This bill amends the existing law regarding immunization requirements for individuals residing in foster family homes. It specifies that vaccination requirements for both children and adults in foster homes shall not exceed those outlined in RSA 141-C:20-a, which includes stipulations on the type of vaccinations, the quantity of doses, and the authorization for exemptions. The new legal language clarifies that there will be no additional vaccination or immunization requirements imposed on adults residing in foster homes, aligning their requirements with those applicable to children.

The bill modifies RSA 170-E:27-b by inserting provisions that explicitly state the limitations on vaccination requirements for adults, while also removing the previous phrasing that only referenced children. The effective date of the act is set for 60 days after its passage, ensuring that the new regulations will be implemented in a timely manner.
