Repeals section 3372 of the public health law
This bill repeals a requirement in New York's public health law that previously mandated healthcare providers to report patients' drug use to authorities. It directly affects healthcare practitioners who no longer must report such information under this provision. The bill removes this specific reporting obligation with no new mechanisms or provisions added. As a procedural repeal, it solely eliminates the existing legal requirement without creating new policies. The bill was enacted after passing both legislative chambers and receiving the Governor's signature in October 2025.
