Effective immediately.Fiscal Note (Dept. of Public Health) The Department estimates that HB 192 will have a fiscal impact of approximately $400,000 annually. The cost estimated includes funding for the addition of 2 FTEs to implement the epidemiologic surveillance, reporting and guideline development activities and to design a new Illinois National Electronic Disease Surveillance System module to meet the requirements of HB 192 Engrossed. It should be noted that if the data collection prescribed by the current Communicable Disease Code revisions is deemed sufficient to meet the provisions of HB 192 (H-AM 3), the costs for the INEDSS CA-MRSA module for reporting could possibly be reduced. 1/4/2007HousePrefiled with Clerk by Rep.
