What’s in it

This bill relates to notice of immunization exemptions. Under current law, all children enrolled in any licensed child care center or elementary or secondary school in the state are required to have certain immunizations, subject to specific religious and health exemptions (exemptions). Local public health departments are not required to include information about exemptions or the requirements for obtaining an exemption in any public communication.183, community colleges, and institutions of higher education under the control of the board of regents are required by statute, rule, or policy to include such information in immunization-related communications.
