The opening paragraph, paragraphs (h), (o) and subparagraph (i) 22 of paragraph (u) of subdivision 1, subdivisions 2 and 6 of section 23 245.20 of the criminal procedure law, as added by section 2 of part LLL 24 of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, are amended to read as follows: 25 The prosecution shall disclose to the defendant, and permit the 26 defendant to discover, inspect, copy, photograph and test, all [items27and information that relate to the subject matter of the case and] mate- 28 rial and information relevant to the subject matter of the charges 29 against the defendant in the instant case which are in the possession, 30 custody or control of the prosecution or persons under the prosecution's 31 direction or control, including but not limited to: 32 (h) All photographs and drawings made or completed by a public servant 33 engaged in law enforcement activity, or which were made by a person whom 34 the prosecutor intends to call as a witness at trial or a pre-trial 35 hearing, or which [relate to the subject matter of the case] are rele- 36 vant to the subject matter of the charges against the defendant in the 37 instant case. 38 (o) All tangible property that [relates to the subject matter of the39case] is relevant to the subject matter of the charges against the 40 defendant in the instant case, along with a designation of which items 41 the prosecution intends to introduce in its case-in-chief at trial or a 42 pre-trial hearing. If in the exercise of reasonable diligence the prose- 43 cutor has not formed an intention within the time period specified in 44 subdivision one of section 245.10 of this article that an item under 45 this subdivision will be introduced at trial or a pre-trial hearing, the 46 prosecution shall notify the defendant in writing, and the time period 47 in which to designate items as exhibits shall be stayed without need for 48 a motion pursuant to subdivision two of section 245.70 of this article; 49 but the disclosure shall be made as soon as practicable and subject to 50 the continuing duty to disclose in section 245.60 of this article. 51 (i) A copy of all electronically created or stored information seized 52 or obtained by or on behalf of law enforcement from: (A) the defendant 53 as described in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph; or (B) a source 54 other than the defendant which [relates to the subject matter of theS. 3005 12 A. 3005 1case] are relevant to the subject matter of the charges against the 2 defendant in the instant case. 3 2. Duties of the prosecution. The prosecutor shall make a diligent, 4 good faith effort to ascertain the existence of material or information 5 discoverable under subdivision one of this section and to cause such 6 material or information to be made available for discovery where it 7 exists but is not within the prosecutor's possession, custody or 8 control[; provided that the prosecutor shall not be required to obtain9by subpoena duces tecum material or information which the defendant may10thereby obtain]. Material or information that requires a subpoena duces 11 tecum in order for the prosecutor to obtain, and in which the defendant 12 may obtain by subpoena duces tecum, are not within the scope of automat- 13 ic discovery for purposes of subdivision one of this section, and the 14 prosecutor shall not be required to obtain such material or information 15 before filing a certificate of compliance pursuant to subdivision one of 16 section 245.50 of this article. For purposes of subdivision one of this 17 section, [all items and information related to the prosecution of a18charge] all material or information relevant to the subject matter of 19 the charges against the defendant in the instant case which are in the 20 possession of any New York state or local police or law enforcement 21 agency shall be deemed to be in the constructive possession of the pros- 22 ecution. The prosecution shall also identify any laboratory having 23 contact with evidence [related] relevant to the prosecution of a charge. 24 This subdivision shall not require the prosecutor to ascertain the 25 existence of witnesses not known to the police or another law enforce- 26 ment agency, or the written or recorded statements thereof, under para- 27 graph (c) or (e) of subdivision one of this section. 28 6. Redactions permitted. Either party may redact social security 29 numbers [and], tax numbers, witnesses' physical addresses, other forms 30 of witnesses' contact information so long as the people have provided 31 one form of adequate contact information contained in material or infor- 32 mation disclosed pursuant to paragraph (c) of subdivision one of this 33 section, physical addresses and other forms of contact information for 34 any persons contained in material or information disclosed pursuant to 35 paragraph (k) of subdivision one of this section, and material or infor- 36 mation that is not relevant to the subject matter of the charges against 37 the defendant in the instant case from disclosures under this article 38 without the need to file a protective order pursuant to section 245.70 39 of this article. 40 § 3. Subdivisions 1 and 3 of section 245.30 of the criminal procedure 41 law, as added by section 2 of part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 42 2019, are amended to read as follows: 43 1. Order to preserve evidence. At any time, a party may move for a 44 court order to any individual, agency or other entity in possession, 45 custody or control of items which [relate to the subject matter of the46case or are otherwise relevant] are relevant to the subject matter of 47 the charges against the defendant in the instant case, requiring that 48 such items be preserved for a specified period of time. The court shall 49 hear and rule upon such motions expeditiously. The court may modify or 50 vacate such an order upon a showing that preservation of particular 51 evidence will create significant hardship to such individual, agency or 52 entity, on condition that the probative value of that evidence is 53 preserved by a specified alternative means. 54 3. Discretionary discovery by order of the court. The court in its 55 discretion may, upon a showing by the defendant that the request is 56 reasonable and that the defendant is unable without undue hardship toS. 3005 13 A. 3005 1 obtain the substantial equivalent by other means, order the prosecution, 2 or any individual, agency or other entity subject to the jurisdiction of 3 the court, to make available for disclosure to the defendant any materi- 4 al or information which [relates to the subject matter of the case] are 5 relevant to the subject matter of the charges against the defendant in 6 the instant case and is reasonably likely to be material. A motion under 7 this subdivision must be on notice to any person or entity affected by 8 the order. The court may, on its own, upon request of any person or 9 entity affected by the order, modify or vacate the order if compliance 10 would be unreasonable or will create significant hardship. For good 11 cause shown, the court may permit a party seeking or opposing a discre- 12 tionary order of discovery under this subdivision, or another affected 13 person or entity, to submit papers or testify on the record ex parte or 14 in camera. For good cause shown, any such papers and a transcript of 15 such testimony may be sealed and shall constitute a part of the record 16 on appeal. 17 § 4. Subdivisions 1, 1-a, 3 and 4 of section 245.50 of the criminal 18 procedure law, subdivisions 1 and 3 as amended by section 7 of part HHH 19 of chapter 56 of the laws of 2020, subdivision 1-a as added and subdivi- 20 sion 4 as amended by section 1 of subpart D of part UU of chapter 56 of 21 the laws of 2022, are amended and a new subdivision 5 is added to read 22 as follows: 23 1. By the prosecution. When the prosecution, after exercising good 24 faith and due diligence, has provided [the discovery required by subdi-25vision one of section 245.20 of this article] all material and informa- 26 tion set forth in subdivision one of section 245.20 of this article that 27 are in the people's actual possession, except for discovery that is lost 28 or destroyed as provided by paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section 29 245.80 of this article and except for any [items] material or informa- 30 tion that [are] is the subject of an order pursuant to section 245.70 of 31 this article, it shall serve upon the defendant and file with the court 32 a certificate of compliance. The certificate of compliance shall state 33 that, after exercising due diligence and making reasonable inquiries to 34 ascertain the existence of material and information subject to discov- 35 ery, the prosecutor has disclosed and made available all known material 36 and information subject to discovery that is in its actual possession. 37 It shall also identify the items provided. [If additional discovery is38subsequently provided] If the prosecution provides additional discovery 39 prior to trial pursuant to section 245.60 of this article, a supple- 40 mental certificate shall be served upon the defendant and filed with the 41 court identifying the additional material and information provided. [No42adverse consequence to the prosecution or the prosecutor shall result43from the filing of a certificate of compliance in good faith and reason-44able under the circumstances; but the court may grant a remedy or sanc-45tion for a discovery violation as provided in section 245.80 of this46article.] The filing of a supplemental certificate of compliance shall 47 not impact the validity of the original certificate of compliance if 48 filed in good faith and after exercising due diligence pursuant to 49 section 245.20 of this article. Nothing in this subdivision shall 50 preclude the prosecution from continuing their investigation and obtain- 51 ing and disclosing new discoverable material and information after they 52 have filed a certificate of compliance. 53 [1-a. Any supplemental certificate of compliance shall detail the54basis for the delayed disclosure so that the court may determine whether55the delayed disclosure impacts the propriety of the certificate of56compliance. The filing of a supplemental certificate of compliance shallS. 3005 14 A. 3005 1not impact the validity of the original certificate of compliance if2filed in good faith and after exercising due diligence pursuant to3section 245.20 of this article, or if the additional discovery did not4exist at the time of the filing of the original certificate of compli-5ance.] 6 3. Trial readiness. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, 7 absent an individualized finding of special circumstances in the instant 8 case by the court before which the charge is pending, the prosecution 9 shall not be deemed ready for trial for purposes of section 30.30 of 10 this chapter until it has filed a proper certificate pursuant to subdi- 11 vision one of this section. [A court may deem the prosecution ready for12trial pursuant to section 30.30 of this chapter where information that13might be considered discoverable under this article cannot be disclosed14because it has been lost, destroyed, or otherwise unavailable as15provided by paragraph (b) of subdivision one of section 245.80 of this16article, despite diligent and good faith efforts, reasonable under the17circumstances. Provided, however, that the court may grant a remedy or18sanction for a discovery violation as provided by section 245.80 of this19article.] 20 4. (a) Challenges to, or questions related to a certificate of compli- 21 ance shall be addressed by motion. 22 (b) To the extent that the party is aware of a potential defect or 23 deficiency related to a certificate of compliance or supplemental 24 certificate of compliance, the party entitled to disclosure shall notify 25 or alert the opposing party as soon as practicable. 26 (c) Challenges related to the sufficiency of a certificate of compli- 27 ance or supplemental certificates of compliance filed pursuant to subdi- 28 vision one of this section shall be addressed by motion [as soon as29practicable, provided that nothing in this section shall be construed to30waive a party's right to make further challenges, including but not31limited to a motion pursuant to section 30.30 of this chapter] within 32 thirty-five days of the filing of the certificate. Failure to challenge 33 a certificate of compliance or supplemental certificate of compliance 34 within that time period constitutes a waiver of that challenge, however, 35 for good cause shown, the court may extend the time period beyond thir- 36 ty-five days. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, voluminous 37 discovery and the complexity of the case. Denial of a motion challenging 38 the sufficiency of a certificate of compliance or supplemental certif- 39 icate of compliance, or a waiver of such challenge, shall not preclude 40 the imposition of any remedy or sanction authorized under section 245.80 41 of this article. 42 (d) A certificate of compliance or supplemental certificate of compli- 43 ance shall not be invalidated where the people rely on a good faith 44 interpretation of the disclosure requirements of this article, and there 45 is no controlling precedent to the contrary from the intermediate appel- 46 late court to which an appeal from a judgment of conviction would be had 47 or from the court of appeals. 48 5. Notwithstanding any other section of law to the contrary, no 49 adverse consequence to the prosecution or the prosecutor, including the 50 invalidation of a certificate of compliance or statement of readiness, 51 shall result from the filing of a certificate of compliance or a supple- 52 mental certificate of compliance that was made in good faith and is 53 reasonable under the circumstances. Belated or missing disclosures shall 54 be cured by supplemental discovery pursuant to subdivisions one and two 55 of this section. If the party entitled to the belated or missing disclo- 56 sures shows that they have been prejudiced by the belated or non-disclo-S. 3005 15 A. 3005 1 sure, the court shall grant an appropriate and proportionate remedy 2 pursuant to section 245.80 of this article. A certificate of compliance 3 or statement of readiness shall be invalidated only upon a showing that 4 no other remedy, pursuant to section 245.80 of this article, can suffi- 5 ciently cure any prejudice resulting from the belated or missing disclo- 6 sure. 7 § 5. Subdivision 2 of section 245.55 of the criminal procedure law, as 8 added by section 2 of part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is 9 amended to read as follows: 10 2. Provision of law enforcement agency files. Absent a court order or 11 a requirement that defense counsel obtain a security clearance mandated 12 by law or authorized government regulation, upon request by the prose- 13 cution, each New York state and local law enforcement agency shall make 14 available to the prosecution a complete copy of its complete records and 15 files [related] relevant to the investigation of the case or the prose- 16 cution of the defendant for compliance with this article. 17 § 6. Subdivision 3 of section 245.80 of the criminal procedure law, as 18 added by section 2 of part LLL of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is 19 amended to read as follows: 20 3. Consequences of non-disclosure of statement of testifying prose- 21 cution witness. The failure of the prosecutor or any agent of the prose- 22 cutor to disclose any written or recorded statement made by a prose- 23 cution witness which [relates] is relevant to the subject matter of the 24 witness's testimony shall not constitute grounds for any court to order 25 a new pre-trial hearing or set aside a conviction, or reverse, modify or 26 vacate a judgment of conviction, in the absence of a showing by the 27 defendant that there is a reasonable possibility that the non-disclosure 28 materially contributed to the result of the trial or other proceeding; 29 provided, however, that nothing in this section shall affect or limit 30 any right the defendant may have to a reopened pre-trial hearing when 31 such statements were disclosed before the close of evidence at trial. 32 § 7. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 4 of section 30.30 of the criminal 33 procedure law, as amended by section 1 of part KKK of chapter 59 of the 34 laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows: 35 (a) a reasonable period of delay resulting from other proceedings 36 concerning the defendant, including but not limited to: proceedings for 37 the determination of competency and the period during which defendant is 38 incompetent to stand trial; demand to produce; request for a bill of 39 particulars; pre-trial motions; appeals; trial of other charges; [and] 40 the period during which such matters are under consideration by the 41 court; and unless the defendant waives their right to file a challenge 42 to the people's discovery certificate of compliance pursuant to section 43 245.50 of this chapter, the period between the filing of the people's 44 certificate of compliance and the court's decision on the defendant's 45 challenge to the certificate of compliance; or 46 § 8. Subdivision 5 of section 30.30 of the criminal procedure law, as 47 amended by section 1 of part KKK of chapter 59 of the laws of 2019, is 48 amended to read as follows: 49 5. Whenever pursuant to this section a prosecutor states or otherwise 50 provides notice that the people are ready for trial, the court shall 51 make inquiry on the record as to their actual readiness. If, after 52 conducting its inquiry, the court determines that the people are not 53 ready to proceed to trial, the prosecutor's statement or notice of read- 54 iness shall not be valid for purposes of this section. Any statement of 55 trial readiness must be accompanied or preceded by a certification of 56 good faith compliance with the disclosure requirements of section 245.20S. 3005 16 A. 3005 1 of this chapter and the defense shall be afforded an opportunity to be 2 heard on the record as to whether the disclosure requirements have been 3 met. The court may deem the people not ready for trial if it finds that 4 the people's certificate of compliance was invalid and the defense shows 5 that it was prejudiced as a result of the people's non-disclosure or 6 belated disclosure of discoverable material or information and no other 7 remedy, pursuant to section 245.80 of this chapter, sufficiently cures 8 the prejudice. This subdivision shall not apply to cases where the 9 defense has waived disclosure requirements. 10 § 9. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all 11 criminal proceedings initiated on or before such date. 12 PART C 13 Section 1. Section 3 of the public officers law is amended by adding 14 a new subdivision 9-a to read as follows: 15 9-a.

The provisions of 40 this subdivision shall not apply to the superintendent. 41 § 3.

The legislature 54 hereby finds and declares that it is frequently impracticable to ascer- 55 tain fitness for the positions of detective and investigator within 56 various police or sheriffs departments around the state by means of aS. 3005 20 A. 3005 1 competitive examination due to the unique nature of the duties assigned 2 and the intangible personal qualities needed to perform such duties. The 3 legislature further finds that competitive examination has never been 4 employed in many police, correction or sheriffs departments, to ascer- 5 tain fitness for the positions of detective and investigator within such 6 police, correction or sheriffs departments; such fitness has always been 7 determined by evaluation of the capabilities of an individual (who has 8 in any case received permanent appointment to the position of police 9 officer, correction officer of any rank or deputy sheriff) by superviso- 10 ry personnel. The legislature further finds that an individual who 11 performs in an investigatory position in a manner sufficiently satisfac- 12 tory to the appropriate supervisors to hold such an assignment for a 13 period of eighteen months, has demonstrated fitness for the position of 14 detective or investigator within such police, correction or sheriffs 15 department at least as sufficiently as could be ascertained by means of 16 a competitive examination. 17 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any jurisdiction, 18 other than a city with a population of one million or more or the state 19 department of corrections and community supervision, which does not 20 administer examinations for designation to detective or investigator, 21 any person who has received permanent appointment to the position of 22 police officer, correction officer of any rank or deputy sheriff and is 23 temporarily assigned to perform the duties of detective or investigator 24 shall, whenever such assignment to the duties of a detective or investi- 25 gator exceeds eighteen months, be permanently designated as a detective 26 or investigator and receive the compensation ordinarily paid to persons 27 in such designation. 28 (iii) Nothing contained in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph shall 29 be construed to limit any jurisdiction's ability to administer examina- 30 tions for appointment to the positions of detective and investigator, 31 provided however that any person temporarily assigned to perform the 32 duties of detective or investigator within the period commencing Septem- 33 ber twenty-third, nineteen hundred ninety-three through and including 34 the date upon which this paragraph shall have become a law and who has 35 not been designated as a detective or investigator and who has not been 36 subject to an examination for which there is a certified eligible list, 37 shall be permanently designated as a detective or investigator whenever 38 such assignment to the duties of detective or investigator exceeds eigh- 39 teen months. 40 (iv) Detectives and investigators designated since September twenty- 41 third, nineteen hundred ninety and prior to February twenty-fourth, 42 nineteen hundred ninety-five by any state, county, town, village or city 43 (other than a city with a population of one million or more or the state 44 department of corrections and community supervision) police, correction 45 or sheriffs department, pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph in 46 effect during such period, who continue to serve in such positions, 47 shall retain their detective or investigator status without any right to 48 retroactive financial entitlement. 49 5. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the investigatory 50 personnel of the office of the district attorney in any county, includ- 51 ing any county within the city of New York. 52 6. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any individual 53 holding the position of deputy sheriff in Westchester county prior to 54 July first, nineteen hundred seventy-nine upon the transfer of such 55 individual to service in the Westchester county department of public 56 safety services.S. 3005 21 A. 3005 1 § 5.

Such list shall consist of a specified 36 number of entities, as determined by an authorized state entity, and 37 shall be generated based upon the authorized state entity's review of 38 responses to a publicly advertised request for qualifications. The 39 authorized state entity's request for qualifications shall include a 40 general description of the project, the maximum number of entities to be 41 included on the list, the selection criteria to be used and the relative 42 weight of each criteria in generating the list.

If for any reason during the period 37 when medical treatment and care is required, the employee wishes to 38 transfer [his or her] their treatment and care to another authorized 39 [physician] provider, [he or she] they may do so, in accordance with 40 rules prescribed by the chair. In such instance the remuneration of the 41 [physician] provider whose services are being dispensed with shall be 42 limited to the value of treatment rendered at fees as established in the 43 schedule for [his or her] their location, unless payment in higher 44 amounts has been approved as authorized in [section thirteen, paragraph] 45 subdivision a of section thirteen of this article. If a claimant shall 46 receive treatment in any hospital or other institution operated in whole 47 or in part by the state of New York, the employer shall be liable for 48 food, clothing and maintenance furnished by the hospital or other insti- 49 tution to such employee. If the employee is unable due to the nature of 50 the injury to select such authorized [physician] provider and the emer- 51 gency nature of the injury requires immediate medical treatment and 52 care, or if [he or she does] they do not desire to select a [physician]S. 3005 60 A. 3005 1 provider, and in writing so advises the employer, the employer shall 2 promptly provide [him or her] them with the necessary medical care, 3 provided however, that nothing herein contained shall operate to prevent 4 such employee, when subsequently able to do so, from selecting for 5 continuance of any medical treatment or care required, any [physician] 6 provider authorized by the chair to render medical care as hereinafter 7 provided. 8 (2) The [chairman] chair shall prescribe the form of a notice inform- 9 ing employees of their privilege under this chapter, and such notice 10 shall be posted and maintained by the employer in a conspicuous place or 11 places in and about [his] their place or places of business. 12 (3) The employer shall have the right to transfer the care of an 13 injured employee from the attending [physician] provider, whether chosen 14 originally by the employee or by the employer, to another authorized 15 [physician] provider (1) if the interest of the injured employee neces- 16 sitates the transfer or (2) if the [physician has not been authorized to17treat injured employees under this act or (3) if he has not been author-18ized under this act to treat the particular injury or condition as19provided by section thirteen-b (2)] provider is currently placed on the 20 exclusion list. An authorized [physician] provider from whom the case 21 has been transferred shall have the right of appeal to an arbitration 22 committee as provided in subdivision two of section thirteen-g of this 23 article and if said arbitration committee finds that the transfer was 24 not authorized by this section, said employer shall pay to the [physi-25cian] provider a sum equal to the total fee earned by the [physician] 26 provider to whom the care of the injured employee has been transferred, 27 or such proportion of said fee as the arbitration committee shall deem 28 adequate. 29 (4) (a) No claim for medical or surgical treatment shall be valid and 30 enforceable, as against such employer, or employee, unless within 31 forty-eight hours following the first treatment the [physician] provider 32 giving such treatment furnishes to the employer and directly to the 33 chair a preliminary notice of such injury and treatment, within fifteen 34 days thereafter a more complete report and subsequent thereto progress 35 reports if requested in writing by the chair, board, employer or insur- 36 ance carrier at intervals of not less than three weeks apart or at less 37 frequent intervals if requested on forms prescribed by the chair. The 38 board may excuse failure to give such notices within the designated 39 periods when it finds it to be in the interest of justice to do so. 40 (b) Upon receipt of the notice provided for by paragraph (a) of this 41 subdivision, the employer, the carrier, and the claimant each shall be 42 entitled to have the claimant examined by a [physician] provider author- 43 ized by the chair in accordance with sections thirteen-b and one hundred 44 thirty-seven of this chapter, at a medical facility convenient to the 45 claimant and in the presence of the claimant's [physician] provider, and 46 refusal by the claimant to submit to such independent medical examina- 47 tion at such time or times as may reasonably be necessary in the opinion 48 of the board, shall bar the claimant from recovering compensation for 49 any period during which [he or she] the claimant has refused to submit 50 to such examination. No hospital shall be required to produce the 51 records of any claimant without receiving its customary fees or charges 52 for reproduction of such records. 53 (c) Where it would place an unreasonable burden upon the employer or 54 carrier to arrange for, or for the claimant to attend, an independent 55 medical examination by an authorized [physician] provider, the employer 56 or carrier shall arrange for such examination to be performed by a qual-S. 3005 61 A. 3005 1 ified [physician] provider in a medical facility convenient to the 2 claimant. 3 (d) The independent medical examiner shall provide such reports and 4 shall submit to investigation as required by the chair. 5 (e) In order to qualify as admissible medical evidence, for purposes 6 of adjudicating any claim under this chapter, any report submitted to 7 the board by an independent medical examiner licensed by the state of 8 New York shall include the following: 9 (i) a signed statement certifying that the report is a full and truth- 10 ful representation of the independent medical examiner's professional 11 opinion with respect to the claimant's condition: 12 (ii) such examiner's board issued authorization number; 13 (iii) the name of the individual or entity requesting the examination; 14 (iv) if applicable, the registration number as required by section 15 thirteen-n of this article; and 16 (v) such other information as the chair may require by regulation. 17 Any report by an independent medical examiner who is not authorized, 18 and who performs an independent medical examination in accordance with 19 paragraph (c) of this subdivision, which is to be used as medical 20 evidence under this chapter, shall include in the report such informa- 21 tion as the chair may require by regulation. 22 (5) No claim for specialist consultations, surgical operations, 23 physiotherapeutic or occupational therapy procedures, x-ray examinations 24 or special diagnostic laboratory tests costing more than one thousand 25 dollars shall be valid and enforceable, as against such employer, unless 26 such special services shall have been authorized by the employer or by 27 the board, or unless such authorization has been unreasonably withheld, 28 or withheld for a period of more than thirty calendar days from receipt 29 of a request for authorization, or unless such special services are 30 required in an emergency, provided, however, that the basis for a denial 31 of such authorization by the employer must be based on a conflicting 32 second opinion rendered by a [physician] provider authorized by the 33 board. The board, with the approval of the superintendent of financial 34 services, shall issue and maintain a list of pre-authorized procedures 35 under this section. Such list of pre-authorized procedures shall be 36 issued and maintained for the purpose of expediting authorization of 37 treatment of injured workers. Such list of pre-authorized procedures 38 shall not prohibit varied treatment when the treating provider demon- 39 strates the appropriateness and medical necessity of such treatment. 40 (6) (a) Any interference by any person with the selection by an 41 injured employee of an authorized [physician] provider to treat [him] 42 such employee, except when the selection is made pursuant to article 43 ten-A of this chapter, and the improper influencing or attempt by any 44 person improperly to influence the medical opinion of any [physician] 45 provider who has treated or examined an injured employee, shall be a 46 misdemeanor; provided, however, that it shall not constitute interfer- 47 ence or improper influence if, in the presence of such injured employ- 48 ee's [physician] provider, an employer, [his] the employer's carrier or 49 agent should recommend or provide information concerning rehabilitation 50 services or the availability thereof to an injured employee or [his] the 51 employee's family. 52 (b) Except as otherwise permitted by law, an employer, carrier, or 53 third-party administrator shall not interfere or attempt to interfere 54 with the selection by an injured employee of, or treatment by, an 55 authorized medical provider, including by directing or attempting to 56 direct that the injured employee seek treatment from a specific providerS. 3005 62 A. 3005 1 or type of provider selected by the employer, carrier, or third-party 2 administrator. It shall not constitute improper interference under this 3 paragraph if the direction or attempt to direct the injured employee to 4 receive treatment from a specific provider or type of provider origi- 5 nates from the authorized medical provider while in the course of 6 providing treatment to the injured employee. 7 (i) Notwithstanding any other provision in this chapter, the chair 8 shall by regulation establish a performance standard concerning the 9 subject of any penalty imposed under this paragraph against an employer, 10 carrier or third-party administrator. The performance standard estab- 11 lished by the chair shall be used to measure compliance with this para- 12 graph by employers, carriers and third-party administrators. The chair 13 shall apply the performance standard based on multiple factors, includ- 14 ing but not limited to, findings of improper interference submitted as 15 complaints to the board's monitoring unit, unreasonable objections to 16 medical care, unwarranted objections to variances, medical billing 17 disputes, case delays brought about by employers, carriers and third- 18 party administrators, and the unreasonable denial of medical care. 19 (ii) Upon validating an allegation that the employer, carrier or 20 third-party administrator has failed to meet the promulgated performance 21 standard, a penalty shall be assessed by the board upon notice to the 22 employer, carrier or third-party administrator. The board shall impose 23 such penalty against the carrier, employer or third-party administrator 24 in the amount of fifty dollars per violation identified in subparagraph 25 (i) of this paragraph. The penalties for violations identified in 26 subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, may be aggregated into a single 27 penalty upon a finding that an employer, carrier or third-party adminis- 28 trator has interfered with an injured employee's necessary medical 29 treatment and care. Such aggregate penalty or assessment shall be based 30 upon the number of violations as multiplied against the applicable 31 penalty or assessment, but may be negotiated by the chair's designee in 32 full satisfaction of the penalty or assessment. Any aggregate penalty or 33 assessment issued under this paragraph shall be issued administratively, 34 and the chair shall, by regulation, specify the method of review or 35 redetermination, and the presentment of evidence and objections shall 36 occur solely upon the documentation. Any final determination shall be 37 subject to review under section twenty-three of this article but penal- 38 ties may not be subject to a stay. A final determination that an employ- 39 er, carrier or third-party administrator has engaged in a pattern of 40 interference with an injured worker's access to medically necessary 41 medical care shall result in the imposition of an aggregate penalty and 42 publication of notice of such finding on the board's web page. 43 (7)(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the 44 contrary, any insurance carrier authorized to transact the business of 45 workers' compensation insurance in this state, self-insurer or the state 46 insurance fund may contract with a network or networks, legally and 47 properly organized, to perform diagnostic tests, x-ray examinations, 48 magnetic resonance imaging, or other radiological examinations or tests 49 of claimants and may require claimant to obtain or undergo such diagnos- 50 tic test, x-ray examinations, magnetic resonance imaging or other radio- 51 logical examinations or tests with a provider or at a facility that is 52 affiliated with the network or networks with which the carrier 53 contracts, except if a medical emergency occurs requiring an immediate 54 diagnostic test, x-ray examination, magnetic resonance imaging or other 55 radiological examination or test or if the network with which the insur- 56 ance carrier, self-insurer or the state insurance fund contracts doesS. 3005 63 A. 3005 1 not have a provider or facility able to perform the examination or test 2 within a reasonable distance from the claimant's residence or place of 3 employment, as defined by regulation of the board. 4 (b) Any insurance carrier, self-insurer or the state insurance fund 5 which requires claimants to obtain or undergo diagnostic tests, x-ray 6 examinations, magnetic resonance imaging or other radiological examina- 7 tions or tests with a provider or at a facility affiliated with a 8 network or networks with which it contracts, must notify the claimant of 9 the name and contact information for the network or networks at the same 10 time the written statement of the claimant's rights as required by 11 subdivision two of section one hundred ten of this chapter or immediate- 12 ly after imposing such requirement if the time period within which the 13 written statement of the claimant's rights as required by subdivision 14 two of section one hundred ten of this chapter has expired. 15 (c) At the time a request for authorization for special diagnostic 16 tests, x-ray examinations, magnetic resonance imaging or other radiolog- 17 ical examinations or tests costing more than one thousand dollars as 18 required by subdivision five of this section is approved, the insurance 19 carrier, self-insurer or state insurance fund, or if so delegated the 20 network with which the insurance carrier, self-insurer or state insur- 21 ance fund has contracted, shall notify the [physician] provider request- 22 ing authorization of the requirement that the claimant obtain or undergo 23 the special diagnostic test, x-ray examination, magnetic resonance imag- 24 ing or other radiological examination or test with a provider or at a 25 facility affiliated with the network or networks with which it has 26 contracted, the contact information for the network and a list of the 27 providers and facilities within the claimant's geographic location, as 28 defined by regulation of the board. The claimant, in consultation with 29 the provider who requested the special diagnostic test, x-ray examina- 30 tion, magnetic resonance imaging or other radiological test or exam, 31 will determine the provider or facility from within the network which 32 will perform such diagnostic test, x-ray examination, magnetic resonance 33 imaging or other radiological examination or test. 34 (d) The results of the special diagnostic test, x-ray examination, 35 magnetic resonance imaging or other radiological test or exam must be 36 sent to the [physician] provider who requested the test or exam imme- 37 diately upon completion of the report detailing the results. 38 § 2.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contra- 33 ry, in any instance in which an employer is unsure of the extent of its 34 liability for a claim for compensation by an injured employee pursuant 35 to this chapter, such employer may initiate compensation payments and 36 payments for medical treatment and care, including prescribed medicine 37 and continue such payments for one year, without prejudice and without 38 admitting liability, in accordance with a notice of temporary payment of 39 compensation, on a form prescribed by the board. 40 2. The notice of temporary payment of compensation authorized by 41 subdivision one of this section shall be delivered to the injured 42 employee and the board. Such notice shall notify the injured employee 43 that the temporary payment of compensation and medical treatment and 44 care, including prescribed medicine shall not be deemed to be an admis- 45 sion of liability by the employer for the injury or injuries to the 46 employee. The board, upon receipt of a notice of temporary payment of 47 compensation, shall send a notice to the injured employee stating that: 48 (a) the board has received a notice of temporary payment of compen- 49 sation relating to such injured employee; 50 (b) the payment of temporary compensation and medical treatment and 51 care, including prescribed medicine and the injured employee's accept- 52 ance of such temporary compensation and medical treatment and care, 53 including prescribed medicine shall not be an admission of liability by 54 the employer, nor prejudice the claim of the injured employee;S. 3005 72 A. 3005 1 (c) the payment of temporary compensation and medical treatment and 2 care, including prescribed medicine shall terminate on the elapse of: 3 one year, or the employer's contesting of the injured employee's claim 4 for compensation and medical treatment and care, including prescribed 5 medicine, or the board determination of the injured employee's claim, 6 whichever is first; and 7 (d) the injured employee may be required to enter into an agreement 8 with the employer to ensure the continuation of payments of temporary 9 compensation and medical treatment and care, including prescribed medi- 10 cine. 11 3.

Such notice 16 shall inform the injured employee that the employer is ceasing temporary 17 payment of compensation and medical treatment and care, including 18 prescribed medicine. Upon the cessation of temporary payments of compen- 19 sation and medical treatment and care, including prescribed medicine, 20 all parties to any action pursuant to this chapter shall retain all 21 rights, defenses and obligations they would otherwise have pursuant to 22 this chapter without regard for the temporary payment of compensation 23 and medical treatment and care, including prescribed medicine. 24 § 2.

The insurer or health benefits 36 plan shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments by the carrier 37 or employer within the limits of the medical and hospital fee schedules 38 adopted by the chair if the board determines that the claim is compensa- 39 ble. Additionally, in the event that an insurer or health benefits plan 40 makes payments for medical and/or hospital services for or on behalf of 41 an injured employee when the claim is not controverted, they shall be 42 entitled to be reimbursed for such payments by the carrier or employer 43 within the limits of the medical and hospital fee schedules adopted by 44 the chair if the board determines that the claim is compensable.
