 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to local block anesthesia
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 6605-b of the education law, as  added  by  chapter
 437 of the laws of 2001, is amended to read as follows:
   § 6605-b.  Dental  hygiene  restricted  local  infiltration  AND BLOCK
 anesthesia/nitrous oxide analgesia certificate. 1.  A  dental  hygienist
 shall  not administer or monitor nitrous oxide analgesia or local infil-
 tration OR BLOCK anesthesia in the practice of dental hygiene without  a
 dental    hygiene    restricted    local    infiltration    AND    BLOCK
 anesthesia/nitrous oxide analgesia  certificate  and  except  under  the
 personal  supervision  of a dentist and in conjunction with the perform-
 ance of dental hygiene procedures authorized by law  and  in  accordance
 with  regulations promulgated by the commissioner. Personal supervision,
 for purposes of this section, means that the supervising dentist remains
 in the dental office where the local infiltration OR BLOCK anesthesia or
 nitrous oxide analgesia services are being performed, personally author-
 izes and prescribes the use of local infiltration OR BLOCK anesthesia or
 nitrous oxide analgesia for the patient and,  before  dismissal  of  the
 patient,  personally examines the condition of the patient after the use
 of local infiltration OR BLOCK anesthesia or nitrous oxide analgesia  is
 completed.  It  is  professional  misconduct  for  a  dentist to fail to
 provide the supervision required by this section, and any dentist  found
 guilty  of  such  misconduct  under the procedures prescribed in section
 sixty-five hundred ten of this [title] ARTICLE shall be subject  to  the
 penalties  prescribed  in  section  sixty-five  hundred  eleven  of this
 [title] ARTICLE.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
