Create annual reporting on which recommended newborn screening conditions each state has and has not implemented.

The Surge to Save Newborns Act would: Help states move recommended newborn screening conditions from federal recommendation to implementation. Provide dedicated resources to address state implementation needs while preserving state responsibility for operating newborn screening programs. Create annual visibility into which recommended conditions each state has and has not yet implemented. Pair federal funding with accountability by requiring HHS to assess grant effectiveness and report back to Congress.

The bill would require annual visibility into state implementation of recommended newborn screening conditions.
