- VALID Act Reintroduced in Congress
The CAP appreciates the leadership of House Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) and Diana DeGette (D-CO) for reintroducing the Verifying Accurate, Leading-edge IVCT Development (VALID) Act on March 29. The CAP supported the VALID Act in the last Congress, but lawmakers were unable to reach a consensus on moving forward with the bill.
The CAP believes with the recent change in congressional leadership, increased partisan division, and shifts in priorities make it even less likely Congress will be able to reach a consensus on laboratory-developed test (LDT) reform in the next two years. The CAP expects the next move on LDTs to come from the Food and Drug Administration which has previously stated it would initiate rule making if Congress did not act.
