Provides that at the beginning of each academic year, the university shall inform each of its students and the student's parents or guardian about meningitis and its transmission. Requires the University to recommend meningitis vaccination and, for those students deciding not to be vaccinated, to obtain a signed waiver indicating the student's receipt of the information provided and the student's rejection of the recommended vaccination. Requires any university facility that delivers health services to university students to offer meningitis vaccines. Effective July 1, 2001. FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Education) If HB 274 were enacted, public universities would incur costs in two areas. First, each institution would incur administra- tive costs related to the notification requirements and the signed waiver receipts. It is not possible to quantify these costs, but they would likely be significant. Secondly, public universities would incur costs related to offering the vacci- nation. The legislation does not indicate whether institutions may charge sutdents for the vaccination. If there were no stu- dent co-payment, the cost of offering the vaccinations would range between $1.1 million and $1.5 million. The estimate assumes that individual meningitis vaccinations cost $60 to $75 each, and that the number of students taking the vaccination would be equal to 10% of the number of students enrolled in public universities in Fall 2000. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Removes the provisions requiring a university to obtain a signed waiver from those students deciding not to be vaccinated. Provides that the requirement that a university offer meningitis vaccines is subject to the availability of the vaccine from the manufacturer. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Removes the provisions requiring a university to obtain a signed waiver from those students deciding not to be vaccinated. Provides that the requirement that a university offer meningitis vaccines is subject to the availability of the vaccine from the manufacturer.
