Bill Summary
As introduced, deletes the responsibility of a parent or legal guardian to ensure that such person's child receives vaccines as recommended by guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the American Academy of Pediatrics. - Amends TCA Title 37.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 37, specifically by deleting Section 37-10-401(a), which currently outlines parents' or legal guardians' responsibility to ensure their children receive vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). By removing this subsection, the bill effectively eliminates the legal requirement for parents or guardians to ensure their children are vaccinated according to these professional medical guidelines. The legislation would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2 of the bill. This change could potentially have significant implications for childhood immunization rates in Tennessee, as it removes the existing statutory mandate for parents to follow standard vaccination recommendations.
