Health: immunizations; grade requirement for certain immunization records; modify in the public health code and require department to adopt the immunization schedule recommended by the federal centers for disease control and prevention. Amends secs. 9208 & 9227 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9208 & 333.9227). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0877'24, SB 0876'24
This bill requires parents of children entering the seventh and twelfth grades to provide proof of immunization at school registration, aligning with existing rules for first-time school registrants. It mandates that schools verify a minimum of one dose for each disease specified by the health department before allowing attendance, with parents required to submit updated records within four months if doses are incomplete. The legislation also directs the state health department to adopt the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended immunization schedule by reference and to expand its immunization registry to include data on lead screening. Additionally, the bill requires the department to annually report on immunization rates for students entering seventh and twelfth grades. Finally, the bill includes a tie-breaker provision, meaning it will only take effect if two companion bills, SB 876 and SB 877, are also enacted into law.
