Please OPPOSE the proposed Amendments and fast-tracking to “12 VAC 5-90 Changing the Reporting Requirement for Influenza Virus in Virginia”. The amendments are not appropriate for fast-tracking. Va. Code § 2.2-4012.1 Fast-track rulemaking process allows for "rules that are expected to be noncontroversial” to be rushed through the rule making process. The proposed amendments ARE controversial in nature and application. The proposed amendments, which require the reporting of DETAILED PERSONAL INFORMATION to state officials, constitute unnecessary and UNWARRANTED GOVERNMENT OVERREACH IN VIOLATION OF THE VIRGINIA CONSTITUTION, which guarantees all Virginia citizens the RIGHT TO PRIVACY. MY MEDICAL HISTORY AND TREATMENT SHOULD REMAIN BETWEEN MY DOCTOR AND MYSELF.
