What’s in it

This bill relates to exemptions from immunization required for a person’s enrollment in any elementary or secondary school or licensed child care center. The bill amends the existing medical exemption provision to require that the statement signed by the health care professional and submitted to the admitting official must state that the immunizations required could, rather than would, be injurious to the health and well-being of the applicant or any member of the applicant’s family. The bill amends the existing religious exemption provision to provide that the affidavit signed and submitted must state that the immunization conflicts with the religious beliefs of the applicant, not the tenets and practices of a recognized religious denomination of which the applicant is an adherent or member.
