SB 80 - This act modifies the Metabolic Formula Distribution Program. Under current law, formula for the treatment of inherited diseases of amino acids and organic acids are provided to persons meeting certain criteria and an income-based means test determined by the Department of Health and Senior Services. This act modifies those provisions to provide that in addition to the current program for applicants above the age of nineteen, the formula shall be available to an applicant between the ages of six to eighteen whose family income is below three hundred percent of the federal poverty level. This act is similar to SCS/SB 1251 (2006) and SCS/HB 1477 (2006). ADRIANE CROUSE
