AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation  to  autism  spectrum
  disorder reporting

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature finds that there  is  a
clear  need  for great accuracy in reporting and gathering epidemiologic
data on the incidence of autism spectrum disorders in  New  York  state.
Further,  the legislature finds that the state currently requires that a
number of other conditions,  including  cancer  and  birth  defects,  be
reported  and  maintained  in  a  central  registry.  A similar registry
requirement for reporting diagnoses of  autism  spectrum  disorders  and
maintaining  such information is needed to improve the current knowledge
and understanding of autism, to conduct thorough and complete  epidemio-
logic  surveys  of the disorder, to enable analysis of this problem, and
to plan for and provide services to children with autism spectrum disor-
ders and their families.
  S 2. The public health law is amended by adding a new article 24-F  to
read as follows:
                               ARTICLE 24-F
                   AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER REPORTING
SECTION 2499-B. AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER; DUTY TO REPORT.
        2499-C. REGISTRY AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
  S 2499-B. AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER; DUTY TO REPORT. 1. EVERY PHYSICIAN
OR  PSYCHOLOGIST  LICENSED PURSUANT TO ARTICLE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-FOUR OF
THE EDUCATION LAW, AND  ANY  OTHER  HEALTH  CARE  PROFESSIONAL  LICENSED
PURSUANT  TO TITLE EIGHT OF THE EDUCATION LAW WHO IS QUALIFIED BY TRAIN-
ING TO MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS AND WHO THEN MAKES THE DIAGNOSIS THAT A  CHILD
IS AFFECTED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER SHALL REPORT SUCH DIAGNOSIS TO
THE DEPARTMENT IN A FORM AND MANNER PRESCRIBED BY THE COMMISSIONER.
  2.  SUCH REPORT SHALL BE MADE IN WRITING AND SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE
LIMITED TO, THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PERSON  SUBMITTING  THE  REPORT,
THE  NAME,  AGE  AND ADDRESS OF THE CHILD DIAGNOSED WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
