What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Health Services establishes a program that

provides all children in this state with the vaccines specified under the statewide

immunization program. Specifically, the bill requires DHS to purchase the vaccines

and distribute the vaccines to health care providers who participate in the program,

and those health care providers administer the vaccines to children. Insurers that

provide coverage to a child who receives a vaccine under the program must reimburse

DHS for the cost of obtaining the vaccine.
