Bill Summary
CONCERNING TESTING FOR SYPHILIS DURING THE PERINATAL PERIOD.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase syphilis testing during pregnancy in Colorado. It amends current state law to require licensed healthcare providers to test for syphilis and HIV during the first trimester, third trimester, and at delivery for all pregnant individuals. The bill also directs the State Board of Health to promulgate rules regarding the frequency of syphilis testing, and requires the Department of Public Health and Environment to review these rules every three years. Additionally, the bill allows the state to share de-identified syphilis case rate data with county and district public health agencies for statistical purposes. The goal is to address the significant increase in congenital syphilis cases in Colorado, which has disproportionately impacted Hispanic and Black communities.
