 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to licensing of genetic
 counselors

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. The legislature finds that
 2 while significant steps have been taken through legislation in response
 3 to the COVID-19 crisis in New York State, much more must be done to
 4 combat the continued threat to public health and safety presented by
 5 COVID-19 and future pandemics including identifying risk factors, devel-
 6 oping responses, and increasing access to treatment.
 7 The legislature intends to build on the initial efforts of the execu-
 8 tive and legislature in responding to the COVID-19 crisis by recognizing
 9 the significant role genetic counselors play in identifying genetic
 10 variants through predictive testing, investigating underlying genomic
 11 susceptibilities and deciphering complex testing infrastructures, culmi-
 12 nating in the critical counseling of patients and educating other health
 13 care providers.
 14 The legislature finds that the state's mission to ensure preparedness
 15 against future health crises through data collection, research, and
 16 access to safe care will be advanced through the licensure of genetic
 17 counselors and the active engagement of these uniquely trained practi-
 18 tioners and researchers in the making of informed personal health care
 19 decisions and the development of effective health care policies.
 20 § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new article 142 to read
 21 as follows:

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