(1) The Alabama Sickle Cell Oversight and Regulatory Commission was established by the Alabama State Legislature in the spring of 1996 to oversee the investment that the State makes in sickle cell services, education, screening, counseling, and research in Alabama. The composition of the Commission as defined by Act 96-727 includes: one representative from each of the seven Alabama Chapters of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America; one representative from each of the two Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers in the State; one representative of the Children's Hospital of Alabama; and two appointees of the Governor.
(2) One major goal of the Commission is to establish a set of criteria for entities receiving state support through the Education Trust Fund or through other related state mechanisms. Two entities worthy of funding serve an educational mission in our society, to all regions of the State and for all individuals with sickle cell conditions. These entities are:
1) the Alabama Chapters of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America and
2) the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers in the State of Alabama. For the purposes of this document, the terms "sickle cell conditions" and "sickle hemoglobinopathy" are defined. The term "sickle cell condition" here refers to all individuals with sickle hemoglobinopathies and those with sickle cell trait. The term "sickle hemoglobinopathy" refers to all medically significant hemoglobinopathies, i.e., sickle hemoglobin in person with clinical or laboratory abnormalities.
