                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5409

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the correction law, in relation to health care
services for county jail inmates

 PURPOSE OF THE BILL :

This bill would allow for county jails to contract with medical
professional corporations for the provision of inmate health care
services.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1 of the bill would amend section 501 of the Correction Law to
allow a county Board of Supervisors to procure the services of a
professional partnership, a professional service corporation, a
professional service limited liability company or a registered limited
liability company, duly authorized to practice medicine in the state,
for the purpose of providing health services to the inmates of the
county jail, subject to the approval of the Attorney General.

Section 2 would make the bill effective immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Correction Law § 501, enacted in 1929 and unchanged since, provides
that each county "must appoint some reputable physician, duly
authorized to practice medicine, as the physician to the jail of the
county. If there is more than one jail they must appoint a physician
to each. The physician to a jail holds his office at the pleasure of
the board which appointed him, except in the county of Kings."

However, county legislatures, particularly upstate, have found it
increasingly difficult to identify and recruit a single physician to
serve as the physician to a jail, resulting in the need to contract
with medical care providers. Although State law prohibits the
corporate practice of medicine, individuals licensed by the New York
State Education Department to practice medicine may practice as part
of a professional partnership, a professional service corporation, a
professional service limited liability company or registered limited
liability company. Recognizing that systems for health care delivery,
particularly in the public sector, have evolved and expanded since the
statute's enactment in 1929, this bill would allow for such
comprehensive services and to ensure that contracted providers are
lawfully authorized to practice in New York.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

This bill passed the Senate in 2015 (S.4904).

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The bill would take effect immediately.
