CA SB1432

Requires the State Department of Public Health to develop a triplicate form for clinical laboratory employees to report improperly secured specimen storage containers, with copies distributed to the licensee, Department of Consumer Affairs, and laboratory records.

Mandates that notices of improper specimen storage be both mailed and emailed to the Department of Consumer Affairs, which must forward them to the appropriate licensing entity.

Requires the Department of Consumer Affairs to make the specimen storage notification form available on its internet website.

Updates terminology throughout the statute to refer to the "State Department of Public Health" instead of "State Department of Health Services" and uses gender-neutral pronouns ("their" instead of "his or her").

Applies only to biological specimens retrieved from public places outside the control of the clinical laboratory licensee and not secured in locked containers; does not apply to specimens received by mail in compliance with applicable laws.
