Public Health - Newborn Screening Program - Fees and Core Conditions

Summary

It requires the State Advisory Council on Hereditary and Congenital Disorders to evaluate any new condition added to the federal Recommended Uniform Screening Panel and advise the department on whether to implement testing. The measure also sets reporting rules for delayed or postponed testing and directs fee revenues to the Newborn Screening Program Fund.
