Summary
The Senate Rules Committee reported bills on April 30, 2025, that would authorize health care professionals licensed in other U.S. states or certified by foreign governments to provide medical services at upcoming international sporting events, including the Ryder Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 and the Milan–Cortina winter games.
The Senate Rules Committee on April 30, 2025, reported several bills that would authorize health care professionals licensed in other U.S. states or certified by foreign governments to provide medical services during major sporting events held in New York.
Secretary Reed read the committee report to the floor at the request of Senator Stewart-Cousins, which listed the following measures by Senate print number and sponsor titles: a bill (Senate print 7620) by Senator Martinez to authorize certain health care professionals certified by a foreign government or another state to provide professional services in connection with the 2025 Ryder Cup; Senate print 7623 by Senator Serrano concerning medical professionals for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025; Senate print 7636 by Senator C. Ryan concerning health care professionals for the Milan–Cortina Winter Games; and Senate print 7707 by Senator Crook related to port support of government (as read on the floor).
The floor record shows the report of the Rules Committee was accepted when the chair called for and received "aye" votes. The transcript excerpt does not include further debate, amendments, or roll-call tallies on these specific measures in the provided excerpt.
The measures, as read into the record, are narrow in scope: each would temporarily permit credentialed professionals from outside New York to practice in New York for the purpose of delivering medical services at the named international events. The transcript does not include text of the bills, any specified time windows for practice, or details about licensing conditions or supervisory requirements; those details are not specified in the floor excerpt.
