Bill > A07560

This bill, known as "Elizabeth's Law", requires child care providers to be provided with informational materials on the impacts and dangers of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, as well as the treatments and methods of prevention. It also mandates that certain physicians, such as those practicing obstetrics and gynecology, and licensed midwives, distribute informational materials on CMV to their pregnant patients during their first appointment. The bill aims to raise awareness about the occurrence, transmission, birth defects, diagnosis, and preventive measures of CMV, which can have significant impacts on pregnant individuals, those who may become pregnant, and children.
