The sponsor's argument

Why Monica Martinez says this is needed

The Ryder Cup is a golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States, with hosting duties alternating between venues in Europe and the United States for each edition. For the 2025 Ryder Cup, the competition will be held in New York. Sporting organizations such as Ryder Cup often provide their athletes and related staff with their own medical providers to monitor the health of their athletes before, during, and after the event. Because these medical professionals may come from the same countries or states that the players come from, these professionals are often licensed by other states, countries, or territo- ries. Despite the state of New York having its own licensure standards and requirements, the state typically grants these medical professionals temporary authorization to practice in New York within their scope of practice to provide support medical services necessary for the safe functioning of the event.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
