From the CSP President
Dear Colleagues,
I am immensely proud to report to you that CSP has made great strides this year in our advocacy efforts within the state legislature in Sacramento.
CSP’s sponsored legislation, AB 2107, which will allow pathologists to perform remote digital pathology review using
the primary site's CLIA, has been approved by the State Assembly!! The bill now moves to the State Senate, where it will be considered later this year. Please see Dr. Anne Deucher’s CSP Advocacy Report below for more detail on the back-and-forth process report she and her committee undertook to navigate the bill past some significant opposition.
In April, eight CSP volunteer leaders travelled to Sacramento to lobby legislators in support of AB 2107. We participated in the California Medical Association’s annual legislative advocacy day and, in the afternoon, shepherded by our lobbyists Ryan Spencer and Cathleen Galgiani, met with legislators and staff seeking their support for AB 2107.
CSP leaders are welcomed on the floor of the State Assembly chambers in Sacramento.
