California Out-of-State Clinical Laboratory License

California Business and Professions Code (BPC) section 1265 (e) and (g) require clinical laboratories to notify Laboratory Field Services within 5 days of a qualified interim director. The laboratory must submit a completed application within 30 days of a major change of directorship, ownership, name, location.

Major Change of Director (Out-of-State)

A major change in laboratory directorship means less than half of the laboratory directors will remain after the change. See BPC 1211 (j) on References

ā€œA major change in laboratory directorshipā€ means a change in laboratory director or directors resulting in the situation where less than 50 percent of the laboratory directors to whom the current laboratory license is issued remain after the change.
