Senator Alexander today praised the unanimous Senate passage of the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Reauthorization Act, which would continue federal programs and grants that assist states with improvements to their newborn screening programs. Alexander said: “The legislation passed by the Senate will improve life-saving screenings for nearly 80,000 infants born in Tennessee every year—as well as ensure that parents and doctors have the information they need to keep the newborns in their care as safe as possible. Senator Hatch and Senator Hagan have done great work with this bill, and I look forward to the House quickly taking up and passing this important legislation.” Read more HERE: help.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/?id=a34d55ed-acc4-43d3-90d7-e8fc700e3fc6&groups=Chair
