    5         Section 76. Section 483.111, Florida Statutes, is amended
    6  to read:
    7         483.111 Limitations on licensure.—A license may be issued
    8  to a clinical laboratory to perform only those clinical
    9  laboratory procedures and tests that are within the specialties
   10  or subspecialties in which the clinical laboratory personnel are
   11  qualified. A license may not be issued unless the agency
   12  determines that the clinical laboratory is adequately staffed
   13  and equipped to operate in conformity with the requirements of
   14  this part, part II of chapter 408, and applicable rules. A
   15  clinical laboratory may not perform quantitative drug testing
   16  using high-complexity tests, as categorized under the federal
   17  Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, unless the
   18  clinical laboratory is accredited through the College of
   19  American Pathologists and submits to and passes available
   20  proficiency testing for analytes applicable to the drug-testing
   21  methods that the clinical laboratory uses. Existing licensed
   22  clinical laboratories subject to this accreditation requirement
   23  must apply for accreditation by September 1, 2013, and must
   24  obtain accreditation by July 1, 2014. A licensed clinical
   25  laboratory fully owned and operated by a Florida-licensed
   26  hospital is exempt from the accreditation requirements of this
   27  section.
