HIGHER EDUCATION (a) BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION Immunization Requirements Proposed New Rules: N.J.A.C. 9:2-14 Authorized By: Board of Higher Education, T. Edward Hollander, Chancellor and Secretary. Authority: N.J.S.A. 18A:6ID-1. Proposal Number: PRN 1989-617. Submit comments by December 20, 1989 to: Grey J. Dirnenna, Esq. Director of Governmental Affairs Department of Higher Education CN 542 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 The agency proposal follows: Summary These proposed new rules will implement the legislative mandate of N.J.S.A. 18A:6ID-1 (P.L. 1988, c.158) requiring all undergraduate and graduate students under the age of 30 (as of 1987) and enrolled in a program leading to an academic degree to submit to their institution of higher education a valid immunization record as a condition of admission or continued enrollment. Institutions of higher education may exempt from this requirement any students who attended an elementary or sec- ondary school located in New Jersey (students attending these schools had to comply with identical immunization requirements), any student whose religious beliefs do not permit immunizations and students for whom an immunization is medically contraindicated. The Department of Health's Section on Communicable Disease and Epidemiology recommended the inclusion of specific technical immuniza- tion requirements in these rules. These call for proper immunization against three vaccine-preventable communicable diseases-measles, mumps and rubella-representing the most likely cases of epidemic on a college campus. Institutions of higher education will be required to document proper immunization or exemption for all new or continuing students enrolled in programs leading to an academic degree as a condition of enrollment. The statute requires implementation effective September I, 1989. Institu- tions are required to maintain a record of student immunization in hard copy format and keep it separately from other medical and academic records so they are accessible for use by public health personnel in the event of an outbreak of disease. Annually, institutions will report summary numbers to the State De- partment of Health regarding the total enrollment, the number of ex- empted students and the number for whom required immunizations have been verified. Social Impact The proposed new rules will have a beneficial social impact by increas- ing the level of immunity to contagious disease and by facilitating efforts to reduce the likelihood of epidemics on New Jersey's college and univer- sity campuses. Recent experience in New Jersey high schools and colleges show that current students are not necessarily immune to either mumps or measles. As rubella epidemics have been documented on college cam- puses in New York, California, Washington and Massachusetts, it is important that New Jersey institutions be prepared in the event of an outbreak and New Jersey students be immunized for these contagious diseases. Economic Impact There is minimal economic impact to the students and a small impact to the institutions. The economic impact to the institutions will be the administrative costs of implementing this requirement. Many of New Jersey's institutions already require some immunizations and, as a result of a survey of these institutions, the Department found that most four- year and graduate institutions already have health facilities and personnel to monitor student immunization requirements. The administrative tasks required by the rules can be managed by a trained clerical worker. The Department of Health will assist the institutions initially by providing some training for staff to identify and maintain proper records. Students who wish to attend a New Jersey institution of higher educa- tion and who have not been immunized for these contagious diseases will have to obtain the immunizations. Over 90 percent of New Jersey college students are State residents, who probably attended a New Jersey high school. Therefore, the majority of the students will be either exempt from or already in compliance with the requirements of these rules. The stu- dents most likely to be impacted are those from out-of-State or country. The current single dose cost for the combined MMR vaccine (measles- mumps-rubella) is $27.23, plus any additional service charge from a health NEW JERSEY REGISTER, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1989 (CITE 21 N.J.R. 3605) You're viewing an archived copy from the New Jersey State Library. Case 3:21-cv-15333-ZNQ-TJB Document 42-4 Filed 01/11/22 Page 3 of 5 PageID: 731 HIGHER EDUCATION care provider. A vaccination against one of the three diseases given singly costs about $15.00. This expense is reasonable when balanced against the health risks associated with these contagious diseases. Regulatory Flexibility Statement A regulatory flexibility analysis is not required because the proposed new rules do not impose reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements on small businesses. The rules set forth immunization re- quirements for students attending institutions of higher education in New Jersey. Full text of the proposed new rules follows: SUBCHAPTER 14. IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS 9:2-14.1 Applicability This subchapter applies to every new or continuing full-time and part-time undergraduate or graduate student enrolled in a program leading to an academic degree at any public or independent institu- tion of higher education licensed by the New Jersey Board of Higher Education. 9:2-14.2 Exemptions (a) Students shall be exempt from immunization requirements for medical or religious grounds under conditions set forth in N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.7 and 14.8. (b) An exemption may be made, in the discretion of an institution for the following categories of students: ' I. Each student born before 1957; 2. Each student who presents proof of having attended an elemen- tary or secondary school located in New Jersey (such as the school record of immunization, transcript, or diploma). An institution which grants an exemption on this basis should still request that the student furnish a record of immunization in accordance with N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.6; 3. A student enrolled in a program for which students do not congregate, whether for classes or to participate in institution spon- sored events, such as those in programs for individualized home study or conducted solely via electronic media. (c) in these rules should be construed as limiting the authority of a New Jersey institution of higher education to establish additional requirements for student immunizations and documenta- tion that it determines appropriate. 9:2-14.3 Required immunizations (a) The following immunizations or proof of thereof shall be re- quired pursuant to this subchapter: I. Measles virus vaccine: i. Each student shall document immunization of one dose of measles virus vaccine, live attenuated, or any vaccine combination containing measles antigen, that was administered after 1968 and on or after the student's first birthday. ii. A student vaccinated with killed or an unknown vaccine prior to 1968 shall be revaccinated or produce laboratory proof of measles immunity. iii. A student who presents serologic laboratory evidence of measles immunity shall not be required to receive measles vaccine. 2. Mumps virus vaccine: i. Each student shall document immunization of one dose of mumps virus vaccine, live attenuated, or any vaccine combination containing mumps antigen that was administered on or after the student's first birthday. ii. A student with a history of physician diagnosed mumps disease substantiated by a physician's statement shall not be required to receive a mumps vaccine. iii. A student who presents serologic laboratory evidence of mumps immunity shall not be required to receive a mumps vaccine. 3. Rubella vaccine: i. Each student shall document immunization of one dose of rubella virus vaccine, live attenuated, or any vaccine combination containing rubella antigen, that was administered on or after the student's first birthday. ii. A student who presents serologic laboratory evidence of rubella immunity shall not be required to receive rubella vaccine. PROPOSALS 9:2-14.4 Institutional responsibility for enforcement (a) Each institution shall require acceptable evidence of immuniza- tion as a prerequisite to enrollment of each student who is not exempt from the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.2 in accordance with this subchapter. (b) Each institution shall identify to the New Jersey State Depart- ment of Health an institutional official responsible for the adminis- tration and enforcement of this subchapter and for the maintenance of immunization records. (c) Each institution shall establish policies and procedures to en- force student compliance with this subchapter within 60 days of enrollment. 9:2-14.5 Provisional admission (a) A student may be admitted and enrolled into the institution on a provisional basis for his or her first term if required immuniza- tion documentation is not available at the time of registration. (b) Prior to the second term, a student must present documenta- tion or acceptable proof of immunity in accordance with the require- ments of this subchapter or be reimmunized. (c) In the event of a vaccine preventable disease outbreak, the institution may, in consultation with the State Department of Health, exclude each student with provisional status from attending classes and participating in institution sponsored activities until proof of adequate immunization is furnished (N.J.A.C. 8:57-1.7 and 1.8). 9:2-14.6 Documents accepted as evidence of immunization (a) An institution shall accept the following documents as evidence of a student's immunization history provided the specific immuniza- tion and the exact date of each immunization administered is listed: I. An official school immunization record or copy thereof from any primary or secondary school indicating compliance with the immunization requirements of N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.3; 2. A record from any public health department indicating com- pliance with the immunization requirements ofN.J.A.C. 9:2-14.3; or 3. A record signed by a physician licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy in any jurisdiction of the United States or foreign country or other licensed health professional approved by the New Jersey State Department of Health indicating compliance with the immunization requirements of NJ.A.C. 9:2-14.3. 9:2-14.7 Medical exemption to immunization (a) A student shall be exempt from receiving or documenting receipt of any required immunizations which are medically contrain- dicated in accordance with NJ.A.C. 9:2-14.2(a). The conditions which comprise valid contraindication to vaccine administration shall be those set forth within the most recent Recommendations of the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee published periodically by the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia 30333. Such students shall present a written statement from a physician licensed to practice mediclne or osteopathy within the United States or another foreign country stating that a specific immunization is medi- cally contraindicated for a specific period and the reasons for the medical contraindication which exempt a student from the specific immunization requirements of N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.3. (b) Each institution shall maintain the written physician's state- ment as of the immunization record and shall review it annually to determine whether the exemption shall remain in effect for the next year. When a student's condition for the medical contraindica- tion no longer exists, the student must be immunized. (c) In the event of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak the institution may, in consultation with the State Department of Health, exclude each student with a medical exemption to the specific relevant v.acc.ine from attending class and other institution sponsored ac- nvines. 9:2-14.8 Religious exemption from immunization . (a) A is exempt from documenting the required immuniza- tions set forth 10 N.J.A.C. 9:2-14.3 if the student submits a written statement to the institution signed by the student and an official :eprese?tat.ive of the student's religious institution explaining how imrnuruzauon conflicts with his or her religious beliefs and such statement is made a part of the student's immunization record.

INSURANCE (a) DIVISION OF FINANCIAL EXAMINATIONS AND LIQUIDATIONS Formation of a Domestic Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation (Stock or Mutual) or Reciprocal Insurance Exchange Proposed New Rules: N.J.A.C. 11:1-28 Authorized By: Kenneth D. Merin, Commissioner, Department of Insurance. Authority: N.J.S.A. 17:1-8.1; 17:IC-6(e), 17:17-1 et seq., 17:46A-I et seq., 17:46B-1 et seq. and 17:50-1 et seq. Proposal Number: PRN 1989-613. Submit comments by December 20, 1989 to: Verice M. Mason Assistant Commissioner Legislative and Regulatory Affairs Department of Insurance CN 325 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 The agency proposal follows: Summary N.J.S.A. 17:17-1 et seq. sets forth the requirements for the formation of a domestic property and casualty insurance company in the State of New Jersey. N.J.S.A. 17:46A-I et seq., 17:46B-I et seq. and 17:50-1 et seq. provide additional requirements for the formation of mortgage guarantee insurance companies, title insurance companies and reciprocal insurance exchanges, respectively. Pursuant to these statutes, the Department developed informal filing requirements providing for the submission of specified information by a proposed domestic property and casualty insurance corporation or attorney in fact representing a proposed reciprocal insurance exchange relating to its organization and proposed method of operation. This information must be received and approved before the Department will issue to an applicant a certificate of authority to transact property and casualty insurance. The Department has now determined to codify and clarify these requirements by proposing these new rules. This will ensure that the filing requirements for the formation of a domestic property and casualty insurer or reciprocal insurance exchange will be clearly and consistently set forth, thus streamlining the application process by ensur- ing that all applicants will be fully apprised of these requirements. The proposed rules differ from the existing guidelines by requiring that more detailed information be filed and by providing a "four-tiered" application process rather than the "two-tiered" process currently utilized. Under the proposed rules, an applicant first submits a "feasibility study" containing specified information relating to the applicant's method of operation. A $1,000 filing fee must be included with the feasibility study to cover the costs of Department reviewof the documents submitted. Secondly, if the Commissioner determines that the operation of the applicant is feasible, pursuant to the feasibility study, the applicant must submit its by-laws, biographical information on its incorporators, directors and officers and its certificate of incorporation for review. The officers, directors and incorporators of the applicant are then subject to and must pay the costs of a criminal history records check pursuant to proposed N.J.A.C. 11:1-28.7. Finally, the applicant is subject to an or- ganization exam conducted on the site of its place of business. The Commissioner may then issue a certificate of authority to the applicant as provided in proposed N.J.A.C. 11:1-28.9.
