S 5975 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes training and registration requirements for kidney dialysis patient care technicians

This bill establishes training and registration requirements for individuals who perform kidney dialysis services but are not licensed medical professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, or physician assistants). It mandates that these technicians complete approved training covering dialysis therapy, roles, and legal responsibilities, then register with the health department to legally use the title or provide services. Existing technicians with at least two years of experience are exempt from the registration requirement for one year after the law takes effect. The law directly affects dialysis technicians and providers, ensuring standardized training before practice.
