Half                                05.20.2017
Bronx Half                                   09.24.2017
Queens 10K                                   06.17.2017
New York City Half                           03.19.2017

Section 2-Effective date.

 JUSTIFICATION :

There are not enough health care professionals available, within the
State of New York, to meet the needs of participants in certain major
events sanctioned by the New York Road Runners, including the New York
City Marathon. Accordingly, it would be advantageous to allow licensed
health care professionals, who are in good standing with their
respective state or territory, to provide such services here in New
York.

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

This is effectively a one year extender of legislation that has
historically passed each year, such as Chapter 39 of the Laws of 2016.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
Immediately and shall expire and be deemed repealed January 31, 2018.
