AI Summary
This bill requires the screening of newborns for Krabbe Leukodystrophy and other lysomal storage disorders, in addition to the existing requirement for screening of newborns for phenylketonuria. Lysomal storage disorders are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies that can lead to the buildup of certain substances in the body's cells. By mandating the screening of newborns for these conditions, the bill aims to facilitate early detection and intervention to potentially improve health outcomes for affected infants.
