RE: [Histonet] Resubmitting the question regarding 2011 CA Certification

2009-07-02 Thread Morken, Tim 
Akemi, here is an answer to your question about California histotech 
certification / licensure. 

PA's have to be certified, but not licensed. There are no requirements for 
histotechs.

Tim,
Per our Laboratory Field Services Program, AB 2156 (Niello, Chapter 319, 
Statutes of 2006) was signed into law in 2006.  This bill specified that a 
Pathologist's assistant had to be certified by a specified board (Business and 
Professions Code Section 1269.3).  There is no requirement for a state license. 
 The bill also indicated the duties that could be performed by a histologic 
technician and a histotechnologist, but again, no license is required.

Please let me know if you need anything further.

Thanks,
Jennifer Simoes, Assistant Deputy Director
Legislative and Governmental Affairs
Department of Public Health

Hi, Can you tell me if there has been any previous or recent proposed 
legislation to require a license for Histotechnician or Histotechnologist at 
clinical laboratories?

Thanks!

Good Morning,

I have not received any replies to my proposed question regarding the  
following question.  I don't know if the histotech's that have the  
answers were on vacation, but I sure would like any information.   
Below is the original e-mail:

I need your assistance on a on-going question which has been kicked  
around since 2005.  I tried to look this up in the Histonet Archives,  
but was unsuccessful.  Perhaps, my key words were incorrect.  Anyway,  
it was my understanding that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger put a  
mandate on all laboratory staff, including histologists, that they  
were required to be certified by 2011.  It was further my  
understanding that un-certified histology staff were only going to be  
able to work as histology assistants.  Could I get some clarification  
on this matter.

Thanks,
Akemi Allison-Tacha BS, HT/HTL

Hi Akemi,

The only time I remember anyone ever saying California histotechs had to be
certified was when you posted something a while back.  You didn't give any
information about from where this information came.  Where'd you hear this
rumor?

This rumor has gone as far as my classroom.  Our teacher has mentioned it for 
many years as a possibility.  I have never seen or heard of any official 
source.

I think I remember someone saying once that this was part of a failed piece
of legislation.  I thought I'd read it on histonet, but I couldn't find an
old post saying that.
