Bill Summary
Relative to the protection of medical exemptions for immunizations for school attendance. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect medical exemptions for immunizations required for school attendance. It allows a child to be admitted to school upon a medical certification from a physician that, in their professional judgment, the child's health would be endangered by the required vaccinations or immunizations. The medical certification must be kept confidential and cannot be used to discipline the physician or negatively impact their standing. The bill also maintains the existing religious exemption for vaccination or immunization requirements.
