Expands the type of certifications that may be accepted by the state of New York for restricted licenses

Summary

The bill changes state education law to let restricted‑license holders earn certificates for more laboratory specialties, including histocompatibility, cytogenetics, stem‑cell processing, flow cytometry, molecular testing, and toxicology, if they have a nationally recognized specialist certification. It also gives extra testing authority to workers at National Cancer Institute‑designated cancer centers and teaching hospitals, but only at those sites. The changes take effect one year after the law is enacted.
