π Details π View Bill on Legislature Website
SB1427 expands state-directed medical screening of children without strengthening informed consent or addressing the underlying causes of the rise in Type 1 diabetes.
The bill mandates population-wide screening while failing to include an explicit parental opt-out, clear consent requirements, or meaningful limits on data collection, retention, and use. This undermines parental authority in medical decision-making and shifts public health toward surveillance rather than care.
SB1427 treats symptoms through mandates instead of addressing causes through reform, eroding parental rights without solving the problem it claims to address.
