Amends the Genetic Counselor Licensing Act. Provides that "genetic counseling" can include genetic testing. Provides that "referral" may mean a written or telecommunicated authorization for genetic counseling services from a physician assistant who has a supervision agreement with a supervising physician that authorizes referrals to a genetic counselor (now, "who has been delegated authority to make referrals to genetic counselors"). Provides that genetic testing shall be ordered by a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches or a genetic counselor (now, only a physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches). Provides that the physician, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant shall maintain supervision of the patient and be provided timely written reports on the services, including genetic testing results, provided by the licensed genetic counselor. In a provision concerning privileged communications and information, adds the exception for a disclosure made by the genetic counselor to the referring physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant. In a provision concerning grounds for discipline, adds the failure to provide genetic testing results and any requested information to a referring physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, advanced practice nurse, or physician assistant as a ground for discipline. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
