Materials posted here include model public health laws, presentations, articles, books, and reports. Model Public Health Laws: Uniform Emergency Volunteer Health Practitioners Act - Developed by the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) and completed in 2007, the UEVHPA provides uniform legislative language to facilitate organized response efforts of volunteer health practitioners responding to public health emergencies. Turning Point Model State Public Health Act - Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as part of its Turning Point Initiative, a multi-disciplinary group comprised of representatives from five states (Alaska, Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, Wisconsin), multiple national organizations and government agencies, and experts in public health conceived, drafted, and released in September 2003 the Turning Point Model State Public Health Act. The Turning Point Act offers comprehensive model state public health legisaltive provisions for state, local, and tribal governments seeking to revise or update public health statutes and administrative regulations.

Model State Emergency Health Powers Act - The MSEHPA grants public health powers to state and local public health authorities to ensure strong, effective, and timely planning, prevention, and response mechanisms to public health emergencies (including bioterrorism) while also respecting individual rights. Developed by the Centers for Law and the Public's Health: A Collabroative at Johns Hopkins and Georgetown Universities with multiple partners in 2001, state and local legislators and health officials nationwide use the MSEHPA as a guide for considering public health law reform in their states. Model State Public Health Privacy Act - Developed in 1999 with support from CDC and with significant input from an expert advisory group, the MSPHPA addresses privacy and security issues arising from the acquisition, use, disclosure, and storage of identifiable health information by public health agencies at the state and local levels. The Act regulates the handling of identifiable, health-related information by public health agencies without significantly limiting the ability of these agencies to use such information for legitimate public health purposes.
