Attached is a brief summary of the status of some of the more significant bills which MSSNY and New York physicians were/are following during this Session of the New York State Legislature. Since we have no final budget (the Senate failed to act on the “Revenue” bill) the members are not being paid. Clearly at some point the members will be called back to complete the business left unfinished. This report will be updated as events occur.

The Division of Governmental Affairs wishes to express its gratitude to all physicians who chose to become involved in MSSNY’s legislative effort. As such physician involvement increases and intensifies, MSSNY’s policy on critical health issues will more and more be reflected in the policies adopted by our State Legislature and Governor.

In the meantime, thank you.
