(a)
					 Applicability. In lieu of Parts 702, 711, 712 and 715 of this Title, this
					 section shall apply to part-time clinic sites, except for those operated by the
					 State Department of Health (other than those part-time clinics which are
					 operated as an extension of article 28 hospitals operated by the State
					 Department of Health) or by the health department of a city or county as such
					 terms are defined in section
					 614 of the
					 Public Health Law. Such cities and counties shall submit to the State
					 Department of Health information which lists the location(s), hours of
					 operation and services offered at each part-time clinic operated by or under
					 the authority of the city or county health department. This information shall
					 be submitted annually, by January 30th of each year, as an update to the
					 Municipal Public Health Services Plan (MPHSP) submitted by the city or county
					 pursuant to section
					 602 of the
					 Public Health Law, and shall provide such information for each part-time clinic
					 operated by or under the authority of the city or county health department in
					 the previous calendar year. Consistent with the definition of part-time clinic
					 site in section
					 700.2(a)(22) of
					 this Title, a part-time clinic shall:
(1)
					 provide services which shall be limited to low-risk (as determined by
					 prevailing standards of care and services) procedures and examinations which do
					 not normally require backup and support from the primary delivery site of the
					 operator or other medical facility. Such services may include health screening
					 (such as blood pressure and HIV screening), preventive health care and other
					 public health initiatives (such as HIV services), procedures and examinations
					 (such as well child care, the provision of immunizations and screening for
					 chronic or communicable conditions which are treatable or preventable by early
					 detection or which are of public health significance);
(2) be located at a site that has adequate
					 and appropriate space and resources to provide the intended services safely and
					 effectively and is located in proximity to the primary delivery site to ensure
					 that supervision and quality assurance are not compromised; and
(3) not be located at a private residence or
					 apartment, an intermediate care facility, an individualized residential
					 alternative, congregate living arrangements (not including a shelter for adults
					 or other group shelter operated by governmental or other organizations to
					 provide temporary housing accommodations in a safe environment to at-risk
					 populations), an area within an adult home, a residence for adults or enriched
					 housing program as defined in section
					 2 of the
					 Social Services Law, unless the part-time clinic is operated as part of an
					 approved State Department of Health public health initiative. A part-time
					 clinic also shall not be located in space which is part of another facility
					 licensed under article 28 of the Public Health Law, unless such part-time
					 clinic is operated as part of an approved State Department of Health public
					 health initiative, or in space which is part of the private office of a health
					 care practitioner or group of practitioners licensed by the State Education
					 Department.
