In unusual fits of intelligence and rapid action, the California Department of Public Health has decided that personal genomics companies 23andMe and Navigenics will be granted a license to perform their testing in the state.
The state originally sent the companies cease and desist letters back in June (example for 23andMe here [word doc warning]) when they dared offer consumers a service without the blessing of bureaucrats. New York took a similar action back in April.
It's nice to see California change their tune, hopefully this will prompt NY to rethink their policy.
