Allows individuals to use correspondence from a licensed physician to recertify for paratransit service instead of in-person assessment.

New York Assembly Bill A07554 amends the public authorities law to allow individuals to use correspondence from a licensed physician, dated within the preceding thirty days, indicating that paratransit service is necessary for them, in place of an in-person recertification assessment. The authority will establish rules and regulations regarding the form and content of the physician's correspondence. This change aims to streamline the recertification process for those needing paratransit services.
