Minnesota HF2464 modifies environmental laboratory accreditation standards.

Minnesota HF2464 amends the state's environmental laboratory accreditation standards. It requires laboratories to analyze supplemental test samples within 15 days of an initial failed proficiency test and participate in the second annual study. If a laboratory fails two consecutive proficiency tests, the commissioner will revoke its accreditation. The bill also allows the commissioner to require additional proficiency testing if necessary and to collect additional costs from laboratories granted exemptions.
