Establishes a State Parkinson's disease registry to collect data on incidence and prevalence.

The bill mandates the Department of Health to establish a Statewide Parkinson's disease registry. This registry will collect data on the incidence of Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonisms within the State. Health care providers diagnosing or treating individuals with Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonisms must report each unique case to the registry. Patients have the option to opt-out of the registry, in which case only the incidence of a Parkinson’s diagnosis will be reported. The Department will maintain an accurate record of all persons provided registry information.
