What’s in it

This bill directs the department of public health to adopt rules to include in the newborn metabolic screening, at a minimum, all core conditions listed on the recommended uniform screening panel (RUSP) recommended by the secretary of the United States department of health and human services advisory committee on heritable disorders in newborns and children (SACHDNC). 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.

Read the full explanation

The RUSP currently includes 34 core conditions and 26 secondary conditions for which the SACHDNC recommends every newborn should be screened. Iowa currently screens for 31 of the 34 core conditions listed on the RUSP.
