NPNY Legislative Update: NYS 2014-2015 Budget & More

NP Modernization Act

NYS Budget passed on April 1st, 2014 and includes the Nurse Practitioner Modernization Act. A significant change in reducing barriers to practice will be for experienced NPs practicing more than 3600 hours and for the NYS NP practice environment to be studied through the Center for Health Work Force Studies.

Preventing Surprise Medical Bills

Another important piece of legislation NPNY advocated for this year was also included in the NYS Budget including preventing surprise medical bills. See NYS Budget Press Release for more information.

Thank you to our Advocacy and Policy Team for many years of hard work and everyone who came out for our Annual Advocacy Day last month in Albany. Everyone worked hard advocating for meaningful and positive practice environment in NY State. Please look out for details and specifics in the coming months.
