Prenatally Diagnosed Condition Awareness Act
Summary
H.R. 1353, the Prenatally Diagnosed Condition Awareness Act, aims to ensure that expectant parents who receive a positive prenatal diagnosis for Down syndrome or other conditions have access to comprehensive, up-to-date scientific information and support services. The bill would require health care providers to give patients detailed information on life expectancy, treatment options, and developmental expectations, while also providing referrals to support groups and adoption registries. Additionally, it would establish a national clearinghouse and telephone hotline to help families navigate available resources and connect with peer-support programs.
