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

25 cle one hundred thirty of this title shall apply to this article.

1 S 3. Section 8001 of the education law, as added by chapter 635 of the
2 laws of 1991, is amended to read as follows:
3 S 8001. [Definitions] DIETETIC AND NUTRITION PRACTICE. [1. Dietetics
4 and nutrition are herein each defined as the integration and applica-
5 tion of principles derived from the sciences of nutrition, biochemistry,
6 physiology, food management and behavioral and social sciences to
7 achieve and maintain people's health.
8 2. Where the title "certified dietitian" or "certified nutritionist"
9 is used in this article it shall mean "certified dietitian", "certified
10 dietician", or "certified nutritionist".
11 3. A certified dietitian or certified nutritionist is one who engages
12 in the integration and application of principles derived from the
13 sciences of nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, food management and
14 behavioral and social sciences to achieve and maintain people's health,
15 and who is certified as such by the department pursuant to section eight
16 thousand four of this article. The primary function of a certified
17 dietitian or certified nutritionist is the provision of nutrition care
18 services that shall include:
19 (a) Assessing nutrition needs and food patterns;
20 (b) Planning for and directing the provision of food appropriate for
21 physical and nutrition needs; and
22 (c) Providing nutrition counseling.] DIETETIC AND NUTRITION PRACTICE
23 IS THE APPLICATION OF MEDICAL NUTRITION THERAPY AND A STANDARDIZED
24 NUTRITION CARE PROCESS, INCLUDING NUTRITION ASSESSMENT, NUTRITION DIAG-
25 NOSIS, NUTRITION INTERVENTION, AND NUTRITION EVALUATION AND MONITORING
26 FOR THE PREVENTION OR TREATMENT OF NUTRITION RELATED ILLNESSES, NOURISH-
27 MENT, AND EDUCATION OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE LIFECYCLE.
28 S 4. The education law is amended by adding a new section 8001-a to

31 NUTRITION THERAPY" IS AN EVIDENCE BASED APPLICATION OF THE NUTRITION
32 CARE PROCESS FOCUSED ON PREVENTION, DELAY OR MANAGEMENT OF DISEASES AND
33 CONDITIONS, AND INVOLVES AN IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT, PERIODIC REASSESSMENT
34 AND INTERVENTION.
35 2. "NUTRITION DIAGNOSIS" IN THE CONTEXT OF DIETETICS AND NUTRITION
36 PRACTICE MEANS THE IDENTIFICATION AND LABELING OF EXISTING NUTRITION
37 PROBLEMS EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF ETIOLOGY, SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. NUTRITION
38 DIAGNOSIS IS DISTINCT FROM A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS.
39 3. "NUTRITION ASSESSMENT" MEANS THE SYSTEMATIC PROCESS OF OBTAINING,
40 VERIFYING, AND INTERPRETING BIOCHEMICAL, ANTHROPOMETRIC, PHYSICAL AND
41 DIETARY DATA IN ORDER TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF

43 PROCESS THAT INVOLVES INITIAL DATA COLLECTION, REASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS
44 OF CLIENT OR COMMUNITY NEEDS AND PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR NUTRITION
45 DIAGNOSIS AND NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING ENTERAL AND PAREN-
46 TERAL NUTRITION. THE MERE COLLECTION OF THESE DATA FOR USE IN A NUTRI-
47 TION ASSESSMENT IS NOT A NUTRITION ASSESSMENT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A
48 LICENSE IN DIETETICS AND NUTRITION AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE.
49 4. "NUTRITION INTERVENTION" IS A PURPOSEFULLY PLANNED ACTION, DESIGNED
50 TO POSITIVELY CHANGE NUTRITION RELATED BEHAVIOR, RISK FACTOR, ENVIRON-
