A newborn child may be discharged from the licensed hospital or freestanding birthing center in which he or she was born without having undergone a required hearing screening or having been referred for a hearing screening if a parent or legal guardian of the newborn child objects in writing to the hearing screening. The hospital or freestanding birthing center shall place the written objection of the parent or legal guardian to the hearing screening in the medical file of the newborn child.
