N.Y. Education Law § 6505-d: Evaluation of prior disciplinary history for authorization to practice

§ 6505-d. Evaluation of prior disciplinary history for authorization

to practice. An applicant seeking licensure, certification, or

authorization pursuant to this title who has been subject to

disciplinary action by a duly authorized professional disciplinary

agency of another jurisdiction solely on the basis of having engaged in

legally protected health activity, as defined by section 570.17 of the

criminal procedure law, shall not be denied such licensure,

certification, or authorization, unless the department determines that

such action would have constituted professional misconduct in this

state. Provided however, that nothing in this section shall be construed

as prohibiting the department from evaluating the conduct of such

applicant and making a determination to be licensed, certified, or

authorized to practice a profession under this title.
