Bill overview
This bill aims to improve California’s ability to monitor birth defects and related conditions. It expands the state’s program to include a broader range of conditions, allowing local health officers to collect and report information within their jurisdictions. The bill also addresses confidentiality concerns, particularly regarding criminal proceedings, and includes provisions for storing and utilizing umbilical cord and pregnancy blood samples for research and monitoring purposes. A 2/3 vote of the legislature is required to expand the scope of confidentiality protections.
