Approve with amendment.
 

It seems like a good proposal if the text reads that it would be permissable in the absence of a licensed tech on premises. If the aim of the legislation is to provide authority to a non-licensed person, it seems logical to caveat it to be permitted in the absence of a license holder. That would negate the argument that the legislation is undermining the LVT. If one is not available, a non-licensed catheter placement is better than no catheter placement..
