Governor Pataki signed the MOLST bill (PHL § 2977(13)) establishing a pilot of the MOLST program in Monroe and Onondaga Counties on October 11, 2005. This bill allowed for the use of the MOLST form in lieu of the New York State Nonhospital Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form. The Pilot was officially launched on May 1, 2006. A Chapter Amendment (PHL § 2977(13)) signed by Governor Pataki on July 26, 2006, permitted EMS to honor Do Not Intubate (DNI) instructions prior to full cardiopulmonary arrest only in Monroe and Onondaga Counties during the MOLST Pilot and provides a carve out for persons with mental retardation and developmental disabilities without capacity. Individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities with capacity can complete a MOLST form.
