 4 state payments for aged, blind and disabled persons, family assistance,
 5 safety net assistance, services funded under title XX of the federal
 6 social security act, medical assistance, or any other assistance or

 10 tetanus, pneumococcal disease, meningococcal disease, hepatitis A, hepa-
 11 titis B, influenza, rotavirus, and COVID-19; provided, however, this

 16 gonorrhea, Hansen's disease, syphilis, tuberculosis, any communicable
 17 disease which may make a person subject to quarantine, and any other
 18 communicable disease which the commissioner of health deems of public
 19 health significance unless such person has consented to and is receiving
 20 appropriate treatment for any such communicable disease which returned a
 21 positive screening test; and
 22 (c) has not been found to have a physical or mental disorder which has
 23 an associated harmful behavior.
