BILL NUMBER: S9033

SPONSOR: STAVISKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to allowing for a limited
permit to be obtained to practice as a chiropractor

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF BILL:

Section 1 amends the education law by creating a new section 6557, which
would create a limited permit for chiropractic.

Section 2 provides the effective date (immediately).

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The COVID-19 state of emergency has obstructed the administration of
in-person simulations and examinations required for professional licen-
sure. For the profession of chiropractic, the national licensing exam-
ination is administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners

(NBCE). There are four parts to the chiropractic examination, and Part
IV involves hands-on testing. As a result of COVID-19, Part IV has been
canceled, and there is no way of knowing when it can be rescheduled and
safely administered.

Every other profession that is licensed in New York has a limited permit
provision that allows graduates an avenue to obtain a license and prac-
tice under supervision until such time as they can sit for their
required examination and receive their license to practice in New York.
The chiropractic profession is the only profession which does not have a
limited permit provision. This means that graduates of schools of
chiropractic have no way to practice in New York upon graduation, even
with on-site supervision by a licensed practitioner.

A limited permit would allow a graduate of a chiropractic school to
practice in New York, under the supervision of a licensed individual in
order to protect public health and safety, until such time as the gradu-
ate can complete all of the requisite testing required to receive their
national certification, which would then allow them to be licensed in
New York. This change will classify chiropractic graduates in the same
manner as all other professions' graduates.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

Nominal.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
