The Illinois Legislature passed a bill that was signed into law in August 2015 by Governor Rauner regarding congenital CMV. The main objectives of this law are public education regarding CMV infection and efforts to raise awareness of this infection amongst healthcare providers caring for expectant mothers. This Public Act mandates parents receive information regarding testing opportunities and early intervention services for CMV infection when their newborn infant fails his or her hearing screen. Although this bill does not mandate CMV screening, it does state that the hospitals have to provide information about testing options.
