AI Summary
This bill establishes a central registry for sickle cell trait diagnoses in New Jersey. It requires laboratories performing newborn screenings to notify physicians and document the patient's information in the registry.

The Commissioner of Health will manage the registry, use the information to provide follow-up counseling and educational services, and notify parents when the patient reaches adolescence and adulthood. The bill aims to improve access to information and resources related to sickle cell trait, which can have important health and reproductive implications.
