Text
If a health care practitioner has reason to believe based on a medical assessment of a mother or a newborn infant that the mother used a controlled substance for a nonmedical purpose during the pregnancy, the health care practitioner may administer, with or without the consent of the newborn infant's parent or guardian, a toxicology test to the newborn infant under the health care practitioner's care to determine whether there is evidence of prenatal exposure to a controlled substance. If the test results are positive, the health care practitioner shall report the results pursuant to § 26-8A-8 .
