 Introduced by Sen. RAMOS -- (at request of the Workers Compensation
 Board) -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be
 committed to the Committee on Labor

 AN ACT to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to removing
 parallel processes for authorization of certain providers; and repeal-
 ing certain provisions of such law relating thereto

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 13-k of the workers' compensation
 2 law, as amended by section 4 of part CC of chapter 55 of the laws of

 4 2. An employee injured under circumstances which make such injury
 5 compensable under this article, when care is required for an injury to
 6 the foot which injury or resultant condition therefrom may lawfully be
 7 treated by a duly registered and licensed podiatrist of the state of New
 8 York, may select to treat [him or her] such employee any podiatrist
 9 authorized by the chair to render podiatric medical care, as hereinafter
 10 provided. If the injury or condition is one which is without the limits
 11 prescribed by the education law for podiatric medical care and treat-
 12 ment, or the injuries involved affect other parts of the body in addi-
 13 tion to the foot, the said podiatrist must so advise the said injured
 14 employee and instruct [him or her] said employee to consult a physician
 15 of said employee's choice for appropriate care and treatment. Such
 16 physician shall thenceforth have overall supervision of the treatment of
 17 said patient including the future treatment to be administered to the
 18 patient by the podiatrist. If for any reason during the period when
 19 podiatric medical treatment and care is required, the employee wishes to
 20 transfer [his or her] their treatment and care to another authorized
 21 podiatrist [he or she] the employee may do so, in accordance with rules
 22 prescribed by the chair, provided however that the employer shall be
