Section 38 Clinical Laboratories Statute 2

Section 2 of said chapter 111D of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2018 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out clause (9) and inserting in place thereof the following 2 clauses:-

(9) to classify, with the advice of the advisory committee on clinical laboratories, laboratory tests as exempt for purposes of licensing physician clinical laboratories; and

(10) to establish minimum qualifications of laboratory personnel.

This section, along with four others, aligns the DPH clinical laboratories statute with federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) testing classifications.
