STATEMENT

���� This bill revises the
requirements for polysomnography license fees.� The bill provides that neither
the initial license fee nor the license renewal fee shall exceed $150 for
polysomnographic technologists or polysomnographic technicians, or $50 for polysomnographic
trainees.� Currently, the fee for initial and renewed licensure as a
polysomnographic technologist is $500, to be renewed on a biennial basis.� The
fee for initial and renewed licensure as a polysomnographic technician is $150,
and the fee for initial licensure as a trainee is $50.

���� These fees are comparable to
the initial licensing and license renewal fees for medical doctors.� This bill
makes polysomnography initial licensing and license renewal fees more
affordable for practitioners, and makes these fees comparable to other similarly
trained licensed professionals at the same time.
