Bill > H1974

This bill establishes a board of registration of phlebotomists in Massachusetts. The board will be responsible for setting the requirements for phlebotomist licensure, continuing education, and professional and ethical standards. The bill defines a phlebotomist as someone who collects blood samples, separates them into test tubes, and ensures the samples are properly labeled and sent to the laboratory. The bill requires phlebotomists to be licensed by the board and hold a current certification from an approved national certification agency. It also provides a one-year grace period for experienced phlebotomists to obtain a license without meeting the full educational requirements.
