  • S66-A (Harckham) / A1262-A (McDonald) Psychology Prescribing

    May 15, 2023 10:07 AM | Cheryl Rings (Administrator)

    On May 15, 2023, the NYSSPS sent a letter to New York State Legislators urging them to reject this legislation granting prescriptive authority to the profession of psychology, which we believe poses a serious threat to the health and safety of mentally ill patients receiving or requiring psychotropic and other medications as a critical component of their treatment and continuity of care.

    An act to amend the education law, in relation to collaborative prescriptive authority for psychologists.
