What A 10888 does, verified April 25, 2026
The proposed law aims to amend the education law to facilitate the hiring of licensed psychoanalysts and licensed clinical social workers with a certificate in psychoanalysis as faculty members in programs leading to a certificate in psychoanalysis. This change would exempt these professionals from the traditional educational requirements to serve as faculty in such programs. The law would take effect immediately upon its passage.
