CAP Officially Urges HHS to Drop FDA Regulation, Use Other Channels

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) has officially asked HHS to drop its support of the FDA LDT regulation, and thus pursue the "deregulation" that the new government is all about.

See their February 24, 2025, press release here:

The press release cites the President's own executive order to de-regulate.  The article links to a February 14 letter to RFK Jr and a January 21 letter to the DJT team.   

They also link to the "Freedom for Laboratory Innovation and Testing Act (FLITA) which would stop FDA funding from being used to implement the rule.   This is consistent with current efforts to avoid government debt by de-funding numerous types of programs.
