John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1920 by Capelo (Relating to certain immunization programs.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would require the Department of Health (TDH) to develop continuing education programs for providers related to immunizations and the vaccines for children program. The bill would require the Health and Human Services Commission to ensure a provider can enroll in the vaccines for children program on the same form the provider completes to apply as a Medicaid provider. The bill would allow providers to report vaccines administered under the vaccines for children program to the immunization registry and to use the registry as provided by law. TDH indicates no significant impact.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
