211.655 Legislative findings and statement of intent. The General Assembly hereby finds and declares that congenital anomalies, stillbirths, <br>and high risk conditions represent problems of significant health importance about which <br>too little is known; that conditions of this nature lead to severe mental anguish on the part <br>of parents and frequently to high medical care costs; and that a system to obtain more <br>information about these conditions could result in development and implementation of <br>preventive measures to decrease their incidence and prevalence in the future. Therefore, it <br>is the intent of the General Assembly to: <br>(1) Provide information on the incidence, prevalence, and trends of birth defects, stillbirths, and high risk conditions; (2) Provide information as to the possible causes of congenital anomalies, stillbirths, and high risk conditions; and (3) Develop prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of congenital anomalies, stillbirths, and high risk conditions and to reduce secondary complications <br>associated with high risk conditions. Effective: July 15, 1994 <br>History: Amended 1994 Ky. Acts ch. 405, sec. 76, effective July 15, 1994. </p> <BR></DIV><!-- /.col.one --><!-- /.col.two --></DIV><!-- /.col.main --></DIV><!-- /div id = content --> <BR class=clear></DIV> <!-- /div id = livearea --> <DIV></DIV><!-- /.col.one --> <DIV></DIV><!-- /.col.main --> <DIV></DIV><!-- /#content --><BR class=clear> <DIV></DIV><!-- /#livearea --> <!-- Footer--> <DIV id=footer> <DIV class=container> <P class=copyright>Copyright &copy; 2012-2022 Laws9.Com All rights reserved. </P><!-- /.copyright --> <P class=footerlinks><A href="/contactus.html">Contact Us</A> | <A href="/aboutus.html">About Us</A> | <A href="/terms.html">Terms</A> | <A href="/privacy.html">Privacy</A></P><!-- /.footerlinks --> </DIV><!-- /.container --> </DIV><!-- /footer --> </BODY></HTML>
