Relates to special provisions for not-for-profit sales

This bill (S 1651) amends New York's general business law to regulate how physicians dispense hearing aids. It prohibits licensed physicians (including otolaryngologists) from selling hearing aids for profit and requires them to provide free repairs or service on any hearing aid they dispensed. The law applies specifically to physicians who currently dispense hearing aids, mandating compliance with additional sections of the law regarding their practice. The bill does not affect general not-for-profit organizations, as its focus is solely on medical professionals' hearing aid dispensing practices.
