 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.
