Allows the provision of data relative to sickle cell disease
Proposed law requires the Louisiana Department of Health to facilitate an agreement between sickle cell clinics and an
association that provides information and assistance to patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease. The agreement shall allow
for the transfer of sufficient contact information from the sickle cell clinics to allow an association to contact the patient.
Proposed law provides each local public school board shall adopt a policy to require that each school nurse participates in an
in-service training program of at least 1 hour relative to sickle cell disease. The school boards shall use instructional
materials made available on the Louisiana State Board of Nursing’s website. The training may be incorporated into an
existing in-service training program.

EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
LDH reports needing additional personnel resources to facilitate a data sharing agreement between providers and an
association. LDH anticipates approximately $39,000 for one (1) administrative specialist position to administer the
agreements. The LFO has requested additional information from LDH to corroborate the need for this position.
There is no anticipated direct material effect on expenditures of the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) as a result of
this measure. Training materials will be provided by the Sickle Cell Commission at no cost to the LDOE. Local school boards
should not experience any impacts on expenditures, as the required training can be incorporated into scheduled in-services
typically held for school nurses prior to the start of the school year.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
