(MISSOURINET) – Missouri is considering creating an online registry for those with Parkinson’s Disease. Representative Travis Smith is the bill’s sponsor, saying that diagnoses of the disease have increased, but no one knows what causes it…
Under the proposed legislation, a registry would be established in 2024 to collect data about Parkinson’s Disease in Missouri. Patients diagnosed must be notified in writing and orally about the collection of the information and patient data, but residents won’t be forced into participating with the registry. No one testified against the bill in a public hearing.
