May 19, 2023 News Headlines

This simple tool helps you track relevant New York state regulations’ status and comment period deadlines. With regular updates and important changes noted in HANYS News, you won’t need to worry about missing critical deadlines.

The bipartisan healthcare bills advanced by the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health this week include HANYS-opposed legislation that would impose site-neutral payment reductions for the administration of drug services furnished in hospital outpatient departments. The package, which also includes HANYS-supported legislation to delay the Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital cuts, could be considered by the full Energy and Commerce Committee as early as next week. We encourage HANYS members to join us in Washington for delegation meetings in conjunction with AHA’s June 6 Advocacy Day (RSVP to Sarah Crandell) to push back against site-neutral cuts and other harmful policies.

This week Gov. Hochul signed the following bill into law:

• Nurse simulation training (Chapter 134 of the Laws of 2023)

The following bill passed both houses:

• Price gouging of medicine (A.5363-B/S.608-C)

See our summary chart for a complete list of bills of interest that have passed both houses during the 2023 legislative session.
