AI Summary
This bill repeals the existing exemption from vaccination requirements due to religious beliefs in New York state. It also amends provisions related to the immunization of children attending school, allowing for a temporary 30-day extension for students transferring from out-of-state or another country, or where the parent can demonstrate the child has received at least the first dose in each required immunization series and has scheduled appointments to complete the series. The bill also removes the requirement to report on the immunization status of children whose parents claimed a religious exemption, as that exemption is being repealed.
