Health: screening; newborn hearing screening for congenital cytomegalovirus; require. Amends sec. 5431 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5431) & adds sec. 5433.

This bill requires health professionals to add congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) testing to the standard newborn screening panel for infants starting on March 1, 2026. The law mandates that positive test results be reported to both the infant's parents and the state health department, while also requiring the department to launch a public education campaign for pregnant women about cCMV risks and prevention. Additionally, the bill allows hospitals to offer parents an extra blood sample for future identification purposes and sets a fee structure for the state department to conduct these tests.
