This bill would make alpha-gal syndrome a reportable condition in Kentucky, meaning labs would be required to notify the state Department for Public Health within 5 days of a confirmed positive test. The department would then track cases each year and share that data with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Who it may affect: medical laboratories, healthcare providers, and Kentuckians diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome.
