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.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD03984-01-1
