The bill obligates health‑care providers to discuss benefits, side effects, and the timing of SIDS/SUID with parents before giving any vaccine to infants under 12 months, and to obtain a signed acknowledgment on a standardized form. It also requires medical examiners to record the infant’s vaccination record in every SUID/SIDS case and report it to the Child Death Review Commission.
