An Act to improve outcomes for individuals with Parkinson’s disease

This bill establishes a state registry to track cases of Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders among residents. It requires doctors and hospitals to report diagnoses and treatment data to the state department, while allowing patients to opt out of sharing their personal information. The collected data will be kept confidential, used only for research and public health reporting, and protected from being used as evidence in legal proceedings.
