BILL NUMBER:A10989 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to exempting non-resident students at community colleges from the require- ment of maintaining measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and meningococcal meningitis records PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would exempt non-resident students at community colleges from certain immunization requirements. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section One of the bill would add a new subdivision 14 to Section 2165 of the Public Health Law to exempt non- resident students at community colleges from this section of law. Section Two of this bill would add a new subdivision 7 to Section 2167 of the Public Health Law to exempt non-resident students at community colleges from this section of law. Section Three of the bill would provide for an immediate effective date. JUSTIFICATION: During the first six months of 1989, 81% of reported cases of measles in New York State occurred in 12 outbreaks in post-sec- ondary institutions. These outbreaks resulted from inadequate immuniza- tion or vaccine failure in some students coupled with the close contact in living and study quarters inherent in the college setting. The outbreaks resulted in the enactment of Public Health Law (PHL) Section 2165 (effective August 1, 1990) that mandated measles, mumps and rubella immunizations for all full-time (taking 12 or more college credits)
