        Amends various Acts relating to  the  governance  of  the  public      
   universities  in  Illinois.  Provides  that  at  the beginning of each      
   academic year, the university shall inform each of  its  students  and      
   the   student's   parents   or   guardian  about  meningitis  and  its      
   transmission.  Requires  the  University   to   recommend   meningitis      
   vaccination  and, for those students deciding not to be vaccinated, to      
   obtain a  signed  waiver  indicating  the  student's  receipt  of  the      
   information  provided  and  the student's rejection of the recommended      
   vaccination.  Requires any university facility  that  delivers  health      
   services   to   university  students  to  offer  meningitis  vaccines.      
   Effective July 1, 2001.                                                     
          FISCAL NOTE (Board of Higher Education)                              
          If HB 274 were enacted, public universities would incur costs        
          in two areas. First, each institution would incur administra-        
          tive costs related to the notification requirements and the          
          signed waiver receipts. It is not possible to quantify these         
          costs, but they would likely be significant. Secondly, public        
          universities would incur costs related to offering the vacci-        
          nation. The legislation does not indicate whether institutions       
          may charge sutdents for the vaccination. If there were no stu-       
          dent co-payment, the cost of offering the vaccinations would         
          range between $1.1 million and $1.5 million. The estimate            
          assumes that individual meningitis vaccinations cost $60 to $75      
          each, and that the number of students taking the vaccination         
          would be equal to 10% of the number of students enrolled in          
          public universities in Fall 2000.                                    
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Removes the provisions requiring a university to obtain a  signed      
   waiver  from  those  students deciding not to be vaccinated.  Provides      
   that the requirement that a university offer  meningitis  vaccines  is      
   subject to the availability of the vaccine from the manufacturer.           
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Removes the provisions requiring a university to obtain a  signed      
   waiver  from  those  students deciding not to be vaccinated.  Provides      
   that the requirement that a university offer  meningitis  vaccines  is      
   subject to the availability of the vaccine from the manufacturer.
