CSP Advocacy Committee successfully testifies in Hartford to win a critical change to SB-4

"and (B) does not include any individual who (i) is licensed by this state to provide health care services, and (ii) while acting within the scope of such individual's practice, orders genetic testing for a medical purpose;”

Why does this single sentence in a 31 page omnibus consumer data privacy protection bill matter?

CSP's testimony ensured protection of CT pathologists and other physicians from burdensome regulatory requirements directed at direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies. 

Who in CSP achieved this?  Your CSP Advocacy Committee

CT legislature only allows a few days to review and respond to proposed legislation, the CSP Advocacy Committee in coordination with the College of American Pathologists, prepared written and oral testimony to the CT General Law Committee.  In addition, the CSP Advocacy Committee reached out to the CT Hospital Association and CT State Medical Society to also submit written testimony in support of CSP's position to amend the raised bill.
