A BILL for an Act to create and enact a new section to chapter 23-02.1 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to death and vaccination records.
HB 1519 requires North Dakota's Department of Health to compile and maintain individual death and vaccination records from the state's immunization and death registration systems. It mandates tracking specific details like vaccine type, date of vaccination, sex, race, and death dates within 720 days post-vaccination. The department must publish quarterly public reports on its website showing death rates for each vaccine type administered to over 20,000 people in the previous quarter, broken down by demographic groups and time intervals after vaccination. This bill directly affects the state health department's data management and public reporting processes.

MINOR
The bill renumbered from 25.1294.01000 to 25.1294.02000 and updated the vaccination reporting requirements.
