AN  ACT  to  amend  the  education  law, in relation to the licensure of
  dietitians and nutritionists

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Legislative findings and declaration of purpose. The legis-
lature  finds  that  the application of scientific knowledge relating to
nutrition is important in effective care, treatment  and  prevention  of
disease  or  trauma and in the attainment and maintenance of health, and
acknowledges that the rendering and communication of sound dietetic  and
nutrition  services in hospitals, nursing homes, extended care and ambu-
latory care settings,  school  districts,  health  departments,  private
practice  and  consultation,  and in other settings requires trained and
competent professionals. The legislature further finds that it is neces-
sary in the provision of medical  nutrition  therapy  for  such  profes-
sionals  to be licensed under article 157 of the education law to ensure
quality care through a standardized nutrition care  process,  consisting
of  a  nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention
and the monitoring and evaluation of outcomes directly  related  to  the
nutrition  care  process.  Therefore,  it  is  hereby declared to be the
purpose of this act to protect the health, safety, and  welfare  of  the
public  by  providing for the licensure and regulation of the activities
of persons engaged in the practice of dietetics and nutrition.
  S 2. Section 8000 of the education law, as added by chapter 635 of the
laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows:
  S 8000. Introduction.  This article applies to the use of  the  titles
["certified   dietitian"   and   "certified   nutritionist"]   "LICENSED
DIETITIAN/NUTRITIONIST" OR "LDN"  AND  THE  PRACTICE  OF  DIETETICS  AND
NUTRITION.  The general provision for all professions contained in arti-
cle one hundred thirty of this title shall apply to this article.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD10500-02-3
