BILL NUMBER: S9236

SPONSOR: ORTT
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to adopting the inter-
state nurse licensure compact (Part A); and to amend the education law,
in relation to adopting the advanced practice registered nurse compact
(Part B)

 
PURPOSE:

To enact the Interstate Nurse Licensure Compact and the Advanced Prac-
tice Registered Nurse Compact.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one enacts into law components of legislation to enact the
interstate nurse licensure compact and advanced practice registered
nurse compact, including Parts A and B.

Part A, Section one amends the education law by adding section 6912, the

interstate nurse licensure compact.

Section two of Part A states the effective date.

Part B, Section one amends the education law by adding section 6913, the
advanced practice registered nurse compact.

Section two of Part B establishes the effective date.

Section two establishes a severability clause. Section three establishes
the effective date.

 
EXISTING LAW:

None

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The Office of the Deputy under Secretary of Defense recommends this
legislation for the Military Community and Family Policy as part of
their top ten priorities for States, which are important for the quality
of life issues for service members and families. New York is behind when
it comes to the adoption of these licensing requirements.  Inconsisten-
cies between states and the lack of portable employment opportunities
hinder military spouses' career growth.

The anticipated outcome is that states provide alternative certif-
ications, and enhance the licensing procedures so that it fits the needs
of working military families. New York can achieve this by providing
education and training opportunities, reciprocal licensing agreements,
and out-of-state licensing recognition. This would ensure that military
spouses are able to practice their profession across state lines.

According to the United States Department of Defense-State Liaison
Office, this legislation aligns with the 'best practices' language that
is given by the Department of Defense to partner with States to support
military families.

 or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judg-
 ment shall have been rendered. It is hereby declared to be the intent of
 the legislature that this act would  have  been  enacted  even  if  such
