It adds a simple requirement. a requirement that before the Drug Enforcement Administration can register someone to prescribe or dispense these powerful addictive medications. that this applicant must be able to prove that they are either a U.S. citizen or a legal resident. That is it. There is actually a Federal law already on the books that requires this. It was signed into law and passed by Congress and signed by Bill Clinton in 1996. but there was a loophole in the law that allowed Stateslike what New York is doingStates to come around later and exempt illegal immigrants from the requirement in their State. New York is doing that right now through its board. It is not the State legislature that is doing it in New York.
