Bill > HB1097

This bill amends the existing Indiana law defining "chronic disease" by adding Parkinson's disease to the list of conditions included in the state's chronic disease registry. Currently, the registry includes conditions such as asthma, diabetes, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and kidney disease. The bill expands this list to specifically include Parkinson's disease as a sixth condition, and renumbers the subsequent provision allowing the state department to add other conditions by rule. The change will take effect on July 1, 2026, and is part of the state's efforts to track and manage chronic health conditions through a centralized registry, which can help in research, treatment, and public health planning for these long-term medical conditions.
