NEWBORN METABOLIC SCREENING

Summary

The bill changes the name of the state’s Genetic and Metabolic Diseases Advisory Committee to the Universal Newborn Screening Advisory Committee and gives it new responsibilities, including quarterly meetings and reviewing conditions for screening. It also requires all newborns to be screened for certain genetic, metabolic, and congenital disorders, sets a base fee for testing, and outlines how the Department of Public Health must manage testing, follow‑up, and treatment. The changes take effect immediately and the bill is now with the governor.
