§ 6505-d. Evaluation of prior disciplinary history for authorization
to practice. An applicant seeking licensure, certification, or
authorization pursuant to this title who has been subject to
disciplinary action by a duly authorized professional disciplinary
agency of another jurisdiction solely on the basis of having performed,
recommended, or provided an abortion pursuant to section twenty-five
hundred ninety-nine-bb of the public health law, or gender-affirming
care, as defined in paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section
sixty-five hundred thirty-one-b of the education law, shall not be
denied such licensure, certification, or authorization, unless the
department determines that such action would have constituted
professional misconduct in this state. Provided however, that nothing in
this section shall be construed as prohibiting the department from
evaluating the conduct of such applicant and making a determination to
be licensed, certified, or authorized to practice a profession under
this title.
