Urges Congress to compel Department of Health and Human Services to fulfill its obligations pursuant to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.
Assembly Resolution 12 urges Congress to require the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to submit biennial reports on vaccine safety improvements, as mandated by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. The resolution states HHS has failed to submit these required reports since 1989, violating a federal law that demands transparency about actions taken to enhance vaccine safety. This resolution does not create new law but calls for Congress to enforce an existing federal obligation. Copies are sent to Congress, the HHS Secretary, and New Jersey's congressional delegation to prompt compliance.
