RPT Priority #8: End Federal Overreach ENDORSED

HB 964 addresses the regulation of laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) during federally declared public health emergencies. It considers clinical laboratories conducting LDTs as state agencies for regulatory purposes, limiting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's oversight. It ensures laboratories maintain liability under applicable laws while reinforcing intrastate control of health emergency responses. The bill takes effect immediately upon sufficient legislative approval or on September 1, 2025.
