| IN RE: | SB28 by Zaffirini (Relating to the collection and maintenance of bacterial meningitis immunization records by public institutions of higher education.), As Introduced |
The institutions of higher education would incur costs related to the staff necessary to collect immunization records and to the data system to maintain the records.
Responses by four system offices to quantify potential costs, indicated that the total costs for their institutions would be approximately $855,000 in 2004 and continuing costs of approximately $450,000 each year thereafter. They indicated an additional 18 full-time equivalent employees would be needed to implement the requirements.
