The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) are administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS oversees the regulation of laboratory testing and ensures that laboratories meet specific quality standards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also play roles in the regulatory framework surrounding laboratory testing under CLIA.
The Executive branch administers and enforces criminal laws, primarily through agencies like the Department of Justice and law enforcement.
CLIA for medical abbreviation means "Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act".
CLIA means Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments.

The purpose of CLIA is to set minimum standards for all laboratories to follow and to determine if laboratories are achieving those standards.

There is no specific count available for the number of laboratories in the US that are not CLIA certified. However, it is estimated that a small percentage of laboratories may operate without CLIA certification, which is required by federal law to ensure quality and accuracy in diagnostic testing.
