Editorial Calls on Lawmakers To Pass Clinic Oversight Bill

The Senate Committee on Appropriations should approve a bill (SB 1150) by Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod (D-Chino), that aims to establish guidelines for the operation of independent surgical centers and fertility clinics, an Inland Valley Daily Bulletin editorial states. The editorial continues, "Sacramento needs to close the loopholes that allow fertility and surgery clinics to operate without sufficient medical oversight, to the potential detriment and endangerment of patients."
