CA AB2107

Authorizes pathologists performing pathology services at a state-licensed primary laboratory site to review digital materials (laboratory data, results, and digital images) at remote locations using virtual private networks or other secure methods under the primary site's CLIA certificate.

Classifies remote locations where pathologists access digital materials as extensions of a primary site's CLIA certificate, exempting them from requiring separate licenses or registrations.

Requires the State Department of Public Health to consult with the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services by June 30, 2025, and determine by January 1, 2026, whether remote pathology review conforms to federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA).

Mandates the department to communicate its conformity determination to the Legislature and Legislative Counsel Bureau if it concludes remote review complies with federal law.

Sunsets the authorization mechanism (Section 1265.3) on January 1, 2027, while the remote review authorization (Section 1265.2) remains operative if the department's determination confirms federal compliance.
