The bill amends Florida Statutes sections 483.815 and 483.823, focusing on the licensure requirements for clinical laboratory personnel. It introduces a new requirement for applicants qualifying under specific circumstances to provide proof of compliance and pay the necessary fees to be considered eligible for licensure. This change is reflected in the insertion of new language in section 483.815, which specifies that applicants must meet these conditions to obtain their licenses.

Additionally, the bill establishes new qualifications for technologist and technician applicants in section 483.823. It states that those who meet the federal requirements for performing high or moderate complexity testing are deemed to have satisfied the minimum qualifications for licensure in Florida. This is outlined in the newly added subsections (3) and (4), which clarify the criteria for licensure based on federal regulations. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
