Bill > HB3848

This bill amends the Newborn Metabolic Screening Act to require the Department of Public Health to provide screening tests for rare blood disorders for all newborns, subject to available funding. The legislation mandates that the Department will determine which specific rare blood disorders will be included in the screening and will adopt rules to implement these new screening requirements. While the government summary provides a clear overview, the actual bill text appears to be incomplete or truncated, showing only the basic structure of the proposed amendment without detailing the specific language changes. The bill aims to expand newborn screening capabilities to identify rare blood disorders early, which can potentially help in early intervention and treatment planning for affected infants.
