BILL NUMBER:S2742 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the practice of veterinary medicine PURPOSE: This bill is designed to bring the NY Veterinary Practice Act into compliance with most of our neighboring states and those states with large racing and equine populations by including animal dentistry within the scope of practice of veterinary medicine. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 6701 of the education law is amended to include the treatment of dental conditions as within the definition of the practice of veterinary medicine. A new paragraph 14 is added to Section 6705 to "grandfather" persons engaged in oral adjustment of floating of teeth in horses and who are not otherwise qualified from the prohibitions contained in this amend- ment. JUSTIFICATION: When the New York veterinary practice act was first enacted, there was general agreement that the practice of veterinary medicine included all of the veterinary specialties and for many years the practice operated under that assumption.

BILL NUMBER:S2742A TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the practice of veterinary medicine PURPOSE: This bill is designed to both reduce the potential for animal cruelty by prohibiting untrained persons from performing dental surgery on animals and to bring the NY Veterinary Practice Act into compliance with most of our neighboring states and those states with large racing and equine populations by including animal dentistry within the scope of practice of veterinary medicine. The manual floating of teeth is specifically excluded from the scope of practice of veterinary medicine. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 6701 of the education law is amended to include the treatment of dental conditions other than the manual floating of equine teeth as within the definition of the practice of veterinary medicine. JUSTIFICATION: When the New York veterinary practice act was first enacted, there was general agreement that the practice of veterinary medicine included all of the veterinary specialties and for many years the practice operated under that assumption.
