BILL NUMBER:S6192

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, 2012 in Lake Placid,
New York.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1- allows any person who is licensed to practice as a
physician, physician's assistant, massage therapist, physical
therapist, chiropractor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, nurse
practitioner or podiatrist in another state or territory, who is in
good standing with such state or territory, and who has been appointed
by World Triathlon Corporation to provide professional services to
competitors at this Ironman event.

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
participants 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.

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 and
2011 Ironman USA triathlons in Lake Placid.

2011: Chapter 12
2010: Chapter 159
2009: Chapter 81
2008: Chapter 125
2007: Chapter 360


2006: Chapter 131
2005: Chapter 45
2004: Chapter 112
2003: Chapter 128
2002: Chapter 199
2001: Chapter 115

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect July 18, 2012 and shall
expire and be deemed repealed July 23, 2012.
