Exempts WIC clinic staff from prohibitions on performing hematological screening tests.
The bill amends state law to exempt staff at special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children (WIC) clinics from prohibitions on performing hematological screening tests. These tests, limited to heel-stick, toe-stick, or finger-stick methods, are allowed under the direct supervision of an on-site health care provider. This change ensures WIC clinic staff can administer necessary tests to participants.
