‘‘Screening for Heritable Disorders,’’ 

enacted sections 1109, 1110, and 1111 

of the PHS Act. This Act established 

grant programs to improve the ability of 

States to provide newborn and child 

screening for heritable disorders 

(section 1109) and for evaluating the 

effectiveness of screening, counseling or 

health care services in reducing the 

morbidity and mortality caused by 

heritable disorders in newborns and 

children (section 1110). 

On April 24, 2008, this Act was 

reauthorized and programs and

1111 were expanded by the ‘‘Newborn 

Screening Saves Lives Act of 2008’’

screening; section 1113 establishes a 

program for laboratory quality; section 

1114 establishes an Interagency 

Coordinating Committee on Newborn 

and Child Screening (ICC); section 1115 

establishes a national contingency plan 

for newborn screening; and section 1116 

establishes the Hunter Kelly newborn 

screening research program.

under section 1111 to establish an 

Advisory Committee on Heritable 

Disorders in Newborns and Children 

(Committee). The Committee provides

and local health agencies to provide for 

newborn and child screening, 

counseling and health care services for 

newborns and children having or at risk 

for heritable disorders. The Committee
