Sec.19a-36-A34. Serologists to be certified

Before any serological test for syphilis may be reported for use or used as an aid to the diagnosis or the exclusion of syphilis, any person performing such test shall have demonstrated a standard of proficiency in performing such test which will fulfill the requirements of the state department of health and such person shall hold an unexpired certificate to perform such test which shall be issued by the state department of health subject to revocation for cause and to annual renewal. Serological tests performed entirely for instructional, research or experimental purposes and serological tests performed by a physician for use only in his private practice are exempted from this requirement.
