NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A4528
 
SPONSOR: Miller
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to adopting the psychol- ogy interjurisdictional compact (Part A); to amend the public health law, in relation to adopting the recognition of emergency medical services personnel licensure interstate compact (Part B); and to amend the education law, in relation to adopting the counseling compact model legislation (Part C)   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Enacts the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact, the Recognition of Emergency Medical Services Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact, and the Counseling Compact.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. This act enacts into law components of legislation relating to enacting the psychology inter-jurisdictional impact, the recognition of emergency medical services personnel licensure interstate compact, and the counseling compact model legislation. Part A: Section one amends the education law by adding section 7608, the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. Section two of Part A states the effective start date. Part B: Section one amends the public health law by adding section 3033 and creating the Recognition of emergency medical Services personnel Licensure Interstate Compact. Section two of Part B states the effective start date. Part C: Section one amends the education law by adding section 8413 and creates the Counseling Compact. Section two of Part C states the effec- tive start date. Section two establishes the severability clause. Section three states that this act shall take effect immediately.   JUSTIFICATION: The Office of the Deputy under Secretary of Defense recommends this legislation for the Military Community and Family Policy as part of their top ten priorities for States, which are important for the quality of life issues for service members and families. New York is behind when it comes to the adoption of these licensing requirements. Inconsisten- cies between states and the lack of portable employment opportunities hinder military spouses' career growth. The anticipated outcome is that states provide alternative certifications, and enhance the licensing procedures so that it fits the needs of working military families. New York can achieve this by providing education and training opportunities, reciprocal licensing agreements, and out-of-state licensing recognition. This would ensure that military spouses are able to practice their profession across state lines. According to the United States Depart- ment of Defense-State Liaison Office, this legislation aligns with the 'best practices' language that is given by the Department of Defense to partner with States to support military families.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2019-2020: Referred to Rules. 2017: A.6778; referred to higher education 2018: A.6778; referred to higher education 2022: A10609; referred to higher education   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
