SALT LAKE CITY — Legislation to create a Parkinson’s disease registry is one step closer to reality.
Members of the House voted unanimously Thursday to approve HCR8, sponsored by Rep. Stewart Barlow, R-Fruit Heights, to create a registry to study the prevalence of Parkinson’s.
The registry is being funded from private sources, Barlow said, adding he ran the bill as a resolution so the state would not be taking on the financial burden of the registry.
The measure now advances to the Senate for further consideration.
