121485
. (a) If the local health officer determines that persons
seeking first admission to any private or public elementary or
secondary school or institution are reasonably suspected of having
tuberculosis and further determines that the examination of the
persons for tuberculosis is necessary for the preservation and
protection of the public health, he or she may issue an order
requiring the persons to undergo a tuberculosis examination.
(b) If an order has been issued pursuant to subdivision (a), the
governing authority shall not unconditionally admit any person
subject to the order as a pupil of any private or public elementary
or secondary school, or institution, unless prior to his or her first
admission to that institution, he or she provides evidence to the
institution of a certificate showing that he or she is free of
communicable tuberculosis.
(c) Thereafter, any such pupil may be required to undergo the
tuberculosis examinations and provide another certificate showing
that he or she is free of communicable tuberculosis, if the local
health officer orders the examination.
