NYC TLC Medical Exam Provider Law

NYC Local Law 165 of 2023 changed the provider language for taxi driver license medical exams. The law authorizes designated physician assistants and nurse practitioners, in addition to duly licensed physicians, to conduct medical exams for taxi driver license applicants.

For drivers, the practical takeaway is still simple: use the official TLC medical form, book a qualified clinical visit, keep the exam inside the TLC timing window, and follow TLC instructions for filing.

What changed The law expanded who may conduct designated TLC medical exams. It did not turn the TLC drug test, driver course, fingerprints, or platform approval into the same step.
