On January 16, one of his last days in office, Governor Jon Corzine signed into law a bill correcting an error that restricted both performance and interpretation of NCSs to physicians and certain other health care professionals. The law took effect immediately. It is now again be statutorily legal for physicians to supervise the performance of NCSs by technologists.
It was never the legislature's intent to prohibit this practice. The inadvertent addition of a single word to a 2005 law during committee revision changed the meaning to require both interpretation and performance of NCSs by physicians and certain other health care professionals. That problem is now fixed.
