Can the Office of Laboratory Service licensure program personnel give permission for a person to perform laboratory testing at their workplace if they do not have a current license?
A. The licensure program personnel at the OLS cannot give permission for someone to continue to perform testing illegally on an expired license. The licensure program mails the renewals well in advance of the expiration date of the licenses. It is the responsibility of the licensees to return their paperwork along with the required continuing education by the return date so there is enough time for the licenses to be processed. There is no grace period. Once the license expires, a person cannot perform laboratory testing until a new license is in-hand.
