NY S08240

Eliminates the separate "practice committees" (podiatry, chiropractic, and psychology) that the Workers' Compensation Board chair was required to appoint for authorizing and overseeing these healthcare providers

Transfers the removal process for authorized podiatrists, chiropractors, and psychologists to follow the existing procedures under section 13-d of the workers' compensation law, consolidating oversight processes

Requires the chair to consult professional associations (New York State Podiatric Medical Association, New York State Chiropractic Association, and New York State Psychological Association) rather than appointed practice committees when establishing fee schedules

Updates gendered language throughout the relevant sections to gender-neutral terms (e.g., "chairman" to "chair," "his or her" to "their")

Repeals multiple subdivisions of sections 13-k, 13-l, and 13-m that established the structure, authority, and operational rules for the practice committees being eliminated
