 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. PRETLOW -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Election Law

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the practice of neuro-
 feedback therapy

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

 1 Section 1. The education law is amended by adding a new article 139-A
 2 to read as follows:
 3 ARTICLE 139-A
 4 NEUROFEEDBACK THERAPY
 5 Section 6920. Definition of practice of neurofeedback therapy.
 6 6921. Authorized practice.
 7 6922. State board of neurofeedback therapy.
 8 6923. Requirements for a license.
 9 6924. Limited permits.
 10 6925. Exempt persons.
 11 6926. Special provisions.
 12 6927. Practice restrictions.
 13 § 6920. Definition of practice of neurofeedback therapy. The practice
 14 of neurofeedback therapy is the use of sensitive instruments to measure
 15 electrophysiological processes with the purpose of reporting results to
 16 the person being measured to assist such person in controlling these
 17 processes. This can be a way to learn stress management and relaxation
 18 to prevent stress related disorders, or to reduce or eliminate the symp-
 19 toms of many syndromes. In addition to teaching self-regulation by the
 20 use of such instruments, other methods promoting health and coping
 21 skills taught by the neurofeedback therapist include, but are not limit-
 22 ed to, diaphragmatic breathing, progressive relaxation, autogenic train-
 23 ing, imagery, psychophysiological therapy and cognitive restructuring.

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