The bill would require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to maintain a youth diabetes registry and to publish an annual report based on registry information.
The bill would provide for penalties, including fees, for health care facilities, clinical laboratories, and physicians for failure to furnish information for the registry. The bill would also authorize the Attorney General to institute actions for injuctive relief and civil penalties to restrain unauthorized releases of information. The Office of the Attorney General indicates any additional responsibilities related to the bill could be absorbed within its existing resources. It is assumed the penalties would not have a significant fiscal impact.
The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to adopt rules to implement provisions of the bill. It is assumed rules could be adopted using the existing resources of HHSC.
