What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Health Services (DHS) must conduct various activities related to researching, monitoring, and providing education about the spread and incidence of Lyme disease in humans, including developing and distributing information about Lyme disease through the offices of physicians and local health departments. This bill requires the Department of Health Services (DHS) to create and make available on the Internet a form with a notice for patients who receive certain specified laboratory tests for the presence of Lyme disease. The form must contain a notice informing the patient: 1) about the prevalence of Lyme disease in the United States; 2) about the potential for a false negative or false positive test result for the presence of Lyme disease; and 3) that a patient whose test is negative should contact his or her health care provider about being retested for Lyme disease if the patient continues to experience symptoms. The bill requires a health care provider who orders a specified test for the presence of Lyme disease for a patient to provide the patient with a copy of the form and requires DHS to update the form annually to account for the most recent statistics and for additional tests that are developed to detect the presence of Lyme disease and that warrant the notice.
