[Histonet] NSH bulletin (In Action)

[Brad Miller]

NYS Legislative Update - April 6, 2008
In the last few weeks there has been a lot of activity on the legislative 
front in NYS. As a recap, a law (Article 165) requiring licensing of all 
clinical laboratory personnel was passed by the NYS legislation and went 
into effect in September of 2006 (please visit 
http://www.op.nysed.gov/clp-cltlic.htm for specific details). Unfortunately, 
histologists did not have representation on the board that crafted the 
license nor did we have lobbyists working for our interests. As a result 
there is no language describing the scope of practice for histologists, no 
distinction between technician and technologist and no provision for 
academic training requirements (curriculum).
