The procedure described in subsection (1) of this section does not apply to any newborn infant whose parents object to the procedure on grounds that the procedure conflicts with the religious tenets and practices of the parents.

A newborn infant may not be refused the procedure described in subsection (1) of this section because of the parent’s inability to pay for the procedure.
