Hi Kathy and NY Histotechicians/technologists,
Yes, the new regulations will affect us. We are classified under the
heading of clinical laboratory technicians/technologists and are subject
to licensure. I would recommend signing up for the mailing list and
checking into the website routinely.
The following is a post from the Histonet archives that has a few links
and a timeline of events.

Dr. Kathleen Doyle from NYS will be presenting an informational session
at the Region 1 meeting in Saratoga Springs on Friday, April 28th. The
Region 1 program (April 28th & 29th) can be accessed at

March 2006
The State Education Department, with the assistance of the State Board
for
Clinical Laboratory Technology and interested parties are in the
process of
developing draft regulations that will be necessary for the licensure
of the
professionals as clinical laboratory technologists, Cytotechnologists,
and clinical
laboratory technicians. Once these draft regulations are completed,
they will
be submitted to all interested parties and published in the State
Register
for comment. At the end of this process, regulations will be presented
for
consideration and action by the Board of Regents. It is anticipated
that this
process will be completed by mid- summer in 2006. Applications packets
for licensure
will not be available until the regulations are enacted. Prior to the
enactment of the regulations, the Department cannot provide any
specific information
to individuals regarding licensure under the "Special Provisions" or
"grandparenting.." As soon as the regulations are enacted, this
information will be
available.
As soon as the regulations are enacted by the State Board of Regents,
the
Department will publish a Guide to Practice for the professions of
Clinical
Laboratory Technology, Clinical Laboratory Technician, and
Cytotechnology, as well
as an application packet for these professions. When they are
available, the
applications will be published on this website and can be downloaded
and
submitted to the Department. Applicants who wish to receive a hard copy
of the Guide
to Practice and the Application Packet may submit an e- mail request
for the
information now, but should not expect to receive this information
before the
summer of 2006. A notice will be put on this website when the
applications are
ready to be mailed.
Clinical Laboratory Technicians, Clinical Laboratory Technologists and
Cytotechnologists who want to request to be placed on a mailing list
now for a hard
copy of the application packet and receive it in the summer of 2006
should
send an e- mail to OPFORMS <@t> mail.nysed.gov, giving their name and
address, and
specify the packet they want by:
Code 92A and profession title: Clinical Laboratory
Technologist/Clinical
Laboratory Technician, or
Code 93A and profession title: Cytotechnology.
