The bill adds a requirement for testing newborns for Krabbe disease and establishes a biennial evaluation for additional lysosomal storage disorders.

  • 253.13 (1)

    the attending physician or nurse-midwife shall cause every infant born in each hospital or maternity home, prior to its discharge therefrom, to be subjected to tests for congenital and metabolic disorders → the attending physician or nurse licensed under s. 441.15 shall cause every infant born in each hospital or maternity home, prior to the infant's discharge therefrom, to be subjected to tests for congenital and metabolic disorders

    Changes the wording to specify that the nurse must be licensed under a specific section.

  • 253.13 (1)

    If the infant is born elsewhere than in a hospital or maternity home, the attending physician, nurse-midwife, or birth attendant who attended the birth shall cause the infant, within one week of birth, to be subjected to these tests. → If the infant is born elsewhere than in a hospital or maternity home, the attending physician, nurse licensed under s. 441.15, or birth attendant who attended the birth shall cause the infant, within one week of birth, to be subjected to these tests.

    Replaces 'nurse-midwife' with 'nurse licensed under s. 441.15' for clarity.

  • the attending physician or nurse licensed under s. 441.15 shall cause every infant born in each hospital or maternity home, prior to the infant's discharge or within one week of the birth if the infant has not yet been discharged, to be subjected to testing for globoid cell leukodystrophy, also known as Krabbe disease.

    Requires testing for Krabbe disease before discharge or within a week after birth.

  • the attending physician, nurse licensed under s. 441.15, or birth attendant who attended the birth shall cause the infant, within one week of birth, to be subjected to the testing under par. (a).

    Applies the same testing requirement for Krabbe disease to infants born outside a hospital or maternity home.

  • the department shall evaluate the appropriateness of mandatory newborn testing for lysosomal storage disorders in addition to the testing required under par. (a). If the department determines that testing for one or more lysosomal storage disorders in addition to the testing required under par. (a) is appropriate, the department, under the authority granted under sub. (1), may promulgate rules adding to the list of disorders for which newborn testing is required.

    Mandates a biennial evaluation by the department regarding newborn testing for additional lysosomal storage disorders.
