Bill > A02659

This bill requires all schools in New York to conduct yearly inspections of audiological testing equipment used during hearing examinations. Specifically, the bill mandates that all audiological testing equipment must be inspected and tested at least once per year, following the manufacturer's standards and any applicable government agency guidelines. If any equipment fails to meet these standards, it must be replaced with new equipment. The bill defines audiological testing equipment as any device or instrument used during hearing examinations, as outlined in section 905 of the education law. The legislation will go into effect 30 days after it becomes law, and education authorities are authorized to develop and implement any necessary regulations in preparation for the bill's implementation.
