IN RE:
HB3184 by Coleman (Relating to the education of parents of young children about the benefits of vaccination against influenza.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill requires the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to publish information on its website to educate parents of children in day-care facilities about the benefits of annual vaccination against influenza for children six to 59 months of age. DSHS is directed to work with the Department of Human Services and day-care facilities to ensure information is distributed to parents in August and September of each year. It is assumed that DSHS will instead work with the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), the agency responsible for licensing and regulation of child care facilities. Both DSHS and DFPS indicate any costs associated with publishing and distributing information can be absorbed within available resources.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
