HPV INFORMATION IN SCHOOLS S.B. 415 (S-1) & 416: FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 415 (Substitute S-1 as reported)
Senate Bill 416 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor: Senator Deborah Cherry (S.B. 415)
Senator Tony Stamas (S.B. 416)
Committee: Health Policy
CONTENT
Senate Bill 415 (S-1) would amend the Public Health Code to require the Department of Community Health (DCH) to identify materials about the risks associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and the availability, effectiveness, and potential risks of immunization for HPV. The DCH would have to notify public schools, public school academies, and nonpublic schools of the availability of the materials, and encourage schools to provide the information or make it available to parents of students attending the schools. The DCH also would have to post the materials on its website.
Senate Bill 416 would amend the Revised School Code to require a school board that provided information on school health issues to the parents and guardians of students in or entering the sixth grade, to include information about HPV and the HPV vaccine. At a minimum, the information would have to include the risks associated with HPV; the availability, effectiveness, and potential risks of immunization for HPV; and sources where parents and guardians could obtain additional information about HPV and could obtain vaccination of a child against HPV.

FISCAL IMPACT
Senate Bill 415 (S-1) would lead to an indeterminate increase in administrative cost for the Department of Community Health associated with researching educational materials about HPV and HPV immunization and notifying schools of the availability of the information.
Senate Bill 416 would have no fiscal impact on State government.
School districts providing other health information to families of sixth graders would see minimally increased costs if this bill were enacted, pertaining to the compilation and distribution of information on HPV.
