Block funds for FDA lab test rule

This bill would bar any federal funds from being used to carry out the FDA’s final rule on “Medical Devices; Laboratory Developed Tests.” The rule was submitted May 6, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg. 37286). It would also block funding for any substantially similar rule, even if other laws would allow it. Clinical labs and test developers could avoid new FDA compliance steps and costs.
