Pregnancy: prenatal blood testing.

Summary

Existing law requires a licensed physician and surgeon, or other person engaged in the prenatal care of a pregnant woman, to obtain a blood specimen from the woman for purposes of determining the presence of hepatitis B or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) . Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to develop culturally sensitive informational material in English, Spanish, and other languages to inform a pregnant woman about the purpose of obtaining this blood sample. This bill would change the language requirements for the informational material described above to require that it is provided in languages that meet a specified numeric threshold.
