Bill > SF3439

This bill, effective August 1, 2026, prohibits the use of exemptions based on conscientiously held beliefs for immunizations against measles, mumps, and rubella for individuals enrolling or enrolled in child care facilities, certified license-exempt child care centers, preschools, prekindergarten programs, or elementary and secondary schools. For those who previously claimed a belief-based exemption for these specific vaccines before the effective date, parents or guardians must now provide documentation of the required immunizations or a medical exemption. The bill also clarifies definitions for "certified license-exempt child care center" and "prekindergarten" within the relevant statutes.
