Edition: 2025 EditionEffective: 2026-01-01Last verified: 2026-09-07
The purpose of ORS 433.321, 433.323 and 433.327 and section 4, chapter 240, Oregon Laws 2003, is to waive the requirement of authorization to disclose information from, or provide information to, the record of a newborn child in the newborn hearing screening test registry and to waive confidentiality in regard to this information. The waiver allows providers, the Oregon Health Authority and local health departments and their agents, parents or guardians and diagnostic facilities to share information from the newborn hearing screening test registry without violating confidentiality. The newborn hearing screening test registry and the associated tracking and recall system are designed to increase early and appropriate intervention to minimize delays in developing language skills by the children of this state.
