N.Y. Public Health Law § 574: Permits

§ 574. Permits. No person shall own or operate a clinical laboratory

located in or accepting specimens from New York state or own or operate

a blood bank which collects, processes, stores and/or distributes, human

blood, blood derivatives or blood components, in New York state unless a

valid permit has been issued as provided in section five hundred

seventy-five of this title. A permit shall be issued authorizing the

performance of one or more procedures or services within one or more

categories. A separate permit shall be required for each facility at

which clinical laboratory tests are to be performed or at which a blood

bank is to be operated, provided, however that the department may adopt

regulations not inconsistent with the federal clinical laboratory

improvement act of nineteen hundred eighty-eight authorizing an owner to

operate more than one facility under a single permit.
