Bill > A01364

This bill establishes a comprehensive registration and oversight system for dental laboratories in New York State, requiring any dental laboratory operating or intending to do business in the state to register with the Department of Health. The bill defines key terms such as "dental laboratory" (a facility that designs, makes, or repairs dental prosthetics and appliances), "material content disclosure" (a detailed notice about the origin and materials used in dental work), and "responsible person" (the primary owner or supervisor of a dental laboratory). Laboratories must submit an application that includes detailed information about their business, including contact details, infection control practices, acknowledgments about material disclosures, and information about staff qualifications. The registration is valid for three years and requires a fee of up to $150. The bill also covers out-of-state dental laboratories, mandating that they register if they provide work to New York-based dentists, designate a local agent, and comply with state regulations. Penalties for non-compliance include civil fines up to $1,000 per day for operating without registration and potential suspension or revocation of registration for misrepresentation or failure to meet requirements. The bill aims to increase transparency, ensure quality control, and provide better tracking of dental laboratory operations and materials used in dental prosthetics.
