N.Y. Public Health Law § 3507: Registration

§ 3507. Registration. 1. A license shall be valid during the life of

the holder unless revoked, annulled or suspended by the commissioner. A

practicing licensee must register with the department.

2. The commissioner shall promulgate such rules and regulations as are

necessary to effectuate the provisions of this section including, but

not limited to, establishing staggered registration periods and the

beginning dates thereof; assigning licensees to specific registration

periods through appropriate classification or grouping; setting deadline

dates for making application for registration; prescribing the form and

content of the certificate of registration; and establishing other

reasonable requirements, including appropriate proration of registration

fees.

3. A person licensed under this article must register with the

department prior to commencing practice. The department shall register

each licensee who submits an application on a form prescribed by the

commissioner and who pays a registration fee of twenty dollars per year.

4. Any licensee authorized to practice under this article, undertaking

practice for the first time or resuming practice after a voluntary lapse

of registration, may commence practice upon mailing to the department

the proper application for registration together with the required fee,

provided, however, that such practice without actual possession of the

certificate of registration is limited to thirty days. Any such licensee

whose application for registration is submitted subsequent to the

beginning of the registration period applicable to such licensee shall

only be required to pay one-half of the fee if the registration period

is less than one-half the whole thereof.

5. Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that a certificate of

registration has been lost, mutilated or destroyed, the department may

issue a duplicate certificate upon such terms and conditions as the

commissioner shall prescribe.

6. The department may waive registration fees for a licensee who

registers after an elapsed period under the following circumstances:

(a) the registration period has expired; and

(b) the licensee provides the department with a notarized statement

attesting to the fact that the licensee has not practiced within this

state during the elapsed registration period.

7. The department may require that licensees provide proof of

completion of continuing education credits for registration of their

license or intravenous contrast administration certificate in accordance

with the commissioner's regulations.
