STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________

10258

IN SENATE

May 8, 2026 ___________

Introduced by Sen. BYNOE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health

AN ACT act to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing the remote administration of the funeral director licensing examina- tion

The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows:

1 Section 1. Legislative findings and intent. The legislature hereby 2 finds and declares that expanding access to professional licensure exam- 3 inations through the use of secure remote proctoring technologies 4 promotes workforce entry while maintaining the integrity and security of 5 such examinations. It is the intent of the legislature to authorize the 6 department of health to permit the funeral director licensing examina- 7 tion to be administered remotely, provided that such administration 8 maintains standards substantially equivalent to in-person testing. 9 § 2. Subdivision 2 of section 3422 of the public health law is amended 10 to read as follows: 11 2. Examinations shall be held at least twice in each year , or more 12 frequently as determined by the commissioner, and may be administered in 13 person, remotely pursuant to subdivision five of this section, or 14 through a combination of such methods . 15 § 3. Section 3422 of the public health law is amended by adding a new 16 subdivision 5 to read as follows: 17 5. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the commis- 18 sioner may permit any examination under this section to be administered 19 remotely through secure, proctored technology approved by the depart- 20 ment. 21 (a) Such remote administration shall include measures to ensure the 22 integrity of the examination, including, but not limited to, identity 23 verification, audiovisual monitoring, and the protection of examination 24 materials. 25 (b) Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to require the 26 elimination of in-person examination options.

EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD15816-01-6

S. 10258 2
