Sweet Victory in Congress! S 1810 Bill Ready to Become Law.

Congress Passes the Kennedy–Brownback Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed 
Conditions Awareness Act

Dale City, VA (September 26, 2008). After three years of advocacy, the U.S. 
Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives passed S. 1810, the Prenatally and 
Postnatally Diagnosis Conditions Awareness Act, during this last week before 
Congress adjourns.

The Trisomy 18 Foundation applauds the final passage of the Pre-natally and 
Post-natally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act (S. 1810). The Act, now heading 
to the President’s desk for signature into law, ensures that families who 
receive prenatal diagnoses of Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, Down Syndrome or other 
genetic conditions will have access to up-to-date information about the nature 
of the condition and connection with support services and networks that could 
offer assistance.
