An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Genetic Counselors.

Delaware Senate Bill 70 updates the regulations concerning genetic counselors in the state. This includes changes to their licensing requirements and professional standards to ensure better care and support for patients seeking genetic counseling services.

Supporters of SB70 would highlight that this bill enhances the quality of genetic counseling in Delaware, ensuring that counselors are well-trained and qualified. They would argue that it helps protect patients by setting higher professional standards and improving access to vital genetic information.

Critics of SB70 may argue that the new regulations could create unnecessary barriers for aspiring genetic counselors, potentially limiting the availability of these services. They might express concern that increased licensing requirements could lead to higher costs for patients seeking genetic counseling.
