  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Section 6501 of the education law, as amended by chapter 81
of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  S  6501. Admission to a profession (licensing).  Admission to practice
of a profession in this state is accomplished by a license being  issued
to  a qualified applicant by the education department.  To qualify for a
license an applicant shall meet the requirements prescribed in the arti-
cle for the  particular  profession  and  shall  meet  the  requirements
prescribed  in  section  3-503  of the general obligations law; PROVIDED
THAT, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY,  ANY  APPLI-
CANT  WHO  IS  THE  SPOUSE OF A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED
STATES, NATIONAL GUARD OR RESERVES MAY  SUBMIT  A  SIGNED  AFFIDAVIT  TO
ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION FOR LICENSURE, STATING THAT THE ENTRIES IN THE
APPLICATION  ARE  TRUE  AND  ACCURATE,  AND  THAT DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN
REQUESTED PROVIDING SATISFACTORY  VERIFYING  EVIDENCE  OF  LICENSURE  TO
PRACTICE  AN EQUIVALENT OCCUPATION ISSUED BY ANY OTHER STATE, TERRITORY,
PROTECTORATE  OR  DEPENDENCY  OF  THE  UNITED  STATES  IN  LIEU  OF  THE
SUBMISSIONS  REQUIRED  BY THE ARTICLE OF THIS CHAPTER FOR THE PARTICULAR
PROFESSION.  THE BOARD OF REGENTS SHALL ISSUE A  LICENSE  BASED  ON  THE
APPLICATION,  PROVIDED  THAT  THE  ENTRIES IN SUCH APPLICATION SHOW THAT
SUCH LICENSE WAS GRANTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS WHICH WERE, IN THE
JUDGEMENT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS, NOT LOWER THAN THOSE OF  THIS  STATE.
IF THE BOARD FINDS REASONABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE APPLICANT FALSE-
LY AFFIRMED OR STATED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED VERIFICATION FROM
ANOTHER  STATE  OR  STATES,  THE BOARD MAY SUMMARILY SUSPEND THE LICENSE
PENDING FURTHER ACTION TO DISCIPLINE OR REVOCATION OF THE LICENSE.
  S 2. The general business law is amended by adding a new  article  2-A
