Important Information on Immunization Law

New Legislation Affecting Child Care Programs:

SB 792.  This bill, which commences September 1, 2016, will prohibit a person from being employed or volunteering at a day care center or a family day care home if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. The bill specifies circumstances under which a person would be exempt from the immunization requirement, based on medical safety, current immunity, declining the influenza vaccination, or the date upon which he or she was hired, as specified. The bill requires a day care center or a family day care home to maintain documentation of the required immunizations or exemptions from immunization in the employee’s or volunteer’s personnel record. The bill makes conforming changes to provisions that set forth qualifications for day care center teachers and applicants for licensure as a family day care home. The bill provides that a violation of these provisions would not be subject to a crime. The bill requires any person hired as a teacher in a day care center or family child care home to present evidence of a current tuberculosis clearance, as specified.
