New York A05238 amends the education law to allow limited permits to practice medicine to be renewed biennially. It expands the types of facilities where permit holders can practice, including hospitals, federally recognized American Indian facilities, community health centers, and private offices with sufficient supervision. The Department of Education can renew permits at its discretion but cannot deny a permit based solely on the number of previous authorizations issued to the applicant. This act takes effect immediately.
