Bill Summary
Establishes central registry for sickle cell trait diagnoses; provides for informational outreach and genetic counseling.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a central registry for sickle cell trait diagnoses in New Jersey. It requires laboratories performing newborn screenings to notify the patient's physician and document the diagnosis in the registry. The physician must then provide the patient's parents with information about the availability and benefits of genetic counseling. The bill also requires the Commissioner of Health to establish a system to notify patients and their parents about follow-up consultations and educational services related to sickle cell trait. The information in the registry will be kept confidential, except as provided by law, and disclosing information in violation of this provision is a disorderly persons offense.
