The bill amends section 23-12-22 of the North Dakota Century Code to enhance the transparency and accessibility of vaccine adverse event data. It mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to prominently display a link to the federal vaccine adverse event reporting system on its website, along with instructions for reporting adverse events and accessing state-specific data. The previous provision allowing the department to compile its own data for the website has been removed.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to provide a report to the legislative management by July 1st of each even-numbered year. This report will include all state-specific data and a summary of all reported data nationally, ensuring that lawmakers have access to comprehensive information regarding vaccine adverse events.
