The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6573, aims to amend current statutes to mandate newborn screening for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This legislative initiative is introduced by Representative Parker and is intended to facilitate early diagnosis and intervention for infants diagnosed with this condition.

The bill does not specify any deletions from existing law but focuses on the insertion of the requirement for newborn screening for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. By implementing this screening, the bill seeks to improve health outcomes for affected children through timely medical support and treatment.
