The purpose of these regulations is to establish standards and procedures to assure congenital metabolic conditions and other genetic disorders which can cause significant mental or physical retardation or significant morbidity or mortality can be detected by screening newborn infants. Early detection and prompt referral for treatment may help prevent death and alleviate the effects of these disorders. These rules provide for screening tests to be performed on every newborn except where, in accordance with these rules, the parents or guardians waive this requirement in writing.
