Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring hospitals distribute literature created by the commissioner to patients at a high risk of sickle cell disease
AI Summary
This bill requires hospitals to distribute an informational packet about sickle cell disease, including screening, prevention, and treatment information, to patients who are suspected to be at high risk of inheriting the disease, or to their authorized decision-makers if the patient lacks the capacity to make their own healthcare decisions. The commissioner is tasked with designing the informational packet, and the bill specifies that this new requirement will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
