BILL NUMBER:S4097A

Title of bill

An act to amend the education law, in relation to a limited license for clinical laboratory technology

Purpose

This bill would extend the authorization for the limited clinical laboratory license.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 - Amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 8610 of the education law, as added by Chapter 204 of the Laws of 2008.

Section 2 - Effective date

Justification

There is an annual demand of approximately 640 new laboratory professionals while only approximately 230 are graduated annually. In addition it has been estimated that 10% of the current workforce plans to retire within the next five years.

This bill would extend current law set to expire later this year allowing for the issuance of limited licenses to address the shortage of lab technicians until 2016.
