What this refers to
-
AB 481 (2025-2026 session)
Healing arts: clinical laboratories: personnel.
Proposed. This is not law unless it passes.
The item cites only the number. Bill numbers repeat every session, and nothing in the item says this is the 2025-2026 one.
Existing law prohibits, except as specified, a person from performing a clinical laboratory test or examination classified as of moderate or high complexity under the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) unless the test or examination is performed under the overall operation and administration of the laboratory director, as specified. A violation of these provisions is a crime.
