Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law and the public health law, in relation to dental laboratories
AI Summary
This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for dental laboratories operating in New York State, requiring them to register with the Department of Health and meet specific operational standards. The legislation mandates that any dental laboratory doing business in the state must submit a detailed registration application including information about the laboratory's location, responsible person, infection control practices, and a commitment to providing material content disclosure to prescribing dentists. The bill defines key terms like "dental laboratory" (a facility that designs, makes, or repairs dental prostheses and appliances) and introduces requirements for both in-state and out-of-state dental laboratories, such as obtaining a registration number, maintaining detailed records, and disclosing the origin of dental work. The registration is valid for three years and comes with potential penalties for non-compliance, including civil fines up to $1,000 per day for operating without a valid registration. The bill also updates existing education law to incorporate these new registration requirements, ensuring that dental laboratories provide transparent information about their operations, materials used, and manufacturing locations. The new regulations aim to enhance patient safety, improve transparency in dental laboratory practices, and establish clear standards for dental laboratory operations in New York.
