HB 1467 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 23-12-22 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the publication of vaccine adverse event data and information; and to provide for a legislative management report.

HB 1467 requires North Dakota's Department of Health to create a website linking to the federal vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS) and compile state-specific data on vaccine side effects and administration errors. Healthcare providers must report adverse events and errors (like wrong dosage or expired vaccines) using department-prescribed forms, while the public can also submit reports. The bill establishes a $100,000 fund to support this system and mandates annual legislative reports on its effectiveness. It directly affects healthcare facilities, providers, and the public by creating a standardized process for tracking and reporting vaccine-related incidents.
