AN  ACT  to  amend  the  education law, in relation to the profession of
  nurse anesthesia

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

certified registered nurse anesthetists are highly educated and  trained
advanced practice nurses who hold a national professional certification,

hospitals,  free-standing  ambulatory  surgery centers, clinics, profes-

that  certified  registered nurse anesthetists play in the safe delivery
of such services and the need to protect and enhance patient  safety  in
all  health care facilities, it is in the interest of the people of this
state to recognize the national professional certification of registered
