This bill prohibits new for-profit hospices from being established or incorporated and bans any capacity increases for existing for-profit hospices. It directly affects for-profit hospice care providers and future hospice developers by blocking new entries into the for-profit hospice market and preventing expansion of current for-profit facilities. The key provision, added to public health law, bans all approvals for for-profit hospice operations or capacity expansions effective immediately. This applies to all new applications and existing facilities operating under a for-profit model. The law takes effect as soon as signed, with no grace period for compliance.
S 8902 amends New York's social services law to ensure that medical assistance recipients (such as Medicaid beneficiaries) cannot access school-based health center services through managed care programs until at least April 1, 2026. The bill adds a specific provision requiring these services to be provided outside of managed care arrangements during that period. This directly affects medical assistance recipients who use school-based health centers and the managed care organizations that coordinate their care. The law takes effect immediately, but the amendment expires when the underlying section of the law is repealed.
This bill temporarily allows out-of-state health professionals (like doctors, nurses, or physical therapists) to provide services at the Ironman Lake Placid 2026 event without needing a New York license. It applies only to those in good standing in their home state, appointed by the World Triathlon Corporation, and serving athletes or teams registered for the event. Services are limited to four days before through one day after the July 19, 2026 race, and the exemption expires on July 22, 2026. The bill directly affects participating health professionals and event attendees, with no broader impact on healthcare practice in New York.
Excludes one-time federal assistance in the calculation of operating revenue for purposes of minimum direct resident care spending by residential health care facilities.
S 3437 prohibits the approval of any new for-profit hospices or expansions of existing for-profit hospice capacity. It directly affects for-profit hospice operators by banning new licenses and preventing increases in beds or services for currently operating for-profit facilities. The bill amends public health law to require all hospice approvals (on or after its effective date) to exclude for-profit models entirely. The measure takes effect immediately upon enactment.
