SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title XXVI
of the Children’s Health Act of 2000,
‘‘Screening for Heritable Disorders,’’
enacted sections 1109, 1110, and 1111
of the PHS Act. This Act established
grant programs to improve the ability of
States to provide newborn and child
screening for heritable disorders
(section 1109) and for evaluating the
effectiveness of screening, counseling or
health care services in reducing the
morbidity and mortality caused by
heritable disorders in newborns and
children (section 1110).
On April 24, 2008, this Act was
reauthorized and programs and

1111 were expanded by the ‘‘Newborn
Screening Saves Lives Act of 2008’’

1114, 1115 and 1116. Section 1112
establishes a clearinghouse of newborn
screening; section 1113 establishes a
program for laboratory quality; section
1114 establishes an Interagency
Coordinating Committee on Newborn
and Child Screening (ICC); section 1115
establishes a national contingency plan
for newborn screening; and section 1116
establishes the Hunter Kelly newborn
screening research program.
The Secretary, HHS, was directed

Advisory Committee on Heritable
Disorders in Newborns and Children
(Committee). The Committee provides
to the Secretary advice about aspects of
newborn and childhood screening and
technical information for the

that will enhance the ability of the State
and local health agencies to provide for

counseling and health care services for

advice, or provides information to the
