S 3146 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to authorizing certain health care professionals licensed to practice in other jurisdictions to practice in this state

This bill allows healthcare professionals licensed in other states (including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and midwives) to provide reproductive health services in this state without first obtaining a local license. It requires applicants to submit a letter of intent, employer verification, and start date/location details while applying for licensure. Providers must maintain good standing in their home state and comply with all applicable regulations during the temporary practice period. The provision does not apply to professionals from states with licensing standards deemed substandard by the commissioner. This law directly affects reproductive health providers seeking to serve patients across state lines.
