The education law is amended by adding a new section 921 to read as follows: S 921. MRSA AND OTHER INFECTIOUS SKIN DISEASE PROTECTION AND EDUCA- TION. 1. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THE LEGISLATURE FINDS AND DETERMINES THAT METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) IS A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 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 IS WITH RESPECT TO SCHOOL ATHLETIC FACILITIES AND EVENTS.
