	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 830, as introduced, Holden. Clinical laboratories.
   Existing law provides for the licensure, registration, and
regulation of clinical laboratories and various clinical laboratory
personnel by the State Department of Public Health. Existing law, the
Administrative Procedure Act, establishes the requirements for the
adoption, publication, review, and implementation of regulations by
state agencies. Existing law allows the State Department of Public
Health to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations necessary for the
administration of clinical laboratories.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
