On June 19, 2009, Gov. Perry signed HB 1795 establishing Greyson's Law.
Greyson's Law, effective in Sept. '09, will add 24 disorders to Texas' newborn screening panel, ranking Texas in the top 7 nationally for UNS, screening for a total of 52 disorders. It will also establish an advisory committee to oversee it's future expansions. Nearly 150 babies per years will test positive for one of these additional disorders, with Greyson's Law now saving them from disability or possible death.
Below are a couple links to see HB 1795's progression. It's been a long, emotional road. Thanks to all who made this journey with us.
