Evaluation of prior disciplinary history for authorization to practice

An applicant seeking licensure, certification, or authorization pursuant to this title who has been subject to disciplinary action by a duly authorized professional disciplinary agency of another jurisdiction solely on the basis of having engaged in legally protected health activity, as defined by section 570.17 of the criminal procedure law, shall not be denied such licensure, certification, or authorization, unless the department determines that such action would have constituted professional misconduct in this state. Provided however, that nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the department from evaluating the conduct of such applicant and making a determination to be licensed, certified, or authorized to practice a profession under this title.
