Summary

The bill changes the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments so that the Health Secretary, not the FDA, oversees laboratory‑developed tests. It adds clear definitions for terms such as analytical validity, clinical use, and digital laboratory data, and requires that these tests have reasonable assurance of analytical and clinical validity. The goal is to improve safety and consistency of tests that labs create and use for patient care.
