House Resolution No. by Representative Stagni urges the Louisiana Department of Health to collaborate with the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners to study and recommend improvements for the licensing process of nondiagnostic technicians. This initiative is driven by the increasing clinical need for plasma-derived therapies, which are essential for treating various rare and chronic diseases. The resolution highlights the challenges patients face in accessing these therapies and emphasizes the importance of source plasma donation centers, which not only provide critical medical resources but also create job opportunities and contribute to the local economy.

The resolution calls for a more efficient licensing process for nondiagnostic technicians, as Louisiana's current system requires individual licensing rather than clinic-level licensing, which is the practice in other states. By streamlining this process, the resolution aims to enhance access to source plasma and expand employment opportunities in the state. The recommendations from this study are to be submitted in a written report to the House Committee on Health and Welfare by February 1, 2025, ensuring that the findings are communicated effectively to relevant stakeholders.
