2005 SESSION
SB 1184 Newborn screening.
Introduced by: Linda T. Puller | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Newborn screening. Broadens the Commonwealth's newborn screening program for genetic disorders to include approximately 30 or more conditions that cause mental retardation, serious disability, or death if left untreated. The screening tests to be included in Virginia's panel of disorders will be consistent with, but not necessarily identical to, the uniform condition panel recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics in its report, Newborn Screening: Toward a Uniform Screening Panel and System. Upon the issuance of a panel of recommended tests by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, Virginia's testing program will be consistent with, but not necessarily identical to, the federal guidance document. The Board of Health's regulations must include a list of conditions for which newborn screening tests are conducted pursuant to § 32.1-65, follow-up and referral protocols and necessary provisions to implement the newborn screening services, and any services available to the infants and children through the Children with Special Health Care Needs Program. The mandate for the increased testing will become effective on March 1, 2006; however, the Board of Health is required to promulgate emergency regulations. This bill is identical to HB 1824.
