MINOR

This bill amendment extends the temporary authorization for certain health care professionals to provide services at New York City running events from 2025 to include 2026. The change allows these professionals to work at the same events in both years without needing full state licensure, addressing staffing needs for major marathons and races.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was expanded to include 2026 events in addition to the 2025 events previously authorized.

TIMELINE

Extended the authorization period from a single 2025 season to include both 2025 and 2026 events at all six listed running races.

Updated the expiration date of the act from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to align with the extended event coverage.

REQUIREMENT

Added language allowing events to be held on dates 'as otherwise permitted by the city of New York in 2026' for each of the six running events, providing flexibility for scheduling.
