Missouri HB1855 establishes disease surveillance protocols for noncommunicable diseases, including alpha-gal syndrome and Lyme disease.
Missouri HB1855 amends Chapter 192 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 192.037, which mandates the Department of Health and Senior Services to identify noncommunicable diseases of public health concern. The department must enforce regulations to prevent the spread of these diseases and determine their prevalence. The bill requires the department to follow up on reported cases of alpha-gal syndrome using a random sampling method to confirm they meet the CDC's surveillance case definition.
