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 current limited licensing provision for clinical laboratory technicians for two years, until 2018.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 - Amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 8610 of the education law, as added by Chapter 336 of the laws of 2013.
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 out of state individuals to address the shortage of lab technicians with more than 5 years of experience needed for supervising positions. That section would be extended until 2018. This provision will provide time to address this shortage in the long-term.
Legislative history
