Introduced by M. of A. WEPRIN -- read once and referred to the Committee
  on Corporations, Authorities and Commissions

AN  ACT  to amend the limited liability company law, the business corpo-
  ration law, the partnership law, the public health law and the  educa-
  tion  law,  in relation to allowing psychologists licensed under title
  VIII, article 153 of the  education  law  to  form  limited  liability
  companies

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-

of behavioral and physical health.
  S  2. Subdivision (a) of section 1203 of the limited liability company
law, as separately amended by chapters 420 and 676 of the laws of  2002,
is amended to read as follows:
  (a)  Notwithstanding  the education law or any other provision of law,
one or more professionals each of whom is authorized by law to render  a
professional  service within the state, or one or more professionals, at
least one of whom is authorized by law to render a professional  service
within  the  state,  may  form,  or  cause  to be formed, a professional
service limited liability company for pecuniary profit under this  arti-
cle for the purpose of rendering the professional service or services as
such professionals are authorized to practice. With respect to a profes-
