2017-S7439 - Summary

Allows out of state health care professionals to perform services at the Ironman Lake Placid and the Ironman 70.3.

2017-S7439 - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S7439

SPONSOR: LITTLE
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to authorize certain health care professionals
licensed to practice in other jurisdictions to practice in this state in
connection with an event sanctioned by the World Triathlon Corporation;
and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE:

This legislation allows health care professionals to perform services at
the Ironman triathlon to be held on July 22, 2018 and Ironman 70.3 to be
held on September 9, 2018 in Lake Placid, New York.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 - allows any person who is licensed to practice as a physi-
cian, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical therapist,
chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse practitioner, emergency
medical technician or podiatrist in another state or territory, who is
in good standing in such state or territory, and who has been appointed

by World Triathlon Corporation to provide professional services to
competitors at these Ironman events.

Section 2 - provides the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The triathlon in Lake Placid is a one day 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile
bike ride which concludes with a 26.2-mile marathon. As this event is
physically taxing on the athlete, the health and safety of the partic-
ipants in the days before the event and especially during and after the
event are crucial. This legislation would allow licensed health care
professionals from other states who volunteer and are sanctioned by
World Triathlon Corporation to perform services for the athletes.

Especially important at Ironman events is the massage tent that is
available to the athletes following the race where muscle cramps and
minor aches and pains can be attended to.

Without this immediate attention, many of these competitors would
require further intensive medical intervention. The average time an
athlete spends in this area is approximately seven minutes, which is not
a formal massage treatment by any means. To service the 1,500 athletes,
licensed volunteers from other states are necessary.  Ironman 70.3 which
is the same format as the Ironman but half the distance. This event will
be held on September 9, 2018.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

Legislation of this type has been passed by the Legislature in the past
for the Olympic Games in Lake Placid in 1980 and the Goodwill Games in
New York City in 1997 as well as for the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,
2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and
2017 1ronman USA triathlons in Lake Placid.
