What it does
Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to establish a genetic disease unit to, among other responsibilities, promote a statewide program of information, testing, and counseling services related to genetic diseases, and administer that information, testing, and counseling to each child born in the state, unless the child's parent or guardian objects to a test on the grounds of religious beliefs or practices.
