New York Assembly Bill A9077A was introduced, which would eliminate the role of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from the determination of policies and practices in the state of New York.

The bill proposes that medical guidelines would be required to follow “nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines,” and that such guidelines would not have to be “consistent with guidelines issued by a federal agency or other organization if such guidelines conflict with peer-reviewed scientific evidence and professional consensus.”

Such substitutions would apply across different sections of New York legislation, including Labor Law.
