2. Section
DHS 115.04 lists the disorders for which newborns must be tested under s.
253.13 (1), Stats.
3. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) is described as those congenital cardiac malformations in which surgical or catheter-based therapy is necessary within the first months of life. There are 12 lesions commonly considered as CCHD. In some circumstances, infants with CCHD may be asymptomatic and have a normal physical examination prior to routine hospital discharge or completion of home birth care. Unrecognized CCHD can result in death or disability shortly after hospital discharge.
4. Death due to unrecognized CCHD from 2002 to 2006 occurred in 1:38,397 Wisconsin births and death or re-hospitalization occurred in 1:24,684 Wisconsin births before two weeks of age. The median age at death due to unrecognized CCHD was 4.5 days.
5. Pulse oximetry, a point of care testing, is the recognized screening method for CCHD.
6. Prior to
2013 Wisconsin Act 135, adding pulse oximetry screening for CCHD to the mandatory panel was not permitted because testing for congenital and metabolic disorders under s.
235.13 (1), Stats. (2011-12), was explicitly limited to blood testing. Section
253.13 (1), Stats., as amended by
2013 Wisconsin Act 135, now allows testing for congenital and metabolic disorders using other screening methods including blood testing.
7. The Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene (WSLH) tests newborns for organic acidemias (OA), a group of inherited disorders that lead to an abnormal buildup of particular acids, known as organic acids, in the body.
8. Abnormal levels of organic acids in the blood (organic acidemia), urine (organic aciduria), and tissues can be toxic and can cause serious health problems. A baby affected with an OA is usually well at birth and for the first few days of life. The usual clinical presentation is that of toxic encephalopathy and includes vomiting, poor feeding, neurologic symptoms such as seizures and abnormal tone, and lethargy progressing to coma. Outcome is improved by diagnosis and treatment in the first ten days of life.
9. Propionic acidemia and methylmalonic acidemia are two types of organic acidemias. In propionic academia and methylmalonic acidemia, the body is unable to process certain parts of proteins and lipids (fats) properly. In most cases, the features of propionic acidemia become apparent within a few days after birth. Propionic acidemia affects about 1 in 100,000 people in the United States. The effects of methylmalonic acidemia, which usually appear in early infancy, vary from mild to life-threatening. Without treatment, this disorder can lead to coma and death in some cases. This condition occurs in an estimated 1 in 50,000 to 100,000 people.
10. Though OA was determined to have met the criteria under s.
DHS 115.06 for being added to the list of congenital and metabolic disorders for which WSLH must test the blood samples of newborns, the conditions were inadvertently omitted from the list of conditions in s.
DHS 115.04 during subsequent revisions.
11. The process for promulgating permanent rules may take 24 months to complete, or longer if the department is unable to submit the permanent rules to the legislature prior to its last general business floor period in 2016.

The emergency rule procedure, pursuant to s.

The federal government and state legislature have delegated to the appropriate agencies rule-making authority to control the hunting of migratory birds. The State of Wisconsin must comply with federal regulations in the establishment of migratory bird hunting seasons and conditions. Federal regulations are not made available to this state until late July of each year. This order is designed to bring the state hunting regulations into conformity with the federal regulations. Normal rule-making procedures will not allow the establishment of these changes by September 1. Failure to modify our rules will result in the failure to provide hunting opportunity and continuation of rules which conflict with federal regulations.
