Plain-English Summary

The proposal would change how the federal government oversees laboratory tests that are developed and used by individual medical labs rather than mass-produced by companies. Currently, these "lab-developed tests" face minimal federal oversight, but this bill would require them to meet stricter safety and accuracy standards similar to commercial tests. The changes would affect hospitals, diagnostic labs, and patients who rely on these tests for medical decisions.
