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:

advanced practice nurses who hold a national professional certification,
and whose competency in the professional practice of nurse anesthesia in
hospitals,  free-standing  ambulatory  surgery centers, clinics, profes-

health care facilities throughout the state.

by regulations promulgated pursuant to the public health law in the case
of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.
  The  legislature also finds that while nurse anesthetists are advanced
practice nurses, licensed as registered professional nurses under  arti-

limit, diminish or in any way impinge upon the practice of  the  profes-
sion of nursing as a registered professional nurse under such article.
  Therefore,  the legislature hereby declares that, due to the intrinsic
nature of the administration of anesthesia services, the  integral  part
that  certified  registered nurse anesthetists play in the safe delivery
of such services and the need to protect and enhance patient  safety  in
