HR 17-1009

House Resolution 17-1009, also known as the Meningococcal Disease Awareness bill, aims to increase awareness about meningococcal disease by requiring schools and childcare facilities to provide information to parents and guardians about this serious illness. This includes details on how it spreads, its symptoms, and the importance of vaccination. The bill affects all parents or guardians with children in Colorado’s educational institutions. Since the status is "signed," the bill has been approved by both houses of the legislature and signed into law by the governor, meaning that schools and childcare providers are now required to share this information starting from a specified date.
