Bill > HB1467

This bill amends North Dakota law regarding the reporting and publication of vaccine adverse event data. Currently, the state's Department of Health and Human Services is required to display a link to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) on their website, with instructions for reporting adverse events. The bill modifies the existing requirements by removing the word "prominently" from the original language and adding two key provisions: first, the department must prominently display the VAERS link along with reporting instructions, and second, the department must provide a biennial (every two years) report to the legislative management by July 1st of each even-numbered year. This report must include state-specific vaccine adverse event data and a summary of national reported data. The bill seeks to enhance transparency and provide regular updates on vaccine-related adverse events to state legislators, ensuring more comprehensive tracking and reporting of such information.
