AI Summary
This bill repeals the religious exemption from vaccination requirements for children attending school in New York, while allowing for a temporary extension of the 14-day vaccination requirement for students transferring from out-of-state or other countries, or those who have received at least the first dose of each required vaccination and have scheduled appointments to complete the series. The bill also amends the reporting requirements for the immunization status of children exempt from vaccinations to exclude those previously exempt for religious reasons, as that exemption is being repealed.
