Summary

Existing law requires all tissue banks, with certain specified exceptions, to be licensed by the State Department of Public Health. This bill would add to the list of licensure exceptions the storage of a human cell, tissue, or cellular- or tissue-based product that is either a medical device or a biologic product, as defined, by a licensed physician or podiatrist acting within the scope of his or her license and practicing in a lawful practice setting, as specified. The bill would also require, to be eligible for this exemption, that the entity where the physician or podiatrist practices notify the department of specified information.
