HB 2750 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to testing performed by the department of health and senior services laboratories

HB 2750 modifies Missouri's laws governing newborn screening and laboratory testing by the Department of Health and Senior Services. It requires all testing results and personal information to remain confidential, with release only permitted after parents or guardians provide informed consent about the scope, risks, and recipients of the information. The bill mandates that newborn screening results be destroyed one year after finalization (except when shared with a child's healthcare provider) and specifies biological specimens must be retained for one year before destruction, unless parents direct otherwise (e.g., to return, destroy, or store the specimen without allowing anonymous study). The law maintains the requirement for newborn screening for specific metabolic and genetic diseases, performed by the Department, with parental consent.
