The bill also directs the department specifically, not later than January 1, 2020, to expand the newborn metabolic screening panel to include Mucopolysaccharidosis type 1, Glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe), X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy, and any other lysosomal storage disorder listed on the RUSP as of July 1, 2019.
