AN  ACT  to  amend  the  public health law, in relation to practitioners
  authorized to prescribe medical marihuana

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

  Section 1. Subdivision 12 of section 3360 of the public health law, as
added by chapter 90 of the laws of 2014, is amended to read as follows:
  12. "Practitioner" means a practitioner who (i) is a physician, PHYSI-
CIAN  ASSISTANT OR NURSE PRACTITIONER, licensed OR CERTIFIED by New York
state and practicing within the state, ACTING WITHIN HIS OR  HER  LAWFUL
SCOPE  OF PRACTICE; (ii) [who] by training or experience is qualified to
treat a serious condition  as  defined  in  subdivision  seven  of  this
section; and (iii) has completed a two to four hour course as determined
by  the  commissioner  in regulation and registered with the department;
provided however, a registration shall not be denied without cause. Such
course may count toward board certification requirements.  [The  commis-
sioner  shall  consider  the inclusion of nurse practitioners under this
title based upon considerations including access and availability. After
such consideration the commissioner is authorized to deem nurse  practi-
tioners as practitioners under this title.]
  S  2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided that the amend-
ments to title 5-a of article 33 of the public health law made  by  this
act  shall  not affect the expiration and repeal of such title and shall
expire and be deemed repealed therewith.



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