The Board of Clinical Laboratory Personnel oversees clinical laboratory affairs in the state of Florida.

The Board's seven members are appointed by the Governor of Florida to serve four-year terms. Five of the seven members are licensed clinical laboratory practitioners and the remaining two, referred to as "consumer members," have never been licensed as clinical laboratory personnel and have no connection to the laboratory profession.

The Board has the authority to:

• Establish rules for clinical laboratory science
• Set the necessary qualifications for clinical laboratory science personnel, including higher education, training programs, and examinations administered by the Board
• Oversee clinical laboratory training program and continuing education providers
• Issue licenses to clinical laboratory personnel
• Collect fees for licensing, license renewals, and delinquent licenses
• Enforce penalties, including license suspension and fines up to $10,000, for violations of Board rules governing ethics in clinical laboratory science
