SB 893 - This act allows the Department of Health in
association with local health agencies to assess the potential
for transmission of foodborne disease from contaminated food
originating from retail food establishments. If the Department
of Health determines that action is needed, public announcements
will be made and clinics opened to administer dosages against the
spread of disease. The establishment responsible for the
outbreak shall reimburse the Department of Health for the costs
of the clinic and of the immune globulin dosages. Reimbursements
will not exceed one-half of the total cost of the clinic or a
maximum of $1000.
