AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the educational prepa-
  ration for practice of professional nursing

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

  Section 1. The legislature hereby finds and  declares  that  with  the
increasing  complexity  of  the  American  healthcare system and rapidly
expanding technology, the  educational  preparation  of  the  registered
professional  nurse  must  be  expanded. The nurse of the future must be
prepared to partner with multiple  disciplines  as  a  collaborator  and
manager  of  the complex patient care journey. Shorter lengths of stays,
higher patient acuity, and more sophisticated  technologies  and  proce-
dures  are  increasing  the  complexity  of patient care - which in turn
places great  demands  on  nursing  competencies.  Other  countries  are
responding  to these changes by requiring the baccalaureate degree as an
entry requirement for nursing  licensure  while  other  professions  are
demanding  master  and  doctoral  degrees  as their entry point. Several
recent research studies clearly demonstrate the  added  value  of  addi-
tional  education  in  relation  to improved patient outcomes; one study
demonstrates that each ten percent increase in the number  of  baccalau-
reate  prepared  nurses  results  in a five percent decrease in surgical
patient deaths. Therefore, the  legislature  finds  that  expanding  the

                                                           LBD00932-01-7

A. 1842                             2

educational  requirements for the profession of nursing, while maintain-
ing the multiple entry points into the  profession,  is  needed.    This
legislation  affects  future  nurses graduating from associate degree or
diploma nursing programs who would be required to obtain a baccalaureate
in  nursing  within  ten  years of initial licensure. All current nurses
licensed in New York and students in programs preparing  for  registered
professional  nursing  are  to  be exempt from the new requirement. This
legislation is mirrored after the progressive education requirement  for
teachers  in  New York state. Numerous regulatory and accrediting bodies
have recommended this change as a means to address sophisticated patient
care needs resulting from shorter lengths of  stay,  higher  acuity  and
more sophisticated interventions. This proposal is the result of a grow-
ing  body  of  research  evidence  that  additional education results in
better patient outcomes. Therefore by requiring the baccalaureate degree
for continued registration  as  a  registered  professional  nurse  this
legislation  seeks  to  be  responsive  to meet the increasingly complex
health care needs of the residents of New York state.
  § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 6905 of the education law, as amended by
chapter 994 of the laws of 1971 and such section as renumbered by  chap-
ter 50 of the laws of 1972, is amended to read as follows:
  (2)  Education: have received an education, and a diploma or degree in
professional nursing, in accordance with the commissioner's regulations,
AND IN ORDER TO  CONTINUE  TO  MAINTAIN  REGISTRATION  AS  A  REGISTERED
PROFESSIONAL  NURSE  IN  NEW  YORK  STATE, HAVE ATTAINED A BACCALAUREATE
DEGREE IN NURSING WITHIN TEN YEARS OF INITIAL  LICENSURE  IN  ACCORDANCE
WITH  THE COMMISSIONER'S REGULATIONS. THE DEPARTMENT, IN ITS DISCRETION,
MAY ISSUE A CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION TO A LICENSEE WHO FAILS TO COMPLETE
THE BACCALAUREATE DEGREE BUT WHO AGREES TO MEET THE ADDITIONAL  REQUIRE-
MENT  WITHIN ONE YEAR. THE FEE FOR SUCH A CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION SHALL
BE THE SAME AS, AND IN ADDITION TO, THE FEE FOR THE TRIENNIAL  REGISTRA-
TION.  THE  DURATION  OF  SUCH CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION SHALL BE FOR ONE
YEAR AND MAY BE EXTENDED, WITH THE PAYMENT OF A FEE, FOR  NO  MORE  THAN
ONE  ADDITIONAL  YEAR.  ANY  LICENSEE WHO IS NOTIFIED OF THE DENIAL OF A
REGISTRATION FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL REQUIRE-
MENTS AND WHO PRACTICES AS A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL NURSE WITHOUT  SUCH
REGISTRATION  MAY  BE  SUBJECT  TO  DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO
SECTION SIXTY-FIVE HUNDRED TEN OF THIS TITLE;
  § 3. The provisions of this act shall not apply to:
  a. any student entering  a  generic  baccalaureate  program  preparing
registered professional nurses after the effective date of this act;
  b. any student currently enrolled in, or having an application pending
in,  a  program  preparing registered nurses as of the effective date of
this act;
  c. any person already licensed as a registered professional  nurse  or
any  unlicensed  graduate professional nurse who is eligible to take the
National Council Licensure Examination as of the effective date of  this
act.
  §  4.  This  act shall take effect immediately and the commissioner of
education is authorized to promulgate any rule or  regulation  necessary
to implement the provisions of this act.

entry requirement for nursing  licensure  while  other  professions  are
demanding  master  and  doctoral  degrees  as their entry point. Several
recent research studies clearly demonstrate the  added  value  of  addi-
tional  education in relation to improved patient outcomes. The legisla-
ture finds that expanding the educational requirements for  the  profes-

York state.
  § 2. 1. A temporary commission, to be known  as  the  nursing  program
evaluation  commission  (hereinafter "commission"), is hereby created to
make recommendations on the following:
  a. barriers to entry into  nursing,  including,  but  not  limited  to
cultural barriers, economic barriers, and compliance barriers;
  b.  the  availability  and access to baccalaureate programs, including
such  availability  and  access  for  non-traditional  students,   rural
students, and students of diverse cultural backgrounds;
  c. the financial barriers to entry into baccalaureate programs; and
  d.  other  alternative  equivalents  through  which  nurses may obtain
training and experience.
  2. The commission shall  consist  of  nine  members  as  follows:  two
members  shall  be appointed by the speaker of the assembly; two members
shall be appointed by the temporary president of the senate; one  member
shall  be  appointed  by  the  minority leader of the senate; one member
shall be appointed by the minority leader of  the  assembly;  and  three
members shall be appointed by the governor. The commission members shall
be  appointed  within  60  days  after this act shall have become a law.
Members so appointed shall be representative of patient advocates, nurs-
es, and related health care professionals. At least one member shall  be
a  nurse  and a member of a duly recognized collective bargaining organ-
ization and does not have a supervisory or managerial role. At least one
member shall be a RN in nursing higher education with  academic  creden-
tials  from  a school that has a baccalaureate and higher degree nursing
programs. No member, officer or employee  of  the  commission  shall  be
disqualified  from  holding  any  other public office or employment, nor
shall he or she forfeit any such office or employment by reason  of  his
or  her  appointment  hereunder,  notwithstanding  the provisions of any
general, special or local law, ordinance or city charter.
  3. The members of the commission shall  receive  no  compensation  for
their services, but shall be allowed their actual and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of their duties hereunder.
  4.  The  commission shall make a report of its findings, including any
recommendations for legislative action as  it  may  deem  necessary  and

A. 1842--B                          3

appropriate,  to  the  governor and the legislature no later than twelve
months after this act shall have become a law.
  § 3. Subdivision 2 of section 6905 of the education law, as amended by
chapter  994 of the laws of 1971 and such section as renumbered by chap-
ter 50 of the laws of 1972, is amended to read as follows:
  (2) Education: have received an education, and a diploma or degree  in

DEGREE  OR  HIGHER  IN  NURSING WITHIN TEN YEARS OF INITIAL LICENSURE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMMISSIONER'S REGULATIONS. THE DEPARTMENT,  IN  ITS
DISCRETION, MAY ISSUE A CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION TO A LICENSEE WHO FAILS
TO  COMPLETE  THE  BACCALAUREATE DEGREE BUT WHO AGREES TO MEET THE ADDI-
TIONAL REQUIREMENT WITHIN ONE YEAR.  THE  FEE  FOR  SUCH  A  CONDITIONAL
REGISTRATION  SHALL  BE THE SAME AS, AND IN ADDITION TO, THE FEE FOR THE
TRIENNIAL REGISTRATION. THE DURATION OF  SUCH  CONDITIONAL  REGISTRATION
SHALL  BE  FOR  ONE YEAR AND MAY BE EXTENDED, WITH THE PAYMENT OF A FEE,
FOR NO MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR, UNLESS THE APPLICANT CAN SHOW GOOD
CAUSE FOR NON-COMPLIANCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE DEPARTMENT. ANY LICENSEE  WHO
IS  NOTIFIED OF THE DENIAL OF A REGISTRATION FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE
ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND WHO PRACTICES  AS  A  REGISTERED
PROFESSIONAL NURSE WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION MAY BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLI-
NARY  PROCEEDINGS  PURSUANT  TO  SECTION  SIXTY-FIVE HUNDRED TEN OF THIS
TITLE;
  § 4. The provisions of this act shall not apply to:

this act;
  c. any person already licensed as a registered professional  nurse  or
