SB 2072 Rhode Island Senate · 2024 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH AND SAFETY -- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

This bill directs the Department of Health to use up to $850,000 from specific immunization funds in fiscal year 2025 to support information lines and referral services for childhood and adult immunizations. The legislation requires the department to submit a report by March 1, 2025, detailing how these funds were used and offering recommendations for future support. While the bill also establishes separate accounts for pandemic medications and adult immunizations, its primary immediate action is the allocation of existing resources to maintain communication channels for healthcare providers and residents.
