Recognizes that a significant number of this state's population have some form of chronic kidney disease, including persons with seriously reduced kidney function that may progress to end stage renal disease, requiring kidney dialysis or the receipt of a kidney by transplant.

Finds that the treatment of chronic kidney disease is a significant expense, and the early diagnosis and effective treatment of chronic kidney disease can prolong lives and delay the high cost of treatment, including dialysis or transplantation, or both; and that there are existing, cost-effective laboratory test calculations that can assist in the early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease.

Establishes a joint legislative task force on chronic kidney disease.
