Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act - UPDATE!!

This afternoon, the House Energy & Commerce committee passed H.R. 1281, the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of 2014.  It has strong bi-partisan support and is now one step closer to being signed into law!  Next steps are a vote by the full House of Representative and a vote by the full Senate before it ends up on the President's desk for signature. 

Read more details about the bill in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

And kudos to APHL, the March of Dimes and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, among countless others who have been advocating tirelessly to reauthorize the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act.  The work you are doing will help newborn screening continue to save lives.  THANK YOU!
