AI Summary
This bill mandates that medical examiner reports for infant deaths between the ages of zero and three years must now include a request for information about the child's last immunization, specifically the date it was given and the type of vaccine administered. If the child received multiple vaccinations during that last appointment, all of them must be documented. To ensure this new requirement is properly implemented, the state medical examiner is directed to create and adopt administrative rules, following the procedures outlined in chapter 17A of Iowa law, which governs rulemaking in the state.
