relative to newborn screening for cytomegalovirus.

This bill requires New Hampshire to add cytomegalovirus (CMV) screening to the results reported for infants who fail their newborn hearing tests. The law allows parents to choose not to have their baby undergo this specific screening. Additionally, the state must report progress on this new targeted screening program to a health oversight committee by March 1, 2025. These changes are designed to help identify CMV infections early in life, and the rules will officially begin on January 1, 2025.
