The Department of Health and Environment proposed amendments to an existing rule and to adopt a new rule concerning health and environmental laboratory certification. The amendments to the existing rule would, among other things, clarify defined terms, modify rules for field laboratories, and update fees, and the new rule would describe requirements for environmental laboratories to achieve and maintain certification, maintain the two-tier certification system, and provide detailed requirements for applications, assessments, proficiency testing, and certification changes. A hearing will be held September 17, 2024. Comments are due August 26, 2024. See https://sos.ks.gov/publications/Register/Volume-43/Issues/Issue-26/06-27-24-52259.html.
