is pleased to
present
Ramifications
of the NY SAFE Act on Clinical
and Professional
Practice
Co Sponsor: The NYSPA
Forensic Division
Rationale: The new law on gun control recently
signed by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has created a great deal of
confusion among practitioners regarding its scope and specific
requirements. To help us unravel what this and other related
laws (such as the Kendra’s law) mean, who are likely to be
affected, and to what extent will be the subject of this
presentation /discussion. This issue is more urgent in view of our
understanding that the NRA succeeded in introducing specific
language in the Affordable Care Act that bans providers from
documenting patient responses to questions that they may ask about
guns at home (something likely to be asked if evaluating for
suicide). Recognizing that much still needs to be understood and
defined by the legislators before the NY Safe Act law goes into
implementation, we will explore what is known and what the
professional should consider with regard to the extent of his/her
professional responsibility, including the issue of
confidentiality.
