MRSA IS A BACTE- RIA THAT CAN LEAD TO THE OUTBREAK OF SERIOUS INFECTIONS.

SUCH EDUCATION, PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES ARE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT WHERE THE RISKS OF TRANSMISSION ARE SIGNIFICANT, INCLUDING IN OUR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, WHERE SUCH EDUCATION, PROTOCOLS AND METHODS CAN BE DEPLOYED TO LESSEN THE CHANCE AND RISK OF INFECTION. THE LEGISLATURE ADDITIONALLY FINDS AND DETERMINES THAT ONE AREA IN WHICH SUCH EDUCATION, PROTOCOLS AND METHODS COULD BE ESPECIALLY USEFUL EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
