AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure the fair and appropriate distribution of vaccines during a public health emergency. It amends the state's general laws to require that the Department of Public Health prioritize funeral home directors and funeral workers for access to vaccines, placing them in the same category as healthcare providers when supply is insufficient for universal administration. The bill seeks to address potential inequities in vaccine distribution by explicitly including this group alongside healthcare workers as a priority population.
