 Introduced by Sen. FERNANDEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 4 cates who are certified or licensed by a state agency, or a state
 5 authorized entity including the New York certification board, or a
 6 nationally recognized accrediting agency or association, and are partic-
 7 ipating in the provision of corrections-based substance use disorder
 8 treatment and transition services, including but not limited to medica-
 9 tion assistant treatment, pursuant to section 19.18-c of the mental
 10 hygiene law, shall not be unreasonably denied entry into correctional
 11 facilities solely based on such advocates' history of prior incarcera-
 12 tion.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth day after it shall
 14 have become a law. Effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or
 15 repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of
 16 this act on its effective date are authorized to be made and completed
 17 on or before such effective date.
