with a duty to perform testing under subdivision 1 shall advise parents of infants (1) that
the blood or tissue samples used to perform testing thereunder as well as the results of
such testing may be retained by the Department of Health, (2) the benefit of retaining the
blood or tissue sample, and (3) that the following options are available to them with
respect to the testing: (i) to decline to have the tests, or (ii) to elect to have the tests but to
require that all blood samples and records of test results be destroyed within 24 months
of the testing. If the parents of an infant object in writing to testing for heritable and
congenital disorders or elect to require that blood samples and test results be destroyed,
the objection or election shall be recorded on a form that is signed by a parent or legal
guardian and made part of the infant's medical record. A written objection exempts an
