BILL NUMBER: S1229

SPONSOR: ORTT
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to adopting the psychol-
ogy interjurisdictional compact (Part A); to amend the public health
law, in relation to adopting the recognition of emergency medical
services personnel licensure interstate compact (Part B); and to amend
the education law, in relation to adopting the counseling compact model
legislation (Part C)

 
PURPOSE:

Enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, the Recognition of
Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact, and
the Counseling Compact.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. This act enacts into law components of legislation relating
to enacting the psychology inter-jurisdictional impact, the recognition

of emergency medical services personnel licensure interstate compact,
and the counseling compact model legislation.

Part A: Section one amends the education law by adding section 7608, the
Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. Section two of Part A states the
effective start date.

Part B: Section one amends the public health law by adding section 3033
and creating the Recognition of emergency medical Services personnel
Licensure Interstate Compact. Section two of Part B states the effective
start date.

Part C: Section one amends the education law by adding section 8413 and
creates the Counseling Compact. Section two of Part C states the effec-
tive start date.

Section 2 establishes the severability clause.

Section 3 states that this act shall take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Office of the Deputy under Secretary of Defense recommends this
legislation for the Military Community and Family Policy as part of
their top ten priorities for States, which are important for the quality
of life issues for service members and families. New York is behind when
it comes to the adoption of these licensing requirements.  Inconsisten-
cies between states and the lack of portable employment opportunities
hinder military spouses' career growth.

The anticipated outcome is that states provide alternative certif-
ications, and enhance the licensing procedures so that it fits the needs
of working military families. New York can achieve this by providing
education and training opportunities, reciprocal licensing agreements,
and out-of-state licensing recognition. This would ensure that military
spouses are able to practice their profession across state lines.

According to the United States Department of Defense-State Liaison
Office, this legislation aligns with the 'best practices' language that
is given by the Department of Defense to partner with States to support
military families.
