A. In order to prevent intellectual disability and permanent disability or death, every infant who is born in the Commonwealth shall be subjected to screening tests for various disorders consistent with, but not necessarily identical to, the uniform condition panel recommended by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children; however, such screening shall include screening for Pompe disease, mucopolysaccharidosis type 1 (MPS-1), and other lysosomal storage disorders for which a screening test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration exists.

B. In addition to the screening tests required pursuant to subsection A, every infant born in a hospital in the Commonwealth that has a newborn nursery shall be screened for critical congenital heart defect, using pulse oximetry or other Board-approved screening test that is based on standards set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Such screening shall be performed when the infant is at least 24 hours old but no more than 48 hours old or, in cases in which the infant is discharged from the hospital prior to reaching 24 hours of age, prior to discharging the infant.
C. Any infant whose parent or guardian objects thereto to the performance of testing required pursuant to this section on the grounds that such tests conflict with his religious practices or tenets shall not be required to receive such screening tests.
