California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 2 — Healing ArtsChapter 3 — Clinical Laboratory TechnologyArticle 5 — Offenses Against the ChapterSection 1281
It is unlawful for any person to own, operate, maintain, direct, or engage in the business of operating a clinical laboratory, as defined in this chapter, unless he or she possesses a valid clinical laboratory license issued by the department. In the event a health facility does not perform clinical laboratory services, but provides laboratory services to its patients under an agreement with another person or entity that holds and is operating under a valid clinical laboratory license, the health facility shall not be required to obtain a clinical laboratory license.
Notes
Prohibits owning, operating, maintaining, directing, or engaging in the business of operating a clinical laboratory without a valid department-issued clinical laboratory license. A health facility needs no such license if it performs no clinical laboratory services itself and instead provides laboratory services to patients through an agreement with a validly licensed operator.
