AI Summary
This bill modernizes the regulation of clinical laboratories in Massachusetts. It introduces a new definition for "CLIA-Waived Test," which refers to tests that the federal government has determined to be low-risk and eligible for a waiver from certain regulatory requirements. The bill also removes the existing definitions for "Complex Laboratory Test" and "Simple Laboratory Test," and updates the definition of "Exempt Test" to include CLIA-waived tests and provider-performed microscopy. Additionally, the bill grants the state Department of Public Health the authority to establish minimum qualifications for clinical laboratory directors, and it removes certain reporting requirements for laboratories.
