Health: screening; Krabbe disease; include in list of disorders and diseases screened for at birth. Amends sec. 5431 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5431).
HB 4730 adds Krabbe disease to the list of conditions screened for in newborns in Michigan. The bill amends state law to require healthcare providers to test all newborns for Krabbe disease, a rare but treatable neurological disorder, alongside existing conditions like phenylketonuria and sickle cell anemia. This affects all newborns in Michigan and their healthcare providers, who must administer the test at birth without requiring parental consent under current rules. The change aligns Krabbe disease with other treatable conditions already included in the state's mandatory newborn screening program.
