BILL NUMBER:S5380B

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 Police and Fire Games Federation;
and providing for the
repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

PURPOSE:
This legislation allows health care professionals to perform services
at the 2011 World police and Fire Games athletic events to be held
between August 26 through September 5, 2011.

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, podiatrist, athletic trainer, emergency medical
technician, or paramedic in another state or territory, who is in
good standing with such state or territory, and who has been
appointed by the 2011 police and Fire Games to provide professional
services to competitors at these events.

Section 2- provides the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
The World police and Fire Games are eleven days of sports competition
and specially planned events in New York City, which will
respectively coincide with the ten year remembrance of September 11,
2011. As these events are physically taxing on the athlete, the
health and safety of the participants in the days before the events
and especially during and after the events is crucial. A shortage of
health care professionals at such events would be detrimental to the
health and safety of the competitors during these physically
demanding times. This legislation would allow licensed health care
professionals from other states who volunteer and are sanctioned by
the 2011 World police and Fire Games to perform services for the
athletes.

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 and 2010 Ironman USA triathlons in
Lake Placid.

2010: Chapter 159

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:


This act shall take effect August 22, 2011 (four days prior to the
event) and shall expire and be deemed repealed September 6, 2011 (one
day following the event).
