                                BILL NUMBER:A1015A

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the education law, in relation to the
abolition of citizenship requirements for licensure in certain
professions

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To eliminate the licensure requirement
of citizenship or permanent residence in those professions in which such
requirement exists.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill would amend subdivision 6 of
section 6524, 6554, 6604, 6609, 6704, 6711, 6805, 6955, 7206, 7206-a,
7324, 7504 and subdivision 5 of section 7804 of the Education Law to
eliminate citizenship or permanent residence immigration status present-
ly required in the following professions:

Certified Shorthand Reporting           Massage
Chiropractic                            Medicine
Dental Hygiene                          Midwifery
Dentistry                               Pharmacy
Landscape Architecture                  Professional Engineering
Land Surveying                          Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary Technology

JUSTIFICATION: Under the present provisions of the Education Law, candi-
dates  for  licensure  in  13  of the 39 professions credentialed by the

Department must attain citizenship or the immigration status  of  perma-
nent  residence  in  the  United  States.  Because of the length of time
involved in attaining  either  status,  entry  into  practice  is  often
significantly delayed for many candidates otherwise qualified.

The immigration status requirement inhibits interstate mobility, and, at
times, minority access to licensure. It has no bearing upon professional
competence  and is arbitrary in that it applies to some, but not all, of
the licensed professions.

Enactment of this bill is necessary to facilitate  the  purpose  of  the
Trade  Agreement  between the United States and Canada, under which both
countries have agreed to work toward  the  elimination  of  barriers  to
professional  mobility  for  practitioners who meet equivalent standards
for licensure. The European Economic Community has gone much further, by
providing that a license from any member is valid throughout the  commu-
nity.  This  bill would retain New York's authority to license and regu-
late practice in this State, but would eliminate an arbitrary and unnec-
essary requirement. New York Licensees  would  benefit  from  reciprocal
action by the provinces.

The present law has also presented particular problems for professionals
who  have  been  offered  academic  or clinical appointments in New York
State institutions or who work for large corporations that  do  business
in a number of different states.
