Bill Summary
Genetic disorders; adding certain disorder to newborn screening requirements. Effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Oklahoma law to require the State Department of Health to provide an educational and newborn screening program for genetic or biochemical disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), in addition to the previously mandated conditions like phenylketonuria (PKU). The bill stipulates that the screening program should aim to enable early treatment and management opportunities to prevent intellectual disability and/or reduce infant morbidity and mortality. It also clarifies that there will be no cost associated with the screening unless there is a positive diagnosis. The bill will become effective on November 1, 2019.
