(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) The cause and the cure of Reyes Syndrome are unknown, and the number of incidences of this disease is also unknown.
(2) Where the scope of a medical problem is unknown, the amount of research funds is usually small. Therefore, it is necessary to define the extent of this medical problem.
(b) A physician and surgeon attending a patient diagnosed as having Reyes Syndrome shall report that condition, within seven days of the diagnosis, to the department on report forms prescribed by the department.
(Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 1996.)
