Bill Summary: Assembly Bill A 9060 (Print Number 9060A)

Overview

  • Bill Number: A 9060
  • Title: Expands the entities that may make recommendations for administering immunizations to include the immunization advisory council and the 21st century workgroup for disease elimination and reduction
  • Status: Print Number 9060A (revised version)
  • Introduced: September 5, 2025
  • Primary Committee: Higher Education (referred to upon introduction)

Purpose and Intent
- The bill broadens the set of bodies eligible to issue recommendations related to administering immunizations. Specifically, it adds two entities—the Immunization Advisory Council and the 21st Century Workgroup for Disease Elimination and Reduction—as permissible sources for immunization recommendations. The aim appears to strengthen input from recognized public health and disease-elimination-focused groups in shaping immunization policy and administration.

Key Provisions (as proposed)

  • Adds to the list of entities that may make recommendations for administering immunizations:
    • The Immunization Advisory Council
    • The 21st Century Workgroup for Disease Elimination and Reduction
  • The rest of the bill’s language (formatting, definitions, and related procedural language) remains consistent with existing statute that governs who may provide immunization recommendations.

Notes:
- The text provided does not specify funding, detailed procedures, or explicit policy mandates beyond expanding the eligible recommending bodies.
- No changes are indicated to immunization schedules, mandates, or enforcement mechanisms within the excerpt; the primary change is the addition of new recommending bodies.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Public health policy bodies and immunization program administrators: These groups would have the new option to receive input from the Immunization Advisory Council and the 21st Century Workgroup for Disease Elimination and Reduction when formulating immunization recommendations.
  • Healthcare providers and immunization administrators: Indirectly affected through potential shifts in guidance or recommendations that arise from inputs of the newly included bodies.
  • Public health planning and program implementation: May experience updated guidance or best-practice recommendations reflecting the expertise of the added entities.

Procedural Timeline and Status

  • Introduction: 9/5/2025, referred to the Higher Education committee.
  • Amendments and Reconsiderations: 9/12/2025, two technical amendments (T) and reconvening/recommitment to Higher Education noted; version 9060A printed on 9/12/2025.

Sponsors

Practical Considerations

  • If enacted, agencies and committees involved in immunization policy would have formal input channels from the Immunization Advisory Council and the 21st Century Workgroup for Disease Elimination and Reduction.
  • Interpretation and implementation details (e.g., how the two added bodies’ recommendations are weighted or integrated) would be clarified in subsequent committee and floor amendments.
