NEWBORN EYE PATHOLOGY ACT

Summary
Creates the Newborn Eye Pathology Act. Establishes the Newborn Eye Pathology Screening Task Force to advise the Department of Public Health on newborn eye pathology screening protocol. Provides that the Department, in consultation with representatives of the Newborn Eye Pathology Task Force, shall adopt the protocol developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics to optimally detect the presence of treatable causes of blindness in infants by 2 months of age. Provides that the Act shall not be construed to supersede the clinical judgment of the licensed health care provider or a parent or guardian of a newborn who objects to the examination on the grounds that the examination conflicts with his or her religious beliefs or practices.
