Creates "The Vivian Act" requiring the Minnesota Commissioner of Health to make available up-to-date, evidence-based information about congenital CMV (cytomegalovirus) to health care practitioners and women who may become pregnant, expectant parents, and parents of infants.

Information must include testing recommendations for babies who fail newborn hearing screens or have pregnancy histories suggesting increased CMV risk, CMV incidence rates, transmission methods, birth defects caused by congenital CMV, preventative measures, and available family resources.

Requires the department to ensure all information is culturally and linguistically appropriate through existing community engagement practices.

Mandates the establishment of an outreach program to educate women who may become pregnant, expectant parents, and parents of infants about CMV and raise awareness among health care providers serving expectant mothers and infants.
