Expands certifications for restricted clinical laboratory licenses and restricts toxicology testing to authorized labs.

The bill amends the education law to expand the types of certifications accepted for restricted clinical laboratory licenses. It allows restricted licensees to perform additional examinations and procedures, including molecular testing and proteomics, if they hold the appropriate certifications. The bill also mandates that toxicology testing can only be performed in laboratories authorized by the New York State Department of Health. This change aims to enhance the scope of practice for restricted licensees while ensuring the quality and safety of toxicology testing.
