The bill amends the public health law to establish strict liability for the state for injuries caused by the administration of immunizations mandated by state law. It also amends the court of claims act to give the court jurisdiction over claims for injuries caused by required immunizations. The state is strictly liable if the injury was caused by an immunization mandated by law, administered by a health practitioner, and the injury was proximately caused by the immunization. The health practitioner is not liable unless the injury was caused by gross negligence.
