 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 4451

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 February 5, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. ASHBY, PALUMBO -- read twice and ordered printed,
 and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Higher Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law and the state finance law, in relation
 to establishing the New York state preceptor stipend program

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "New York state preceptor stipend program".
 3 § 2. Legislative intent. New York state health care is in crisis from
 4 staffing shortages that are exacerbated by staff burnout. Quality
 5 preceptorships are an essential component of clinical professional
 6 development, and also a powerful tool for recruitment and retention in
 7 the healthcare industry. By providing supervision during clinical prac-
 8 tice and facilitating the application of theory to practice for students
 9 and staff learners, preceptors can help promote self-awareness and crit-
 10 ical thinking for students. That confidence and on-the-job training will
 11 foster a healthy mentorship and encourage future health care profes-
 12 sionals to pursue their health career in New York state. Preceptor-
 13 ships, however, are a time-consuming commitment and health care workers
 14 in New York state are hard-pressed to add more to their plates. A
 15 stipend program would incentivize health care professionals to be
 16 preceptors and take on the responsibility of training future health
 17 professionals.
 18 § 3. The education law is amended by adding a new section 6505-f to
 19 read as follows:
 20 § 6505-f. New York state preceptor stipend program. 1. Program estab-
 21 lished. The chief administrative officer of the office of the
 22 professions shall create a "New York state preceptor stipend program"
 23 for preceptor clinicians. Under such program, a stipend shall be issued
 24 out of funds made available for such program pursuant to appropriation
 25 from the legislature from the office of the professions account under

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
 LBD01968-01-5

 S. 4451 2

 1 section ninety-seven-nnn of the state finance law, and shall be released
 2 in check form to qualified preceptor clinicians. The chief administra-
 3 tive officer of the office of the professions' responsibilities shall
 4 include, but not be limited to:
 5 (a) Promulgating any necessary rules and regulations for the applica-
 6 tion and distribution of funds;
 7 (b) Creating a process to accept and subsequently register preceptor
 8 clinicians into the New York state preceptor stipend program, and a
 9 process to deny unqualified preceptor clinicians;
 10 (c) Creating an application process whereby certain criteria and qual-
 11 ifications shall be met by a preceptor clinician accepted to the
 12 program; and
 13 (d) Creating a revocation process for qualified clinical preceptor-
 14 ships that are to be terminated.
 15 2. Stipend. A resident of New York state who registers with and is
 16 accepted to the program and provides preceptor instruction as part of a
 17 clinical preceptorship shall be issued a stipend upon admittance into
 18 the program. Such stipend shall equal five thousand dollars.
 19 3. Annual review. After the program's first full year and each year
 20 thereafter duri
