AI Summary
This bill proposes a limited informed consent exemption to state vaccination requirements. It allows a person or their dependent to be exempt from any immunization requirement, unless certain conditions are met, such as the vaccine being licensed by the FDA, having undergone long-term safety testing, and being proven to prevent transmission of the target infection. The exemption, referred to as the "informed consent exemption," can be exercised without any precondition or other requirement. The bill also amends existing laws related to vaccination requirements for school attendance and child care centers, providing the informed consent exemption as an additional option.
