Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007
President George W. Bush signed the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007 (Pub.L.110-204) (NBSSLA) into law on April 24, 2008, a day before DNA Day. The Act amended the Public Health Service Act to establish grant programs concerning newborn screening education and outreach, as parents are often unaware that newborn screening takes place and the number and types of screening varies across states.〔(Senate Report )〕 It also established grant programs to coordinate follow-up care, after newborn screening is conducted. The legislation also reauthorized programs under part A of title XI of the Public Health Service Act. In his introductory remarks, Senator Chris Dodd stated that the legislation “protect() the most vulnerable members of our society: newborn infants.”〔(Senator Dodd’s Introductory Remarks )〕 Newborn Screening is a proven life saving and effective public health tool used to identify thousands of babies in the U.S. born with genetic, metabolic, and congenital conditions. At the time of the legislation’s passage, only 15 States along with the District of Columbia required newborns to be screened for 29 core conditions as recommended by the Health Resources and Services Administration/American College of Medical Genetics’ 2004 Report.〔
== Legislative History ==
This bill, S. 1858, was a bipartisan bill sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd, Sen. Orrin Hatch, and Sen. Hillary Clinton. It passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent on December 13, 2007. The bill passed the House of Representatives of the United States by Voice Vote on April 8, 2008. President George W. Bush signed the bill into law 16 days later.
This legislation was first introduced as the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2002 in the second section of the 107th United States Congress. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Representative Lucille Roybal-Allard sponsored the bill in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, respectively. Like most new legislation, S. 2890 and H.R. 4493 garnered minimal support and received no further action after being referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and the House Subcommittee on Health.
The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act was again introduced in subsequent sessions of Congress. The bills were introduced as S. 1068 and H.R. 4493 in the 108th United States Congress, S. 2663 and H.R. 5397 in the 109th United States Congress, and S. 1634 and H.R. 1634 in the first session of the 110th United States Congress. During the 110th United States Congress, the Newborn Screening Saves Act was reintroduced as S. 1858 after S. 1634 was combined with the competing legislation, the Screening for Health of Infants and Newborn Act (1712 ) sponsored by Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY). With this merge, Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) led the way on this bill, which became the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act that was ultimately passed and signed into law. The companion bill was H.R. 3825.〔(H.R. 3825 )〕
