Establishes training and registration requirements for kidney dialysis patient care technicians
This bill establishes mandatory training and registration requirements for individuals who perform kidney dialysis services but are not licensed as doctors, nurses, or physician assistants (referred to as "kidney dialysis patient care technicians"). It requires the health commissioner to set training standards covering roles, dialysis therapy, and legal responsibilities, which must be provided by dialysis centers, schools, or approved organizations. Technicians must complete training and register with the state to use the title or provide services, though current workers with two years of experience before the law's effective date are exempt from registration for one year. The law takes effect 365 days after enactment, with implementation rules to be finalized beforehand.
