The South Dakota Legislature approved SB 168, a bill that would ensure that all newborns are screened for critical congenital heart defects. The bill now goes to the governor's desk for signature. Advocates in South Dakota have played a significant role in getting this bill passed. Personal stories from advocates and bill sponsors helped to communicate why this screening is important, and how it can save lives.
