BILL NUMBER:S2750 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring hospitals to offer hepatitis C testing PURPOSE: This bill will require individuals born between 1945 and 1965 to be offered hepatitis C testing when receiving health services from hospital inpatient care, an emergency room, or outpatient setting, a clinic or from a primary care provider. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends the public health law by adding a new section 2171 as it relates to requiring certain health service providers to offer hepatitis C testing to individuals born between 1945 and 1965 unless the individual is being treated for a life threatening emergency or has previously been offered or tested or they lack the ability to consent. Section 2 of the bill relates to the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has recently released a report detailing birth cohort testing guidelines that identi- fied baby boomers or those born between 1945 and 1965 as at risk for hepatitis C. There is an estimated 3.2 million American infected with hepatitis C and 75% of them are people born between 1945 and 1965.
