1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2984
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2984 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Department of Public Health Powers and | ||||||
5 | Duties Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is | ||||||
6 | amended by changing Section 2310-650 as follows:
| ||||||
7 | (20 ILCS 2310/2310-650) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 2310-650. Influenza vaccination program. | ||||||
9 | (a) As used in this Section, "medically contraindicated" | ||||||
10 | means that administration of an influenza vaccine to an | ||||||
11 | employee would likely be detrimental to the employee's health. | ||||||
12 | (b) The Department of Public Health may require any | ||||||
13 | facility licensed by the Department to implement an influenza | ||||||
14 | vaccination program that ensures that the employees of the | ||||||
15 | facility are offered the opportunity to be vaccinated against | ||||||
16 | seasonal influenza and any other novel or pandemic influenza |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | viruses as vaccines become available. The Department may adopt | ||||||
2 | rules setting forth the requirements of the influenza | ||||||
3 | vaccination program. A health care employee may decline the | ||||||
4 | offer of vaccination if the vaccine is medically | ||||||
5 | contraindicated, if the vaccination is against the employee's | ||||||
6 | religious beliefs, or if the employee has already been | ||||||
7 | vaccinated. General philosophical or moral reluctance to | ||||||
8 | influenza vaccinations does not provide a sufficient basis for | ||||||
9 | an exemption.
| ||||||
10 | (Source: P.A. 96-823, eff. 11-25-09.)
| ||||||
11 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect July 1, | ||||||
12 | 2018.".
