     4  Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law,  any  person  who  is
     5  licensed  to  practice as a physician in another state or territory, who
     6  is in good standing in such state or territory  and  who  holds  certif-
     7  ication  in  obstetrics or gynecology from the American board of obstet-
     8  rics and gynecology, may provide professional services within this state
     9  to persons seeking reproductive  health  services  without  first  being
    10  licensed pursuant to the provisions of this article. Such services shall
    11  be provided only after such person applies for a license pursuant to the
    12  provisions  of  this  article, as may be applicable, and such person may
    13  continue providing services pursuant to this  section  until  such  time
    14  that  their  license or certification to practice is approved or denied.
    15  Provided however, this section shall not apply to persons licensed in  a
    16  state  or  territory  determined  to  have  substandard or nonconforming
    17  professional licensing requirements, as determined by the commissioner.
    18    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
