(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release on Friday from Senator Elder Vogel Jr.’s office, Vogel’s stroke registry legislation is set to become law. The Pennsylvania Department of Health would administer a stroke registry statewide through Senate Bill 411. The bill will also include a confidentiality clause that will ensure that any registry data that is submitted would not include two types of individual information. They are information that is personally identifiable and confidential information. Senate Bill 411 now will go to the desk of Governor Josh Shapiro to get signed. After the bill is enacted, it would go into effect for sixty days.
