N.Y. Public Health Law § 2401-a: Skin cancer reporting

§ 2401-a. Skin cancer reporting. The department shall submit a written

report every three years, commencing January first, two thousand

eighteen, to the governor and the legislature on the incidence of skin

cancer in the state of New York, by type and as a percentage of the

overall number of reported cases of all types of cancer, as well as the

associated causes of each type of skin cancer, if such causes are

readily ascertainable. Such report shall be generated based on data

gathered and reviewed pursuant to this title, and shall provide

information which is as current as practicable; provided, however, a

retrospective of the past ten years of information collected pursuant to

this title and predominant trends associated with such information, as

concerns skin cancer and its associated causes, shall be a component of

such report and each report submitted thereafter. At the discretion of

the commissioner, such reports may provide additional information other

than the information required by this section. The first report created

pursuant to this section shall be submitted one year after the effective

date of this section. The reports generated pursuant to this section

shall be made available to the public on the department's website.
