18.30 	subdivision to read:
19.1 		Subd. 4.Public health exception. Notwithstanding subdivisions 1 to 3, the 
19.2 	commissioner of health may collect, store, use, and disseminate any genetic information, 
19.3 	which includes biological information or specimens, to the extent required or permitted by 
19.4 	any statute or rule that exists as of the effective date of this subdivision. This subdivision 
19.5 	does not apply to newborn screening activities conducted under sections 144.125 to 
19.6 	144.128.
19.7 	This subdivision expires July 1, 2013.

19.8 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment.

19.9 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 138.668, is amended to read:
19.10 	138.668 ADMISSION FEES.
19.11 	The Minnesota Historical Society may establish and collect reasonable fees for

19.15 		Subd. 3.Objection of parents to test Information provided to parents. Persons 
19.16 	with a duty to perform testing under subdivision 1 shall advise parents of infants (1) that 
19.17 	the blood or tissue samples used to perform testing thereunder as well as the results of 
19.18 	such testing may be retained by the Department of Health, (2) the benefit of retaining the 
19.19 	blood or tissue sample, and (3) that the following options are available to them with

19.21 	require that all blood samples and records of test results be destroyed within 24 months 
19.22 	of the testing. If the parents of an infant object in writing to testing for heritable and 
19.23 	congenital disorders or elect to require that blood samples and test results be destroyed, 
19.24 	the objection or election shall be recorded on a form that is signed by a parent or legal 
19.25 	guardian and made part of the infant's medical record. A written objection exempts an 
19.26 	infant from the requirements of this section and section 144.128. (a) The department shall 
19.27 	make information and forms available to health care providers who provide prenatal care 
19.28 	describing the newborn screening program and the provisions of this section to be used in 
19.29 	a discussion with expectant parents and parents of newborns. The department shall make 
19.30 	information and forms about newborn screening available to the persons with a duty 
19.31 	to perform testing under this section and to expectant parents and parents of newborns 
19.32 	using electronic and other means.
20.1 	(b) Prior to collecting a sample, persons with a duty to perform testing under

20.3 	(1) provide parents or legal guardians of infants with a document that provides 
20.4 	the following information:
20.5 	(i) the benefits of newborn screening;
20.6 	(ii) that the blood sample will be used to test for heritable and congenital disorders, 
20.7 	as determined under subdivision 2;
20.8 	(iii) the data that will be collected as part of the testing;
20.9 	(iv) the standard retention periods for blood samples and test results as provided in 
20.10 	subdivision 6;
20.11 	(v) that blood samples and test results will be used for program operations during the 
20.12 	standard retention period in accordance with subdivision 5;
20.13 	(vi) the Department of Health's Web site address where more information and forms 
20.14 	may be obtained; and

20.16 	a right to secure private testing;
20.17 	(2) upon request, provide parents or legal guardians of infants with forms necessary 
20.18 	to request that the infant not have blood collected for testing; and
20.19 	(3) record in the infant's medical record that a parent or legal guardian of the 
20.20 	infant has received the information provided pursuant to this subdivision and has had 
20.21 	an opportunity to ask questions.
20.22 	(c) Nothing in this section prohibits a parent or legal guardian of an infant from 
20.23 	having newborn screening performed by a private entity.

20.24 	Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 144.125, is amended by adding a subdivision

20.27 	subject to testing under this section may elect not to have newborn screening performed.
20.28 	(b) If a parent or legal guardian elects not to have newborn screening performed, 
20.29 	then the election shall be recorded on a form that is signed by the parent or legal guardian. 
20.30 	The signed form shall be made part of the infant's medical record and a copy shall be 
20.31 	provided to the Department of Health. When a parent or legal guardian elects not to 
20.32 	have newborn screening performed, the person with the duty to perform testing under 
20.33 	subdivision 1 must follow that election. A written election to decline testing exempts 
20.34 	persons with a duty to perform testing and the Department of Health from the requirements 
20.35 	of this section and section 144.128.

21.1 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 144.125, is amended by adding a subdivision

21.13 	law in the event of an emergency.
21.14 	(b) No research, public health studies, or development of new newborn screening 
21.15 	tests shall be conducted under this subdivision.

21.32 	guardian of an infant otherwise subject to testing under this section may authorize that 
21.33 	the infant's blood sample and test results be retained and used by the Department of 
22.1 	Health beyond the standard retention periods provided in subdivision 6 or the purposes 
22.2 	described in subdivision 9. 
22.3 	(b) The Department of Health must provide a consent form, with an attached
