House Bill 1098 amends the Education Code to clarify that immunization against human papillomavirus (HPV) is not required for a person's admission to any elementary or secondary school. The bill requires the Health and Human Services Commission to make available to parents or legal guardians certain educational material about HPV using existing commission resources. House Bill 1098 further authorizes the executive commissioner of the Health and Human Services Commission rather than the Texas Board of Health to determine which immunizations may be required for admission to any elementary or secondary school. The provisions of the bill relating to immunization against HPV and associated educational materials expire January 11, 2011.
